Expert Storm Damage Roof Repair in St Austell, Cornwall

It is tempting to think a single missing tile or a bit of cracked mortar isn't a big deal, but in Cornwall's damp climate, small problems grow fast. Once wind gets under a loose slate, it can easily rip up the rest of the row, and driving rain has a way of finding its way behind old lead flashing or into failing chimney stacks. This moisture quickly leads to damp, rot in your roof timbers, and ruined plasterwork inside. Most homeowners we chat with in places like Mevagissey and St Blazey wish they'd called someone sooner. We focus on finding the root cause—not just slapping on a quick patch. Whether it's replacing wind-blown ridge tiles, re-bedding mortar, or sorting out leaking gutters, we make sure the fix is built to last through the next winter gale.

One of the biggest frustrations people have with larger roofing firms is being passed around from a salesman to a site manager and finally to a sub-contractor who's never seen your house before. When you hire me, you deal with one person from start to finish. I am the one who answers your call, I'm the one who climbs the ladder to inspect the damage, and I'm the one who carries out the repair. This means there is no miscommunication and absolute accountability for every slate I lay. Being a sole trader also means I can offer fair, transparent pricing without the overheads of a big national company. Plus, for your peace of mind, I carry full Public Liability Insurance, so your property is always protected while I am on-site.

Sometimes, the source of a leak isn't obvious from the ground, especially on the tall Victorian terraces or complex roofs often found around Charlestown or Fowey. To save you the cost and hassle of unnecessary scaffolding, we often use drone surveys to get a bird's-eye view of your roof. This high-resolution aerial imaging allows us to spot failed mortar, cracked tiles, or blocked valleys that might be invisible from a ladder. We cover the whole St Austell area and out to surrounding spots like Par and Roche. Whether you need a simple slate replacement or a full assessment of your chimney’s leadwork, we use the right materials—from traditional slate to modern GRP fibreglass—to ensure your home stays dry.

You might be wondering if your insurance will cover the storm damage or if it is finally time for a full re-roof rather than another repair. We're here to give you an honest professional opinion based on over 25 years of local experience. We won't try to sell you a new roof if a solid repair will do the job for years to come. From clearing out storm-clogged gutters to repointing chimney stacks that have taken a battering from the salt spray, we handle it all. If you've noticed a problem after a storm, don't wait for the next downpour to hit. Call us on 01392 542323 today. We will provide a clear, no-obligation quote and get your St Austell home back to its best, ensuring it is ready for whatever the South West weather throws at it next.
