Here’s what makes our approach different.

1. Free, No-Obligation Quotes

Getting your roof looked at shouldn’t cost a penny — and with us, it doesn’t.

We provide free, no-obligation quotes for all roofing work, from small repairs to complete roof replacements. When you contact our team, we’ll arrange a convenient time to inspect your roof and provide a clear, detailed breakdown of any recommended work.

No call-out fees

No pressure to commit

No hidden costs

Our goal is simple: to give you the facts, so you can make an informed decision about your property.

2. Drone Roof Surveys – Safe, Accurate & Affordable

Sometimes, it’s hard to spot the problem from ground level. That’s where our drone roof surveys come in.

Using the latest drone technology, we can capture high-resolution aerial images and videos of your roof — safely, quickly, and without the need for scaffolding or ladders.

The benefits of a drone survey:

• Accurate inspections without risking damage to your roof.
• Ideal for hard-to-reach or high properties.
• Clear visual evidence of any issues, which we share with you in a report.
• Cost-effective – saves time and reduces the need for access equipment.

Drone surveys are particularly useful for older or listed buildings, where a gentle approach is essential. It’s the safest way to assess your roof condition before starting any work.

3. Competitive Pricing Without Cutting Corners

We understand that roofing work can be a big investment — so we aim to keep our prices fair, transparent, and competitive.

Because we manage every stage of the job in-house (from project planning to scaffolding and building control), we can keep costs down without compromising on quality.

We don’t believe in quick fixes or cheap materials. Instead, we provide long-lasting solutions using trusted products and proven techniques — giving you real value for money.

4. Honest Advice You Can Rely On

Not every roofing issue needs a replacement. Sometimes, a small repair is all that’s required — and we’ll always tell you the truth.

Our team has years of experience across fibreglass roofing, leadwork, asbestos removal, flat roofs, chimney repairs, and more. We’ll give you clear, practical advice tailored to your property, budget, and long-term needs.

5. Local, Independent, and Trusted Across Devon

As a locally based roofing company, we take pride in serving our community with honesty and reliability. We’ve built our reputation on word-of-mouth recommendations and repeat customers — because people know they can count on us.

Whether it’s a small domestic roof or a large commercial project, we approach every job with the same care and attention to detail.

Covering Devon and the South Hams

Free quotes. Drone surveys. Competitive pricing.

Your one-stop roof shop for quality, reliability, and value.

At South Hams Roofing Services, we often see minor issues become major repair jobs simply because they were ignored for too long. Here’s why it’s so important to get roof problems looked at straight away.

1. Small Problems Quickly Become Expensive Ones

A cracked tile or small gap in your flashing might not look serious — but once water starts getting in, the damage can spread fast.

Water can soak into your roof timbers, insulation, and even interior walls, causing rot, mould, and ceiling damage. What might have been a simple repair could end up needing a full roof replacement or structural work.

Early repairs are always cheaper than emergency fixes.

2. Prevent Internal Damage and Damp

A roof’s main job is to protect your home from the elements. Once that protection is compromised, damp patches, mould, and water damage can start appearing inside.

Over time, moisture can ruin plaster, paint, and insulation — and in severe cases, affect your home’s electrical systems.

By spotting and repairing roof issues early, you’re not just protecting the roof — you’re protecting your entire home.

3. Stop Problems Before Winter Hits

Roof issues tend to get worse during cold, wet, or windy weather — and once winter arrives, repairs become harder to carry out.

Freezing temperatures and heavy rainfall can turn a small leak into a major one. Tiles may lift further in strong winds, and water can freeze and expand in cracks, widening the damage.

Autumn is the best time to get your roof inspected and repaired so it’s ready to withstand the winter ahead.

4. Protect Your Energy Efficiency

If your roof isn’t sealed properly, warm air can escape and cold air can creep in — forcing your heating system to work harder.

Damaged or missing tiles, broken seals, and gaps in leadwork can all contribute to heat loss. Fixing these issues quickly keeps your home energy-efficient and your bills lower.

5. Avoid Health Risks

A leaky or damp roof can lead to mould growth, which can trigger respiratory issues and allergies — especially in children and older adults.

By repairing leaks quickly, you’re not just maintaining your property — you’re protecting your family’s health.

6. Preserve the Value of Your Home

Your roof is one of the most important parts of your property’s structure. A damaged or poorly maintained roof can reduce your home’s value and make it harder to sell.

Keeping your roof in top condition shows that your home has been well cared for and properly maintained, reassuring future buyers.

7. Peace of Mind, Rain or Shine

It’s easy to forget about your roof until there’s a problem — but regular inspections and quick repairs mean you won’t have to worry when the weather turns bad.

Knowing that your roof is watertight and structurally sound gives you peace of mind all year round.

Serving homes and businesses across Devon and the South Hams

At South Hams Roofing Services, we specialise in both, but here’s why fibreglass often comes out on top.

1. Durability and Lifespan

• Fibreglass Roofing (GRP): A well-installed fibreglass roof can last 30 years or more with minimal maintenance. It’s resistant to cracking, splitting, and UV damage, making it one of the most durable roofing options available.

• Rubber Roofing (EPDM): Rubber roofs generally last around 15–20 years. While flexible and weather-resistant, they can be vulnerable to punctures, shrinkage, and edge lifting over time.

Winner: Fibreglass – it simply lasts longer and needs less upkeep.

2. Seamless Finish

• Fibreglass: Installed as a single, continuous layer, fibreglass roofs are completely seamless. This means there are no weak points where water can seep through—ideal in a rainy county like Devon.

• Rubber (EPDM): Rubber roofing often comes in large sheets, but on bigger roofs, joins and seams may be required. Over time, these can become vulnerable to leaks.

Winner: Fibreglass – a totally watertight finish.

3. Strength and Load-Bearing

• Fibreglass: Strong enough to walk on, fibreglass roofs are perfect for balconies, terraces, or even areas where ladders and maintenance teams need access.

• Rubber: While EPDM is flexible, it’s not designed for heavy foot traffic. Sharp objects, tools, or even garden furniture can puncture the surface.

Winner: Fibreglass – built to withstand everyday use.

4. Appearance

• Fibreglass: With a smooth, modern finish available in different colours, fibreglass roofing often looks more aesthetically pleasing than rubber. It can even be matched to surrounding features for a smarter appearance.

• Rubber: EPDM is generally only available in black, giving it a more industrial look that doesn’t suit all properties.

Winner: Fibreglass – smart, clean, and versatile.

5. Maintenance

• Fibreglass: Very low maintenance. Occasional cleaning and a check of the trims are usually all that’s required.

• Rubber: Rubber roofs are relatively low-maintenance too, but they can shrink or pull away at the edges over time, especially if exposed to extreme weather.

Winner: Fibreglass – less likely to require repair.

6. Cost-Effectiveness

While fibreglass can cost slightly more to install than rubber, its longer lifespan, minimal repairs, and improved durability make it the most cost-effective option in the long run.

Think of it as an investment—you’re paying for peace of mind for decades to come.

Which Roof is Best for You?

If you want a roofing option that:

Lasts over 30 years
Looks modern and neat
Is tough enough to walk on
Requires minimal maintenance

… then fibreglass roofing is the ideal choice.

EPDM rubber roofing can still be a good budget-friendly option for smaller roofs and garden buildings—but for long-term value and performance, fibreglass is hard to beat.

Expert Fibreglass Roofing in Devon

At South Hams Roofing Services, we’ve installed hundreds of fibreglass and rubber roofs across Devon. Our expert team can help you choose the best solution for your property and budget.

At South Hams Roofing Services, we help homeowners across Devon identify and fix leaks before they escalate. Here’s how you can spot the warning signs early.

Water Stains on Ceilings & Walls

One of the clearest signs of a roof leak is a brown or yellow stain spreading across your ceiling or running down interior walls. These patches often get darker after rainfall and may expand over time.

Don’t ignore even small marks—what looks like a tiny stain could mean water is spreading much further behind the plaster.

Damp or Musty Smells in the Loft

If your loft smells damp or musty, moisture could be seeping in through cracked tiles, faulty flashing, or poor ventilation. Check for:

• Damp insulation

• Discoloured timber

• Water droplets on rafters or felt

A regular check of your loft, especially after heavy rain, can help you catch leaks early.

Dripping Water

It might sound obvious, but dripping water in the loft or upstairs rooms is a sure sign your roof has a problem. Even if it only happens during heavy rain, it’s a red flag that water is finding its way through your roof covering.

This kind of leak won’t fix itself—act quickly before it damages your electrics, ceilings, and flooring.

Moss, Algae, and Exterior Damage

Sometimes the signs of a roof leak are visible from outside. Look out for:

• Missing, cracked, or slipped slates and tiles

• Damaged lead flashing around chimneys or valleys

• Blocked or overflowing gutters causing water to back up

• Moss or algae growth that indicates trapped moisture

Even if you can’t see water inside yet, these external issues can lead to leaks over time.

Peeling Paint and Bubbling Plaster

If water is seeping into your walls, you may notice peeling wallpaper, blistering paint, or bubbling plaster. These are often mistaken for general damp, but the root cause is often a leaking roof.

Left untreated, the moisture can spread throughout your property, leading to mould growth and damage to your home’s structure.

What to Do if you Suspect a Leak

If you spot any of the above signs, don’t delay. Roof leaks don’t go away on their own—they only get worse.

Here’s what you should do:

1. Note down where and when the problem occurs (after rain, in certain rooms, etc.)

2. Avoid climbing on the roof yourself—it’s unsafe and may cause further damage.

3. Call a professional roofing contractor for an inspection.

At South Hams Roofing Services, we can carry out a thorough roof survey—including drone surveys for hard-to-reach areas—and provide a clear plan for repair.

If you’ve noticed cracked tiles, leaks, or loose flashing, now is the time to get them fixed—before the cold season makes them worse.

At South Hams Roofing Services, we help homeowners across Devon prepare their roofs for winter so they can avoid costly repairs and stressful emergencies.

1. Winter Weather Makes Roof Damage Worse

Small issues can quickly escalate when exposed to winter’s harsher conditions:

• Heavy rain can turn a minor leak into significant water damage.
• Strong winds can loosen or remove more tiles, exposing your roof to the elements.
• Frost and ice can expand small cracks in roof materials, making them bigger and harder to repair.

By tackling these issues in autumn, you prevent them from developing into expensive structural problems during the winter months.

2. Avoid Emergency Repairs in Bad Weather

Roof repairs in winter are not only more challenging—they can also be more costly. Poor weather can delay work, require additional safety measures, and sometimes lead to temporary fixes instead of long-term solutions.

By addressing repairs now, you:

• Reduce the risk of urgent call-outs during storms
• Save on extra costs for out-of-hours work
• Have more flexibility to choose the best repair time

3. Keep Your Energy Bills Down

A damaged roof often means heat loss. Gaps, missing tiles, or poor insulation allow warm air to escape and cold air to creep in, making your heating system work harder.

Fixing your roof before winter means:

• Better energy efficiency
• Lower heating bills
• A warmer, more comfortable home

It’s an investment that can start saving you money straight away.

4. Protect Your Home’s Structure

Leaks don’t just damage ceilings—they can affect your walls, electrics, and even the structural integrity of your home. In older or listed properties, water ingress can damage original timbers or plaster, which are costly to restore.

A well-maintained roof protects:

• Internal ceilings and plasterwork
• Loft insulation and roof timbers
• Masonry and brickwork

5. Get Peace of Mind for the Season Ahead

Knowing your roof is in good condition lets you enjoy winter without worrying about every gust of wind or heavy downpour. You’ll also know you’re keeping your property’s value intact—especially important if you’re thinking of selling in the future.

Our Winter-Ready Roofing Service

At South Hams Roofing Services, we offer:

• Roof inspections and surveys (including drone surveys)
• Tile and slate repairs
• Lead flashing replacement and repairs
• Gutter clearing and maintenance
• Flat roof and pitched roof repairs
• Work on listed and heritage buildings

We operate across the South Hams and the wider Devon area, helping homeowners prepare for whatever winter brings.

Don’t wait for the first winter storm to find out your roof has a problem.

Call South Hams Roofing Services on 01803 900122 or visit www.southhamsroofingservices.co.uk to book your pre-winter roof inspection.

At South Hams Roofing Services, we specialise in sensitive, experienced roofing solutions for listed and heritage properties across South Hams and beyond. Whether your roof needs maintenance, partial restoration, or a complete replacement, here’s what you need to know.

Why Listed and Heritage Buildings Need Specialist Roofing

Working on a heritage or listed building isn’t the same as working on a modern home. These properties often feature:

• Original materials (like natural slate, clay tiles, or lead)
• Traditional construction methods
• Unique architectural features (chimneys, valleys, decorative ridge tiles)

Incorrect roofing work can not only damage the building’s structure—it can also breach planning regulations and historic preservation laws.

That’s why you need a team experienced in traditional roofing techniques, conservation standards, and the use of heritage-approved materials.

We Understand the Legal Requirements

Listed buildings are protected under UK law. Any work that might affect the property’s character—including the roof—usually requires Listed Building Consent.

We’ll work with you to:

• Understand the listing status and local authority requirements
• Provide detailed surveys and photographic evidence for planning teams
• Use historically accurate materials and methods
• Liaise with conservation officers where needed

Our goal is to protect your building’s history while ensuring it remains safe, functional, and weatherproof for the future.

Roofing Materials That Match and Last

We source and work with materials that are sympathetic to the age and style of your property, including:

• Natural slate: Durable, traditional, and widely used in Devon
• Handmade clay tiles: Perfect for cottages and period homes
• Leadwork: Including traditional lead welding and decorative flashings
• Lime mortars and stonework: Where needed for integration with chimney stacks or rooflines

Where original materials can be salvaged, we carefully remove and reuse them. This not only preserves the building’s integrity but also helps meet conservation regulations.

Skilled Craftsmanship & Traditional Techniques

Modern roofing techniques don’t always apply to older buildings. We pride ourselves on using time-tested methods, including:

• Lead bossing and welding
• Lime mortaring and stone tiling
• Slating with copper or stainless steel nails
• Careful ridge re-pointing and valley lead fitting

These approaches ensure your roof is both historically accurate and watertight.

We Take Care of the Whole Project

Heritage roof work often requires careful coordination between builders, conservation officers, architects, and planning departments. We handle:

• Full project planning and management
• Scaffold arrangements and site safety
• Drone surveys for non-invasive inspections
• Building control liaison if required
• Professional, respectful site conduct

You can trust us to respect your home and its heritage throughout the process.

Your Local Heritage Roofing Experts in Devon

From Grade II-listed cottages to historic estate buildings, we’ve worked on heritage roofs across Totnes, Dartmouth, Kingsbridge, and the wider South Hams.

Call South Hams Roofing Services on 01803 900122 or visit www.southhamsroofingservices.co.uk to arrange a site visit or get expert advice about your listed building.

At South Hams Roofing Services, we use drone technology to inspect roofs across Devon—delivering high-resolution images and detailed reports without disrupting your property. Whether it’s a residential home or a large commercial building, drone surveys offer a fast, safe, and accurate way to assess roof conditions.

Here’s why more homeowners and property managers are choosing drones.

1. Safe and Non-Invasive

Climbing onto a roof always carries risk. Drone surveys eliminate the need for ladders, scaffolding, or physically walking on your roof—especially important if your roof is steep, fragile, or hard to access.

We can safely inspect:

• Listed buildings
• Outbuildings and barns
• Flat and pitched roofs
• High or multi-storey properties

Drones keep both your home and our team safe, while still giving us a detailed view.

2. High-Quality Imagery and Video

Our drone equipment captures ultra-clear aerial photos and video, allowing us to spot cracked tiles, damaged flashing, blocked gutters, and signs of water ingress.

These visuals are useful for:

• Homeowners who want proof of damage
• Insurance reports and claims
• Estate agents or property buyers
• Maintenance planning for landlords

We provide all images and footage, so you can see the condition of your roof for yourself.

3. Fast Turnaround

Drone surveys are quick to arrange and complete, often taking under an hour depending on the size of the property. There’s no need to wait for scaffolding to go up or take time off for lengthy site visits.

This speed is especially helpful for:

• Emergency roof assessments after storms
• Pre-purchase property inspections
• Planning repairs before winter sets in

You get your report fast—so you can make informed decisions without delay.

4. Cost-Effective Solution

Drone surveys are usually cheaper than traditional access methods, especially when you factor in the cost of scaffolding, permits, and additional labour.

By detecting issues early, a drone survey can also prevent expensive repair bills down the line. Spotting a missing tile or lead flashing failure now could save you thousands in water damage repairs later.

5. Ideal for Listed and Historic Buildings

In Devon, many properties—especially in areas like Totnes, Dartmouth, and Kingsbridge—are listed or historically significant. Drone surveys allow us to inspect these roofs without disturbing delicate features or requiring heritage approvals for access.

We understand the care and compliance these properties require—and drones make it easier to stay within those limits while still maintaining your roof properly.

Drone Surveys by South Hams Roofing Services

Our in-house drone roof survey service is available across Devon. We’re fully insured and operate within all CAA safety guidelines.

When you book with us, you’ll receive:

• A high-resolution photo/video package

• Optional follow-up repairs or replacement services

From minor maintenance to full project planning, we offer a complete solution.

Book Your Survey Today

If you’re unsure about the condition of your roof—or just want peace of mind—a drone survey is the smart choice.

Whether it’s a slipped tile, a minor leak, or ageing lead work, addressing roof problems early can save you thousands in the long run. Here’s why you shouldn’t ignore the signs.

Minor Damage Can Quickly Escalate

That tiny drip or cracked tile might seem harmless now, but over time it can lead to:

• Rotting roof timbers

• Damaged insulation

• Damp and mould inside your home

• Structural issues

What starts as a simple repair can quickly become a full roof replacement if left too long. Acting early means smaller repair costs and less disruption.

Water Always Finds a Way In

Once water gets under your roofing materials—whether slates, tiles, or flat roofing—it doesn’t stop. Moisture can spread behind walls, into ceilings, and even into your electrics.

Early signs of water ingress include:

• Brown ceiling patches

• Bubbling paint or plaster

• A musty smell in loft spaces

• Moss growth or staining on exterior walls

If you’ve noticed any of these, it’s time to get it checked.

Devon Weather Makes Roofs Vulnerable

Living in the South West, we’re no strangers to wind, rain, and storms. Sudden gusts can lift loose slates, and driving rain can test even the smallest weakness in your roof.

That’s why regular checks and swift action are essential—especially before and after harsh weather. Waiting could make things worse, faster.

Delays Can Void Insurance or Cause Rejection of Claims

Many home insurance policies require you to maintain your roof properly. If you ignore a known issue and it leads to further damage, insurers may reject your claim.

Booking a professional inspection and acting quickly not only protects your home—it also protects your policy.

Protect Your Home’s Value

If you’re thinking of selling in the future, roof issues can knock thousands off your asking price or delay your sale entirely. A roof in poor condition is a major red flag for buyers.

On the other hand, a well-maintained roof adds curb appeal, peace of mind, and long-term value.

Whether you’re planning a loft conversion or just want to brighten up a dark room, here’s why a roof window might be exactly what your home needs.

More Natural Light

One of the biggest advantages of roof windows is the dramatic increase in natural light. Unlike standard vertical windows, roof windows capture daylight from above, meaning your space stays brighter for longer – even on cloudy days.

Natural light has been proven to improve mood, productivity, and even sleep. Whether you’re creating a cosy loft bedroom or a bright home office, a roof window helps create a space you want to spend time in.

Improved Ventilation

Modern roof windows are designed to open easily, helping to circulate fresh air throughout your home. This is especially useful in kitchens, bathrooms, and lofts, where trapped heat and moisture can become a problem.

Improved ventilation not only keeps your home more comfortable – it also helps prevent condensation, mold, and damp.

Energy Efficiency

High-quality roof windows are now available with thermal glazing, which helps retain heat in winter and reflect solar gain in summer. This can reduce your reliance on artificial lighting and heating, cutting your energy bills over time.

You’ll also enjoy better insulation and soundproofing – especially important if you live near a road or in a busy area.

Adds Value to Your Home

Adding a roofing window is a relatively low-cost way to add value and appeal to your property. A bright, well-ventilated loft or extension is much more attractive to buyers and can boost your home’s resale value.

If you’re planning to convert your loft into a bedroom or office, installing a roof window is essential to meet building regulations and to make the space fully useable.

 Stylish and Modern

Roof windows give any home a modern, stylish look – both inside and out. Whether you’re going for a contemporary design or preserving the charm of a period property, we can help you choose a roof window that complements your home.

Options include:

• Centre-pivot and top-hung opening windows
• Velux brand roof windows
• Manual or remote-controlled operation
• Custom blinds and finishes

Installed by Experts in Devon

At South Hams Roofing Services, we install roof windows across Devon, including in Totnes, Kingsbridge, Dartmouth and the surrounding areas. Whether it’s a new installation or adding one during roof works, our experienced team will:

• Ensure a watertight, professional fit

• Work on both pitched and flat roofs
