February 2025 started with a great view of the River Dart as we undertook a Slate Roof Repair and Lead Welding job in Totnes. These are the steps we took to complete this project:

1. To start, we fitted scaffolding to the three sides of the building, which resulted in seven lifts up, giving a great view of the River Dart.
2. We then supplied and fitted a Dry Ridge Roofing System which included the removal of the old ridge system, including a good clean to the tops of the slate before finally, fitting the new system in place.
3. Next, we replaced all of the slipped and damaged slate which was on the roof.
4. Discovering water ingress on one side of the roof, we quickly and efficiently removed the rotten timbers and stripped the roof back to add new roofing felt and timber before refitting the slates.
5. Finally, we discovered that one of the weather exposed doors had also been letting water in, so, we removed the door, the frame and the side timber cladding. We then renewed the rotten structural timbers and fitted a new lead tray, which was welded onsite by our in-house lead specialist. We then refitted the door along with new timber cladding and then painted the timber.

The problems with this roof were identified with our drone at no extra cost to the property owner, why not give us a call or a message today and discuss with us your roofing project!
