Tiverton’s valley position and elevated surroundings make it a focal point for Atlantic weather funnelled up the Exe Valley. When south-westerlies hit Tiverton in force, ridge tiles shift and flashings are tested. We provide 24/7 emergency roofing cover across Tiverton and Mid Devon. Call 01392 759 295.
Tiverton experiences some of the most unpredictable weather in Devon given its position at the head of the Exe Valley. Atlantic weather systems funnel south-west to north-east up the valley with gusts that can exceed those recorded on the coast. We respond to all storm-related roof emergencies across Tiverton and EX16 within hours. Call 01392 759 295 any time.
The mix of Georgian, Victorian and post-war housing in Tiverton means storm damage takes different forms across the town. Ridge tiles on Victorian terraces are most vulnerable to lime mortar failure. Concrete interlocking tiles on the Exe Vale and Westexe estates are susceptible to nail-related slippage after wind events. We assess each situation individually and make your property safe the same day.
The most common storm call types we receive from Tiverton reflect the town’s valley position and mixed housing stock. Ridge tile loss from Victorian terraces after south-westerly gales is the single most frequent call — lime mortar bedding on 100-year-old ridges has often been weakened progressively before the storm event that dislodges the tile. Nail-sick tile slippage on Exe Vale and Westexe estate roofs during sustained wind is the second most common. Lead flashing opening at chimney abutments is the third. Each requires a different emergency response, and our vehicles are stocked for all three.
We cover Tiverton and the surrounding Devon area. Call 01392 759 295 for a free, no-obligation quote or to book an emergency call-out.
