One of exeter's most affluent victorian suburbs with large-format roofscapes and high chimney density. The most frequent repair calls we receive from St Leonards fall into three categories: isolated tile or slate failure (nail sickness on concrete tile or isolated slate slippage on period stock); lead flashing failure at chimney stacks and valley junctions; and ridge or hip mortar failure where the bedding has dried and cracked after years of Devon thermal cycling. Each is diagnosed at the free survey stage.
In St Leonards, elevated position above the exe, south-west exposure on principal faces. This directly affects the repair priority for moss-related debris accumulation in valleys and the frequency of gutter-related rafter foot damage. We account for the local climate conditions in every repair recommendation we make in St Leonards.
The honest answer to repair vs replace depends on the specific condition of the roof. For St Leonards’s victorian and edwardian housing, a free condition survey identifies whether isolated repairs will provide long-term value or whether the roof is approaching the point where planned replacement is more economic. We give a clear written recommendation either way, with no incentive toward the more expensive option.
Free survey — no call-out fee, no obligation.
