Learn more →Honiton’s High Street carries one of the finest runs of Georgian architecture in Devon, with clay plain tile and Welsh slate roofs that have stood for 200–250 years. Many properties here are listed and several have conservation area constraints on materials. The terraced housing behind the High Street and on the surrounding lanes is a mix of Victorian slate and Edwardian clay tile.
Honiton sits at the junction of the Otter and Gissage valleys, exposed to south-westerly weather rolling in across the East Devon hills. The surrounding countryside — higher elevation than the coastal plain — means wind exposure on ridge lines and exposed hip ends. Autumn and winter rain totals in EX14 are significantly above the Devon average.
Mortar repointing on Georgian clay plain tile roofs is a regular job on Honiton High Street. Welsh slate nail sickness on Victorian residential terraces. Lead flashing failure at chimney abutments on period properties. Ridge tile loss from wind exposure on elevated properties on the surrounding hills.
