Learn more →Kingsteignton’s rapid post-war expansion created large residential areas with concrete interlocking tile roofs on standardised semi-detached and detached properties. The town’s older core carries a small amount of clay tile and slate on pre-war properties, but the dominant roofing challenge here is managing ageing concrete tile on 1960s–80s stock.
The town’s position at the edge of the Teign Valley gives it a sheltered character for most of the year, but the open agricultural land to the north and east provides a corridor for cold north-easterly winds in winter. These north-easterlies are the principal source of wind-lifted tiles in Kingsteignton, particularly on properties with north-east facing slopes.
Nail sickness is the predominant roofing issue across Kingsteignton’s post-war estates. Iron fixings on concrete tiles installed in the 1960s–80s are now corroding, causing tiles to slip progressively. We survey Kingsteignton properties for nail sickness frequency and advise honestly on whether targeted repair or a planned re-roof is the better long-term approach.

The Teign Valley's high water table and proximity to the river means elevated ambient humidity in the lower-lying parts of Kingsteignton. This accelerates moss growth on north-facing slopes and increases moisture cycling through ridge mortar.
