Learn more →Pinhoe’s 1960s and 70s development used concrete interlocking tiles throughout — a material that was modern at the time but now presents a consistent maintenance challenge. Iron nail fixings from this era are corroding across the estate housing, and tile slippage is now a common sight. The village core has older stone and Victorian properties but these are a minority of Pinhoe’s housing stock.
Pinhoe sits on a plateau above the Exe Valley, slightly more exposed than Exeter’s city streets. Wind-lifted tiles after south-westerly gales are regular in Pinhoe, particularly on west-facing roof slopes. The relatively open character of the suburb gives south-westerly weather a clear approach across the housing.
Nail sickness on concrete interlocking tile is the predominant roofing issue across Pinhoe. When the pattern of slipping tiles is consistent across a roof plane — rather than isolated individual failures — the underlying cause is almost always nail corrosion rather than impact damage. We survey and advise on repair vs replacement honestly, including the full cost comparison over a 10-year horizon.

“Wind-lifted tiles on our west-facing slope after a January gale. Called next morning, they were there by lunchtime. Professional.”
