Learn more →Tiverton’s wealth from the woollen trade left a legacy of substantial Georgian and early Victorian properties in the town centre — St Peter Street and Gold Street carry period stock with clay plain tile and natural slate roofs requiring lime mortar and heritage materials. The mill-worker terraces of the 19th century are Welsh slate throughout.
Tiverton’s 20th-century expansion created large residential areas including the Exe Vale and Westexe estates, predominantly concrete interlocking tile. The town’s valley position means it receives relatively high rainfall and the surrounding hills direct wind funnelling across exposed ridge lines.
Concrete tile nail sickness is widespread on Tiverton’s Exe Vale and Westexe estates. Lead valley failure on Victorian mill terraces is a repeat call. Georgian town centre properties often have plain clay tile roofs requiring mortar repointing with compatible lime-based mixes. Moss growth is heavy across the valley floor properties.
