Welsh slate roofing in Pinhoe covers both conservation of original Victorian material and upgrade re-roofing on properties moving from concrete tile to slate. We carry out nail condition surveys, re-nailing, re-slating and full slate re-roofs across Pinhoe with correct matching and stainless fixings throughout. Free survey. Call 01392 759 295.
Pinhoe has two distinct slate contexts: the older village properties near the church that carry original Welsh slate, and occasional slate re-roofing on estate properties where the owner has upgraded from concrete tile. The older village stock near Church Hill carries original material that requires the same conservation approach as Exeter’s Victorian suburbs — condition survey, nail assessment, re-nailing where needed rather than reflexive re-slating.
For estate properties in Pinhoe that are being re-roofed and where the owner wishes to upgrade to Welsh slate from concrete tile, we specify new Penrhyn or Blue Bangor slate on stainless ring-shank nails with breathable underlay throughout. This provides a 100+ year covering on a property that might otherwise be re-roofed again in concrete tile within 40 years.
Welsh slate sourcing matters for Pinhoe work. We maintain supply relationships for both reclaimed material (correct for matching on period properties) and new-quarried Penrhyn and Blue Bangor slate (correct for full re-slating where matching to existing is not required). We advise on the appropriate source at every Pinhoe survey.

Yes — we source reclaimed and quarried Welsh slate matched to the original quarry region.
Depends on the extent of nail sickness. We survey and give an honest recommendation. Re-nailing is significantly cheaper where it is appropriate.
150–200+ years correctly maintained. Devon’s climate does not affect the slate itself — only the fixings, battens and mortar require periodic attention.
Stainless ring-shank nails as standard. Both provide indefinite corrosion resistance in Devon’s climate.
Like-for-like replacement is permitted development. Material changes in conservation areas require prior notification. We advise at survey.
