Mixed residential and converted commercial near the station — victorian and early 20th century Bonhay Road and surrounding streets. Victorian residential stock with welsh slate; converted commercial buildings may have had slate replaced with non-matching tile in previous maintenance periods.
St Davids’s specific characteristics create distinct slate roofing requirements. The victorian and early 20th century housing stock in St Davids presents conditions that differ from Exeter’s post-war suburbs, and the correct specification for each job reflects the age, construction method and local exposure of the property.

The choice between stainless steel and copper nails for Welsh slate in St Davids is practical rather than significant. Both provide effectively indefinite corrosion resistance in Devon’s climate, both are compatible with Welsh slate, and both will outlast the slate itself. Stainless ring-shank nails are our standard specification for St Davids slate work: the ring-shank profile provides 60–70% greater pull-out resistance than smooth-shank nails under the wind suction loads that St Davids’s roof geometry and exposure produce. Copper clout nails are an acceptable alternative for conservation area work where copper is the historically correct specification. Galvanised steel nails are not acceptable for any St Davids slate installation — they provide 30–40 years of corrosion resistance at most, creating the nail sickness that is the primary driver of re-roofing demand across St Davids’s Victorian stock today.
