Coverings and weatherproof junctions considered together
Two bases support travel
Our Exeter base and Honiton unit support planned local attendance.
Specialist lead skills
We carry out flashing repairs and lead welding where suitable.
Older roofs assessed fully
We compare isolated repairs with complete renewal when wear is spread.
Experienced roof work for older coverings and details
We reach domestic properties in Axminster from our Exeter base, with support from our operational unit in Honiton. Planned attendance lets us inspect the covering, roof junctions and the practical access around your home before defining the job. Older slate roofs can combine worn coverings with failed lead at chimneys, valleys or walls. Treating only one visible defect may leave a connected weakness untouched. We assess how these elements meet, then explain whether slate repairs, lead welding and flashing work or complete reroofing provide the most suitable response.
Access planned for detailed repairs and renewals
Lead details need room for careful preparation, while a complete re-roof requires a working platform across the relevant elevations. We can provide scaffold access around the actual task, reducing the need to bring in a separate company before roofing starts. For a project in Axminster, we prepare a free quotation after considering roof height, material choice, existing deterioration and site access. Where renewal is required, we coordinate stripping, preparation, slating or tiling and lead finishing as one ordered programme, followed by final checks.
Frequently asked questions
Can we inspect slate and leadwork during one visit?
Yes. These materials often meet at valleys, chimneys and wall junctions, so assessing them together helps identify how water is getting in and which part of the detail has failed.
Do Axminster reroofing projects include scaffold planning?
They can. We assess the elevations and working heights required, then include suitable scaffold provision within the project quote when needed. Erection and roof work can then follow one programme.
When is lead welding suitable for a flashing repair?
Suitability depends on the lead's condition, position and the reason it failed. We inspect the detail before deciding whether a welded repair or replacement section will provide the sounder result.
