A gap exposing the felt or batten — water gets in fast. Needs urgent attention before the underlay fails.
Slate has dropped out of position. Often visible from the ground. A quick fix if caught early — much bigger problem if ignored.
A full crack across the slate lets water through to the timbers below. Should be replaced rather than patched.
A split running down the slate. Often manageable for a season, but it's a flag to watch and replace before winter.
Hairline crack — usually cosmetic and not letting water through, but worth noting at the next inspection.
Damage to a slate corner with no impact on water-tightness. Cosmetic only — replace if visible from the front of the property.

From replacement tiles to complete slate and tile roof installations, we aim to deliver a finish that is attractive, durable and built for lasting weather protection.

Talk About Your RoofKM Building & Roofing Ltd provides pitched roof construction across Devon and Cornwall for new builds, extensions, renovations and full roof replacement projects. We build durable, weather-resistant pitched roofs designed to suit the property, the selected materials and the demands of the local environment.
A pitched roof is a strong long-term choice for properties throughout the South West because it combines dependable weather protection with a classic, attractive appearance. Its sloping design helps rainwater drain away efficiently — especially important in coastal and exposed areas where roofs need to cope with driving rain and changing weather.
As part of our wider roofing services, KM Building & Roofing Ltd installs and replaces fascias, soffits and guttering for properties across Devon and Cornwall. These roofline elements are important for protecting your home from water damage, supporting effective drainage and maintaining a smart, well-finished appearance around the roof edge.
Well-maintained fascias, soffits and guttering channel rainwater away from your property and reduce the risk of damp, staining and water ingress around the roofline. We install and replace roofline components with a focus on secure fitting, clean appearance and long-term reliability.

The right choice depends on the style of the property, your budget and the appearance you want to achieve. We can advise on suitable materials based on both practical performance and visual finish.
We always aim to recommend suitable materials that work with the existing roof and preserve the appearance of the property as closely as possible.
