Prompt, Practical Roof Repairs

Roof problems can quickly worsen in exposed coastal and inland weather, which is why prompt action matters. Across Devon, Cornwall and Plymouth, we carry out repairs with attention to both the visible issue and the surrounding roof condition — helping homeowners deal with leaks, weather damage and ageing materials before they lead to more costly structural problems.

Whether the problem is minor or more extensive, we approach each repair with practical advice, careful assessment, and workmanship designed to restore protection and prevent further deterioration. Our focus is on providing the most appropriate solution for your roof, with clear guidance on whether a repair, wider remedial work, or full replacement is the best long-term option.

Discuss Your Repair

Common Roof Defects

Six of the most common slate-roof problems we get called out to fix across Devon & Cornwall. The earlier they're spotted, the cheaper the fix — and the less likely you are to wake up to water on the bedroom ceiling.

Slate roof showing common defects — annotated diagram illustrating where to spot them Spot the defects 1 2 3 4 5 6
1
Missing SlateHigh leak risk

A gap exposing the felt or batten — water gets in fast. Needs urgent attention before the underlay fails.

2
Slipped SlateHigh leak risk

Slate has dropped out of position. Often visible from the ground. A quick fix if caught early — much bigger problem if ignored.

3
Cracked SlateHigh leak risk

A full crack across the slate lets water through to the timbers below. Should be replaced rather than patched.

4
Vertical CrackMinor leak risk

A split running down the slate. Often manageable for a season, but it's a flag to watch and replace before winter.

5
Fine CrackLow risk

Hairline crack — usually cosmetic and not letting water through, but worth noting at the next inspection.

6
Corner CrackVery low risk

Damage to a slate corner with no impact on water-tightness. Cosmetic only — replace if visible from the front of the property.

Pitched Roofs for New Builds & Renovations

KM 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.

  • New pitched roof construction for homes, extensions and renovation projects
  • Slate and tile pitched roofing systems
  • Full re-roofing and replacement pitched roofs
  • Replacement battens, underlay, joists and rafters where required

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.

Roofing Questions, Answered

Simple guidance to common questions. We're always happy to assess your property and offer advice based on your specific roof.

General Questions

Do you offer free quotes?

Yes. KM Building & Roofing Ltd offers free, no-obligation quotations and straightforward advice so you can understand the work required before making a decision.

How do I know whether I need a repair or a replacement?

That depends on the age of the roof, the extent of the damage, and whether problems keep returning. We can inspect the roof and provide practical advice on whether a repair or full replacement is the better long-term choice.

What roofing services do you provide?

We offer a broad range of roofing services including new roofs, re-roofs, roof repairs, flat roofs, slate and tile roofing, pitched roofs, chimney work, leadwork, fascias, soffits and guttering.

Which areas do you cover?

KM Building & Roofing Ltd covers Devon and Cornwall in full — including Plymouth, Tavistock, Okehampton, Ivybridge, Yelverton and the South Hams in Devon, and Saltash, Launceston, Liskeard, Looe, St Austell, Bodmin, Wadebridge, Bude, Newquay, Truro, Falmouth, Helston, Camborne, Redruth, Hayle, St Ives and Penzance in Cornwall.

Can you help with both small repairs and larger projects?

Yes. We can help with targeted repairs, ongoing maintenance issues, and larger projects such as full roof replacements, flat roof installations and pitched roof construction.

New Roofs

How do I know if I need a new roof instead of a repair?

Common signs include recurring leaks, slipped or broken tiles, sagging areas, ageing materials and repeated repair costs. If the roof structure or covering is reaching the end of its life, a full replacement can often provide better long-term value than ongoing patch repairs.

What types of new roofs do you install?

We can advise on suitable options for pitched roofs, including slate roofing and tile roofing, as well as roofing for garages, extensions and other domestic projects. The most suitable system will depend on your property, budget and the look you want to achieve.

How much does a new roof cost?

The cost depends on the size of the property, the roof design, the materials chosen, access requirements and whether structural repairs are needed. We offer free quotations so you can get a clear price based on your specific project.

Roof Repairs

Can a small roof leak become a bigger problem?

Yes. Even a small leak can lead to damp, damaged insulation, stained ceilings and timber problems if it is left untreated. Early repairs are usually the most cost-effective way to prevent more extensive damage.

Do you only carry out major roof repairs?

No. We can help with both minor roofing issues and more extensive remedial work, including slipped tiles, leadwork problems, ridge repairs and storm-related damage.

Flat Roofs

What types of flat roofs do you work on?

We can advise on a range of flat roofing solutions, including felt and fibreglass systems, depending on the property, budget and expected performance.

How long should a flat roof last?

The lifespan depends on the system used, the quality of installation and how well the roof has been maintained. A professionally installed flat roof can provide many years of reliable performance.

Can a leaking flat roof be repaired?

In many cases, yes. If the issue is localised, a repair may be the right choice, but if the roof is ageing or failing in several areas, replacement may offer better long-term value.

Slate & Tile

Which is better for my property, slate or tile?

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.

Can you match existing slates or tiles for repairs?

We always aim to recommend suitable materials that work with the existing roof and preserve the appearance of the property as closely as possible.

Are slate and tile roofs a good option for Devon & Cornwall properties?

Yes. Slate and tile roofing remains a popular choice because it combines durability, weather resistance and a traditional appearance that suits many homes across Devon and Cornwall.

Roofline (Fascias, Soffits & Guttering)

Why are fascias, soffits and guttering important?

They help protect the roof edge, support drainage and reduce the risk of water damage around the property. They also contribute to the overall appearance of the home.

Can damaged guttering cause wider property issues?

Yes. Poorly performing guttering can lead to overflowing water, staining, damp problems and unnecessary wear around walls and roofline areas if not dealt with promptly.

Do you replace roofline elements as part of wider roofing work?

Yes. Fascias, soffits and guttering can often be completed as part of larger roof replacement or roof repair projects where required.

Pitched Roofs

What is the advantage of a pitched roof?

A pitched roof offers strong weather protection, effective water run-off and a classic appearance that suits many Devon and Cornwall properties — a practical long-term roofing choice, especially in coastal and exposed areas.

Can pitched roof construction be included in extension projects?

Yes. Pitched roofs are commonly used for extensions, renovations, garages and new-build work, and can be designed to suit both the property and the chosen roofing material.

Do you advise on the best pitched roof finish?

Yes. We can recommend suitable slate and tile finishes based on the style of the property, your budget and the level of durability you want from the completed roof.
