Roof repairs in Dawlish
Leaks, slipped slates and tiles, lead flashings and chimney repairs across Dawlish, Dawlish Warren, Holcombe and Starcross.
Roof repairs in Dawlish and along the coast
Ayre Roofing repair leaking and storm-damaged roofs across Dawlish, Dawlish Warren, Holcombe and Starcross, from our base in Chudleigh about ten miles away. Call Chris on 07803 365 251; depending on scheduling and materials, we may be able to fix it the same day.
On the coast, roofs take more of a beating. A gale off the sea lifts slates and tiles, drives rain under flashings and finds every crack in an old chimney. We find where the water is really coming in, which is often not where it shows inside, and fix the cause.
Remedial work carries a 1-year guarantee, and larger projects our minimum 5-year guarantee.

Slate and tile repairs in Dawlish
The older terraces in the centre of Dawlish are mostly natural slate, and on a roof that's been facing salt and wind for over a century the nails usually go before the slates do. We refix slipped slates with hooks or straps and match replacements, using reclaimed slate where new would stand out. On tiled roofs we replace cracked tiles and sort out loose ridges and verges. See slate and tile repairs.
Leadwork and chimney repairs in Dawlish
Dawlish has a lot of tall chimneys and a lot of lead, and both work hard in coastal weather. We renew cracked or short lead flashings and valleys, replace cement fillets that have cracked away with proper lead, and repoint and repair stacks. See lead work and chimney repairs.

Roof repairs in Dawlish: common questions
Can you get to Dawlish quickly for a leak?
We're about ten miles away in Chudleigh. Call and we'll tell you honestly how soon we can be there, and make it safe first if needed.
Why does my roof only leak in a storm?
Wind-driven rain gets in where normal rain can't: under a short lap, a lifted flashing or a loose slate. Finding that spot is the job, and we check the lead and joins as well as the slates.
Does salt air shorten the life of a roof?
It speeds up corrosion of nails and some metal fixings, which is one reason slates slip on older coastal roofs. We use fixings suited to the exposure.
Will insurance pay for storm damage?
Most buildings policies cover sudden storm damage but not wear and tear. We can give you a written report and quote.
