Complete Roofing Services Across Plymouth and South Devon
Tile Top Roofing Specialists LTD provides dependable roof repairs, complete re-roofing, flat roofing, and chimney maintenance across Plymouth and surrounding areas within 15 miles. Based locally, we work directly with homeowners, landlords, and commercial property managers dealing with active leaks, wind-damaged slates, and aging coverings. Our core work includes pitched slate and interlocking tile installations, GRP and EPDM flat roof systems, chimney repointing, lead flashing renewals, uPVC roofline replacements, and high-definition drone roof surveys.
Roofing in the South West demands methods that hold up to driving Atlantic rain and coastal salt air. We strip failing coverings systematically in workable sections so your property stays watertight throughout the job. Whether replacing slipped Delabole slates on a Victorian terrace in Stoke or re-tiling a 1960s semi-detached home in Plymstock, we fit vapour-permeable underlays, treated 25x50mm counter battens, and mechanical dry-fix ridge systems that eliminate cracking mortar.
When storm damage or severe weather causes water to pour through ceilings, we operate a 24/7 emergency response to make the building watertight and prevent secondary damage to structural timbers and plasterwork.
Direct Trade Advice Without Sales Pressure
When you contact us about a roofing problem, you speak directly with tradespeople who get up on the roof ladders and scaffolds to inspect the issue firsthand. We do not employ commissioned salespeople or rely on vague guesswork from the ground. We identify where water is actually finding its way in, examine rafter condition and batten integrity, and explain clearly what needs doing to cure the leak permanently.
Our written quotes outline exact materials, access equipment, and labour requirements with no hidden extras added halfway through the job. We protect driveways with heavy-duty boards before staging materials or setting up skips, run magnetic sweeps across your lawns and pathways every evening to clear loose fixings, and leave your property tidy at the end of every working day.

Thirty Years of Hands-On Roofing Experience
With 30 years of continuous trade experience across Devon and Cornwall, we understand how local roof structures perform under harsh coastal exposure. We are fully covered by Public Liability Insurance and treat every roof as a complete structural system rather than just a cosmetic surface. That means inspecting rafter feet for rot, checking timber falls, and ensuring adequate ventilation to stop condensation building up inside the roof void.
Our trade background covers traditional natural slate work, modern interlocking concrete pantiles, and seamless flat roof membranes. We carry out all structural timber sistering, lead dressing, and roofline repairs in-house, ensuring every component from the ridge tile down to the gutter bracket is properly fixed to withstand gale-force winds.

01752 741673Answers to common questions about our Roof Repair & New Roofs
How do you quote for chimney repointing and roof repairs in Plymouth?
We come out to inspect the stack and the surrounding roof coverings directly, using a drone if high-level access is restricted from the ground. We check for perished mortar joints, loose flaunching around the pots, and split lead flashings before sending you a clear, written quotation detailing the required work. You will know exactly what labour and materials are involved before any work begins.
What areas do you cover from your Plymouth base?
We work within a 40-mile radius of Plymouth, covering South Devon, the South Hams, West Devon, and East Cornwall. That includes regular work out along the A38 corridor to Ivybridge and Totnes, north to Tavistock and Yelverton, and across the Tamar into Saltash and Liskeard.
How do you protect my property while working on the roof?
We use ladder standoff brackets to keep weight off your guttering and lay heavy-duty ground sheets to catch raked-out mortar and debris. Hard boards protect your patio slabs or tarmac driveways from scaffold feet and falling grit. At the end of every working day, we sweep down the area and run a magnetic roller across lawns and paths to collect stray nails and wire.
What actually happens during a chimney stack repointing job?
We grind or chisel out the failed, weather-scoured mortar by hand to a solid depth of at least 15 to 20mm rather than simply skimming the face. We replace any frost-damaged bricks, repoint the joints flush using a weather-resistant mix suited to Plymouth's coastal rain, and rebuild cracked top flaunching to keep the chimney pots solid. While we are up there, we inspect the lead aprons and step flashings to ensure no water can track behind the brickwork.
What happens if you find hidden roof rot around the chimney base?
Water running down an unpointed chimney stack often rots the neighbouring rafter timbers, battens, and underlay over several winters. If we strip back the lead flashings and uncover rotted timber or broken slates, we pause and show you clear photos of the damage immediately. We explain the structural fix required, detail any extra materials needed, and get your sign-off before we proceed.
Do you handle emergency roof leaks and storm damage?
We provide a 24/7 emergency call-out service to make properties watertight after severe Atlantic gales and sudden water ingress. Our priority on an emergency visit is stopping the leak immediately, whether that means securing blown lead, replacing missing slates, or weatherproofing an exposed chimney breast. Once your living space is protected, we arrange to return during normal working hours to carry out permanent repairs.
