Not sure which yours is? Describe the job and we will tell you
Full roof replacement needs a roofing contractor, but most roofing problems are smaller - a slipped tile, damaged flashing, blocked gutters, loose ridge tiles. These smaller repairs are what we do. We'll safely access your roof, assess the problem, and fix it properly. We're honest about what we can handle and when you need a specialist roofer.
Why Choose Hembury Contracting?

Common Questions About Roofing
What if the leak only happens in heavy rain?
That's common - light rain doesn't get driven into the small gaps where water's entering. I'll still find it. The damage and water stains tell the story even when it's dry outside.
How do I know if my soffits need replacing?
Soft, rotten wood when you press it, peeling paint that won't stay on, gaps where birds are getting in, or visible daylight through holes. On older houses, if they're original timber, they're probably due for replacement after 30-40 years.
Why do I need a chimney cap if I don't use the fireplace?
Rain coming down the chimney can soak the chimney breast, cause damp patches inside, and ruin your decorating. Birds love nesting in unused chimneys too. A cap stops all that while still letting the chimney breathe.
Can you fit a cap on a chimney that's been partially taken down?
Yes - if the stack's been reduced to just above roof level, we can cap it with a flat capping stone or formed lead cover. Common on older Exeter properties where chimneys have been lowered.
What actually is a bargeboard?
It's the board that runs along the gable end of your roof - the triangular bit at the side of the house. It protects the ends of your roof timbers and looks neat. When it rots, water starts getting into the roof structure itself.
Do you charge for investigation even if I don't use you for the repair?
Yes - I'm spending time safely accessing your roof and using my knowledge to find the problem. But I'll give you an honest assessment even if the repair's beyond what I do. You'll know exactly what needs doing.
