The firm
We re-roof properly, in one go, with leadwork that outlives the warranty.
Ridgemark is a small, fully-employed crew of slaters, tilers, leadworkers and scaffolders led by Tom and Maeve Brennan. We don't subcontract the high-risk work, we don't disappear when the snag list lands, and we don't quote what we can't honour. Every project gets one survey, one fixed quote, and a sealed envelope of removed-waste tonnage on handover day.

Word of mouth
Half our work walks in through a friend.
Ridgemark stripped a two-hundred-year-old Welsh slate roof and put it back in seven weeks. Three other firms quoted fourteen. We've already booked them for the chimney.
We called Ridgemark for a leak. Tom came out the same day, fixed the valley, didn't charge until we had a full quote for the rest. Five months later they did the lot.
I've had three roofers in twenty years. These are the first who didn't try to sell me work the survey didn't need. The lead detail on the dormer is photo-grade.

Frequently asked
Questions we field on every first call.
Q/01 How much does a full re-roof cost in Devon?
Most of our re-roofs land between £9,500 and £28,000. A 100 m² Welsh slate strip-and-relay on a semi sits around £14k; a Grade II Listed barn with chimney leadwork and reclaimed slate can be £30k+. You'll get a fixed quote on the survey, not a vague band.
Q/02 Will you take on Grade II Listed buildings?
Yes — it's a big chunk of our work. We're on the NFRC Heritage Roofer register and have an in-house Listed Building Consent specialist who liaises with the conservation officer. We source like-for-like reclaimed slate, hand-make lead detailing, and document everything for the file.
Q/03 How long does a typical re-roof take?
A standard 3-bed semi runs 3 to 5 weeks on site. Larger or heritage projects 6 to 12 weeks. Lead-time from booking to scaffold up is currently 6–10 weeks depending on season. We won't start the strip until the materials are in the yard.
Q/04 What's the difference between Welsh and Spanish slate?
Welsh slate (Penrhyn, Cwt-y-Bugail) is denser, splits cleaner, and lasts 80–120 years on a Devon roof. Spanish slate is roughly 60% of the price and lasts 40–60 years — great on a barn conversion, not the right choice on a Grade II cottage. We'll show you samples of both in your driveway.
Q/05 Will you liaise with my insurer for storm damage?
Yes. We tarp-and-seal the same day, photograph the damage from drone and ground level, and submit a loss-adjuster pack within 48 hours. We deal directly with most major UK home insurers — you don't have to chase.
Q/06 Is the 15-year guarantee insurance-backed?
Yes. Our workmanship guarantee is underwritten by an IWA Approved insurer, so it survives even if we close up shop (we won't — the firm's 26 years old). The certificate transfers automatically to the next owner if you sell.
