Heritage Roofing in Devon & Cornwall
Expert Heritage Roofing Services Across Devon & Cornwall
Heritage roofing needs a different approach to modern roofing. The materials, detailing and structure of older buildings often require traditional methods and a repair-led mindset — especially on listed buildings and period properties.
Pete Nicholls Roofing specialises in heritage roofing across Devon and Cornwall, delivering careful repairs and renewals that protect the building while preserving its character.
Our Slate & Tile Roofing Services Include:
New Roof Installations
We supply and fit new slate and tiled roofs to match your property’s style and structure, whether it’s a modern home, traditional cottage, or listed building.
Re-Roofing & Replacement
Is your existing slate or tiled roof coming to the end of its life? We’ll remove the old materials, assess the structure, and replace it with a new, properly installed roof using your preferred material.
