Roofs in Honiton
Honiton's High Street looks the way it does because of fire. The town was badly damaged by fires in 1747 and 1765, and the buildings along the High Street are almost all Georgian, built to replace what was lost. Even St Michael's Church, on its small hill above the town, was rebuilt after a fire in 1911. Those Georgian roofs call for careful, like-for-like repair.
Honiton has been a conservation area since 1972, and the conservation area contains 86 listed buildings, four of them Grade II*. If your home is one of them, repairs should use matching materials and methods, and changes that affect the building's character, including some roof work, need listed building consent from East Devon District Council before they start. A roofer who works on period properties will know when a repair is straightforward and when it's worth checking with the council first.
Beyond the High Street, the town spreads out to areas like Springfield and along Kings Road, with plenty of 20th-century and newer housing where the common jobs are the same as anywhere in Devon: slipped tiles, cracked ridge mortar, and felt flat roofs on extensions and garages wearing out after years of rain. With the Blackdown Hills on the doorstep, homes on the higher ground around the town take the brunt of winter storms.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a roof repair cost?
It depends on the job. As a guide, MyJobQuote's October 2026 UK figures put replacing a handful of slipped tiles at around £150–£350, a minor leak repair at £150–£400, and a flat roof patch repair at £200–£700. Bigger jobs, like a sagging roof section, can run into thousands. Your roofer will give you a fixed quote after inspecting the roof.
How quickly can a roofer come out?
It depends on the job and the time of year. Urgent jobs, like active leaks and storm damage, are prioritised, and the roofer will aim to get to you as quickly as possible. Non-urgent repairs are booked at a time that suits you. Winter storms are the busiest time, so getting small faults fixed in the autumn helps.
Is the quote free?
Yes. Enquiring is free and the roofer's quote is free, with no obligation to accept it.
What happens after I fill in the form?
We pass your enquiry to an established local roofer covering your area. They'll contact you, usually by phone, to ask a few questions and arrange a visit. After inspecting the roof, they'll give you a quote, and you decide whether to go ahead.
Can you match my existing slates?
A roofer will try to match what's on your roof, including natural slate, artificial slate and clay tile. For older homes, that may mean reclaimed slate. In conservation areas, matching the original material matters, as councils in this area advise against swapping to different coverings.
My home is listed. Can I still get roof repairs?
Yes. Repairs that are genuinely like-for-like, in matching materials, are often fine, but changes that affect the building's character need listed building consent from the council first. If you're unsure, check with your local council's conservation officer before work starts.
Do I need planning permission to repair my roof in a conservation area?
Usually not for like-for-like repairs. But changes such as altering a roof's shape or adding a dormer can need planning permission in a conservation area. Mid Devon's appraisal for Tiverton says this explicitly. A local roofer will flag it if your job looks like it needs approval.
Which areas do you cover?
Exeter and its suburbs, plus Tiverton, Honiton and Cullompton. If you're nearby, send your postcode through the form and we'll let you know.
Who will carry out the work?
An established, independent local roofer who we've vetted for a solid reputation and quality of work. They quote, carry out the work and are responsible for it.
