Roofers in Truro

Truro is one of Cornwall's most architecturally rich places, and its roofs reflect that. The elegant Georgian terraces around Lemon Street and Walsingham Place, the period townhouses near the cathedral, and the conservation areas that ribbon through the city centre all carry traditional slate roofs that reward a careful, knowledgeable hand.

Sitting inland at the head of three river valleys, Truro is more sheltered than the open coast, but its older roofs still face plenty of driven rain, moss build-up in the damp valley air, and the gradual ageing of lead and pointing that comes with period stock. Out in the surrounding slate-roofed villages (Kea, Kenwyn, Shortlanesend, Chacewater and the parishes along the Fal) you'll find the same traditional Cornish slate, often on listed or conservation-area plots. These are the roofs Steve has built his career on. He understands period detailing, works with reclaimed and matching slate, and knows exactly what it takes to make a finished Truro roof look right on the property and stay watertight for decades.
