LATEST PROJECT:
Chimney leak repair & dry ridge installation
Sandford Walk, Newtown, Exeter
A leaking chimney and cracked ridge mortar prompted this repair project in Newtown, Exeter. Cloud Roofing renewed the chimney leadwork, repaired the mortar joints and installed a dry ridge system to improve protection at these exposed roof junctions.
Code 4 lead flashing
New Code 4 lead flashing was fitted around the chimney, including the upper chimney-to-roof junction. The lead was carefully shaped and dressed around the brickwork and roof covering, with lead sealant used to finish the flashing details.
Chimney repointing
Deteriorated mortar was ground out before the joints were repointed with fresh mortar incorporating PVA, restoring the exposed joints around the chimney stack.
Renewed flaunching
Fresh flaunching was formed around the chimney pots, renewing the weathering detail at the top of the stack.
Dry ridge upgrade
The old cracked ridge mortar was removed and the ridge upgraded to a mechanically fixed dry ridge system, with ridge roll and secure ridge fixings.
Don’t let a small leak become a bigger problem
A damp patch on the ceiling might be the first sign that water is getting somewhere it shouldn’t. Left unresolved, repeated water ingress can damage insulation, plaster and roof timbers—including rafters—and make a straightforward repair more involved. That doesn’t mean every leak needs major work. Finding the cause early helps you understand what needs fixing and what can wait. We’ll explain what we find, talk through your options and give you a clear quotation before any repair work starts.
Small jobs matter to us
One broken tile, a leaking gutter joint or a small flashing repair still matters when it’s your home. You don’t need a large project to get our attention. We welcome small repairs and give them the same care and straightforward advice as larger jobs. Where a local repair is suitable, we’ll explain that option.
Finding the cause—not just the damp patch
The place where water appears indoors isn’t always where it entered the roof. We investigate the likely source using visual checks and, where appropriate, moisture meters to help assess affected areas. We consider roof coverings, flashing, valleys, chimney details and drainage, alongside what you’ve noticed inside. Tell us when the problem happens and whether it changes with the weather. Photos and videos can be useful starting points. If closer access or further investigation is needed, we’ll explain why.
Local knowledge that makes a practical difference
Exeter and East Devon have a varied mix of homes, from older slate roofs and clay-tiled properties to modern extensions and flat roofs. A repair needs to suit the existing covering, roof details and condition of the building. An exposed coastal property near Exmouth or Sidmouth can face different conditions from a sheltered street in Exeter. Wind, driving rain, surrounding trees and drainage all help shape our assessment. We consider access, suitable replacement materials and how the repair will work with the roof already there.

Will I need a new roof?
Not every leak needs a replacement. We will explain whether a local repair is suitable and, where appropriate, provide repair and replacement options so you can decide.
Do you take on small roof repairs?
Yes. From a slipped tile to a small flashing repair or leaking gutter joint, we welcome small jobs and give them the same care as larger work.
