Our story

A family business for over 50 years

Mid-Cornwall Roofing Contractors was established over 50 years ago, and it's been a family business ever since. It's one of the longest-running roofing companies in Cornwall, and one of our directors is a qualified NVQ assessor.

Our team are all direct employees, with skills in building, carpentry and decorating as well as roofing, so we can take on complete refurbishments. Over the years we've built up a large stock of reclaimed and discontinued materials, which helps when matching an older roof.

Our yard and offices are in Penryn, near Falmouth, and we work across the whole of Cornwall.

Common questions

Good to know

Can my roof be repaired instead of replaced?

Each roof is different, but there's usually something that can be done to repair it and prolong its life, by replacing broken slates or tiles, or patching and sealing a flat roof. It depends on the condition of the battens or boards underneath.

Water runs down my chimney in the loft. Can it be fixed?

You may need a lead saddle beneath your ridge. It's an essential part of the lead work where a chimney sits at the top of the roof.

Can I replace a lead valley without stripping the roof?

Yes. Usually only a couple of slates or tiles either side need lifting to replace the lead, before they're put back and the ridge is bedded and pointed.

My gutters overflow. Do they need replacing?

Not necessarily. It could be a blocked outlet or gutter, or the wrong fall on the guttering. None of these are major problems.

Can I have tiles if my neighbours have slate?

Yes. A preformed bonding gutter above the party wall lets the two roofs meet neatly, and it isn't visible.

Some slates have fallen off. Do I need a re-roof?

Not always. Missing or broken eaves can often be fixed with eaves trays, or by opening a small section to reinstate new slates.
