Our story

Two brothers, three generations

Marks Brothers was started in Exeter in 1959 by two brothers. More than sixty years on, it's still a family business, now run by the second and third generations, and still built on the same thing: a good name for quality work, reliability and doing the job properly.

We're both qualified roofers, with 40 years' roofing experience between us. No roof is too big or too small, and we look after every part of the job from start to finish, keeping up to date with the latest rules on insulation, ventilation and safety.

What we do

Every part of the roof

Re-roofing & new roofs

Stripping, insulating, felting and battening, then natural or man-made slate, clay or concrete tiles. We handle the whole job, start to finish.

Slate, tile & shingle

Spanish, Brazilian and Cornish Delabole slate, clay plain tiles, double Romans and cedar shingles, including salvaging and re-using original materials.

Lead work

Lead bossing and lead welding, from chimney flashings to bespoke outlets, all carried out to Lead Sheet Association guidelines.

Flat roofs

Any size or shape, using modern materials that don't need a flame or heat, which is safer. All our work is guaranteed.

Repairs & storm damage

Slipped or broken slates and tiles, ridges, leaking gutters, lead, roof windows, moss, condensation and rotten timber.

Fascias, soffits & guttering

uPVC fascias, soffits and guttering in any colour or style, plus cast-iron-style downpipes and steel guttering.

Also: chimney repairs and rebuilds, roof windows, and general maintenance including carpentry, pointing and brickwork.

Aerial drone surveys

See your whole roof, without a ladder

We carry out qualified aerial drone surveys of domestic and industrial roofs. You get a clear, detailed view of your roof's condition, and if you need it, a plan for what to fix now and what to keep an eye on.

  • Detailed report on the condition of your roof
  • Costs for any immediate repairs
  • Short and long-term maintenance plan, so problems are fixed before water gets in
