New Roofs In Dovercourt

Dovercourt's housing splits neatly in two. Near the seafront and its lighthouses stand Victorian and Edwardian villas, while further inland there are post-war homes and bungalows. Either way, when a roof is worn out beyond sensible repair, a full replacement built for North Sea weather is money well spent.

Local Knowledge

Re-roofing Dovercourt villas and bungalows

On the seafront villas, we typically replace slate or clay tile roofs complete with their bay roofs and the flashings around tall chimneys. Good slates and tiles are saved, matched where needed, and laid on new battens over breathable underlay. Inland, the post-war bungalows usually have concrete tiles that are heavy but tired, with sagging felt underneath. Re-roofing those is straightforward: strip, check the timbers, fit underlay, batten and tile. Fascias and gutters are often replaced at the same time to finish the job neatly. We clear every scrap of old material away when we leave.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01206 648098 or book online.

Seafront exposure and Lower Dovercourt rules

Lower Dovercourt is a conservation area, and a change of roofing material there, or new roof windows, may need permission. Elsewhere like-for-like work usually does not. Close to the water we fit dry-fix ridges and verges so nothing relies on mortar. Every new roof carries our 10-year guarantee on new roofs.

Do I need planning permission for roof work?

Most like-for-like roof repairs and re-roofs in England do not need planning permission. Changing how the roof looks, adding dormers or living in a conservation area can change that.
