Local Knowledge

What usually goes wrong on Dovercourt roofs

On the Victorian and Edwardian villas, slates slip as their nails rust, and the small bay roofs over front windows often leak where the lead meets the wall. Tall chimneys lose pointing and their flashings lift. Inland, the post-war homes and bungalows suffer more from lifted ridge tiles, loose verges and rusted gutter brackets. We diagnose the real cause rather than smearing on sealant, then repair it with the correct material, whether that is a new slate, re-dressed lead or a dry-fixed ridge.

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

Do I need planning permission for roof work?
