New Roofs In Harwich
A new roof in Harwich has to cope with water on three sides. The town sits on a peninsula where the Stour and Orwell meet the North Sea, so wind and salt air reach every slope. Once patching no longer keeps the weather out, replacing the roof properly, with fixings chosen for the coast, is the sensible answer.
Options for your roof
We install and repair across all major options to suit your home and budget.
Natural slate
Dense, long-lasting slate fixed with copper nails over a breathable membrane.
Clay tiles
Traditional clay pantiles or plain tiles for period homes.
Red interlocking tiles & dry verge
Modern red interlocking tiles with mortar-free black dry verge system.
Which Harwich roofs are ready for replacing
Most re-roofs we price here fall into two groups. Beyond the Old Town, Victorian terraces and post-war houses often still carry tired concrete tiles over old felt that has gone brittle and torn between the rafters. We strip these back to the timbers, fit breathable underlay and new battens, then relay with interlocking tiles. Old Town cottages with clay tile or slate need a gentler hand: we save sound materials, source matching ones for the rest, and redo the leadwork around those tall chimneys.
Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01206 648098 or book online.

The Old Town conservation area holds many listed buildings, and changing materials or adding roof windows there may need planning permission or listed building consent. We check before quoting. On every Harwich re-roof we recommend dry-fix ridges and corrosion-resistant fixings, because mortar and ordinary nails struggle in salt air.

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.
