Coastal Kent
From roof cleaning to new flat roofs, we have completed dozens of jobs in Dymchurch. Our local knowledge means we can respond quickly and offer tailored solutions that last.
Dymchurch is about as exposed as Kent gets. Roofs here take the weather from the sea first and everything else second, so ridge tiles, verges and eaves are usually where the trouble starts.
Wind pulls upwards on a roof rather than pressing down, and the suction is fiercest exactly at those edges. It is why we replace more ridge tiles than almost anything else on this stretch of coast.
Salt off the Channel corrodes ferrous metal far faster than ordinary damp air. We have taken tiles off roofs in Dymchurch after nothing more than a breezy week, purely because the nails holding them had rusted through. That is a specification failure, not a tile failure.
If a roofer quotes the same specification for a Lydd bungalow as for a sheltered terrace in town, they either do not know the difference or have not priced for it.
How we specify for each areaThis is the job we do more of in Dymchurch than anywhere. Wind pulls upwards on a roof and the suction is fiercest at the ridge, so mortar bedding that was never designed for this exposure is usually the first thing to go.
Ridge tiles in detailPlenty of our Dymchurch work starts as a clean and turns into a proper look at the covering, because being up there is how you find the cracked tile nobody could see from the pavement.
Roof cleaning in detailExposed flat roofs here take wind uplift at the edges as well as standing water in the middle, so the upstands and the outlets matter as much as the surface.
Flat roofing in detailRidge tiles, verges and eaves, in that order. On this stretch of coast the trouble almost never starts in the middle of a slope.
