Homeowners in Hythe choose us for our fast service, tidy workmanship and unbeatable customer care. We treat every home like it is our own and it shows in our results.
Hythe runs from the seafront up the hill, so two roofs a few streets apart can sit in genuinely different exposure. We specify for the one we are standing on.
A lot of our Hythe work is leadwork and chimneys, because the older stock here has plenty of both and they are the parts that fail first.
Two roofs, half an hour apart, two specifications
Sheltered, inland Ashford
Galvanised fixings
Perfectly sound here, and cheaper. Spending more would be spending for the sake of it.
Exposed, Lydd and Dymchurch
Stainless fixings
Quoted as standard rather than as an upgrade, because the cheaper option does not survive out here.
Salt off the Channel corrodes ferrous metal far faster than ordinary damp air. We have taken tiles off roofs in Hythe 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.
