Coastal Kent
We have built a solid reputation across Lydd for delivering quality roofing at fair prices. No delays, no nonsense, just honest work that speaks for itself.
Lydd roofs are exposed on every side, and a specification that would last decades in Ashford gives up years earlier out here.
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. We quote the roof in front of us.
Salt off the Channel corrodes ferrous metal far faster than ordinary damp air. We have taken tiles off roofs in Lydd 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.

How we specify for each areaLydd is exposed on every side, so a specification that would last decades in Ashford gives up years earlier out here. We quote the roof in front of us rather than a standard one.
New roofs in detailThe membrane and the battens are what actually keep a Lydd roof working, and they are the two things a quote can quietly economise on because nobody sees them again.
Felt and batten in detailStorm damage and slipped tiles, made safe quickly. An exposed bungalow loses tiles in weather that would not trouble a sheltered terrace in town.
Roof repairs in detailBrookland sits inland on the Walland Marsh, about seven and a half miles from open water, and its village core has been a conservation area since November 1973. There is no adopted appraisal for it, so there is no published local statement of what is acceptable and every application is judged on its own. The listed cluster is tight, with around twenty of the twenty five entries within about 300 metres of St Augustine's church. The church is Grade I and its detached timber belfry, shingled and given its candle snuffer roof in the fifteenth century, is separately Grade I in its own right. It is said to be one of only five detached belfries in England.
