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.
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 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.
