Local roofers in Lowestoft
Lowestoft is the most easterly town in Britain, and roofs here take the weather first. The town runs either side of Lake Lothing and the harbour, with the older fishing quarter and the Scores to the north, and the Victorian and Edwardian seaside streets of Kirkley and South Lowestoft laid out to the south. Out towards Ness Point and along the Pakefield cliffs there is almost nothing between a roof and the North Sea. From our base at Dersingham, Lowestoft sits inside the NR postcodes we cover as our core area, so it is a normal run for us rather than a special trip.
Common roofing work in Lowestoft
Salt is the difference here. It is not just the wind, it is what the wind carries, and it works away at anything metal: nails, clips, flashings, gutter fixings and the screws holding fascia boards on. We see far more failed fixings and lifted flashings on this coast than we do inland, and often on roofs where the tiles themselves are still perfectly sound. The Victorian villas on the south side tend to be slate with deep valleys and tall exposed stacks, and chimney work is a regular job on those. The interwar and postwar housing further back is mostly pantile, with flat roofs over later extensions and dormers that need watching. Where a roof faces east, we expect it to need attention sooner than the same roof facing inland, and we say so.
