What roofing work do you do in Hayling Island?
Across Hayling Island the work is mostly on bungalows, chalet bungalows and interwar seaside housing on wide, low pitches, which means repairs, re-roofs, flat roofs, leadwork, chimneys and guttering in roughly that order. Hayling Island sits right on the water, so everything on the roof is working against salt air and driven rain, and the fixings, laps, ridge bedding and flashings all get specified for real exposure rather than for an average inland site. Every job starts with a proper look at the roof rather than a price guessed off a photograph.
Do you charge extra to come out to Hayling Island?
No. Travel is included in the price of the work. Hayling Island is roughly 5 miles from Portsmouth, and that is stated up front rather than added at the end.
Have you worked in Hayling Island before?
Yes. Hayling Island is about as exposed as roofing gets round here, so fixings, clips and flashing detail matter far more than they would on the same house inland. We are happy to talk through the kind of work we have done near seafront when you get in touch.
Does the property in Hayling Island change how the roof is done?
It does. Roofs in Hayling Island are working against salt air and driven rain every day of the year, so bedding, clips, laps and flashing detail matter far more here than they do inland. Non-ferrous fixings, mechanically clipped ridges and properly dressed lead are the difference between a roof that lasts and one that is back open in five winters.
How quickly can you look at a leaking roof in Hayling Island?
Usually within a few days, and faster where water is actively coming into the building. Hayling Island is around 5 miles from Portsmouth, so getting out to look at it is straightforward. Quotes are free, carry no obligation, and you get the price in writing before anything starts.
Do you do free roof checks in Hayling Island?
Yes. If you have not had the roof looked at in years, or you have just bought the place, we will go over the ridge, valleys, flashings and gutters and tell you honestly what needs doing. You get photos of anything we find, and there is no obligation to have the work done.
