Roof Repairs in Heysham

Roof Repairs for Heysham homes

In Heysham, the stone cottages of Old Heysham cluster around the historic village centre, while Higher Heysham and the surrounding streets are mostly post-war semis, bungalows and newer estates. Roofs here are mostly stone flags and slate on the older cottages, and concrete tiles on most of the newer homes, and the most common call-outs are for slipped slates, loose ridge tiles and tired flashings. Heysham sits on a headland facing straight out into the bay, so storms arrive with nothing to slow them down, and verges, ridges and anything loosely fixed take the brunt. Most of those faults can be put right with a well-made repair, as long as it is done with matching materials and proper fixings rather than a tube of sealant.

Coastal repairs around the bay are often about fixings rather than slates: nails and clips that have rusted through in the salt air. We re-fix with stainless or copper and, where ridges and verges keep losing mortar, recommend a dry-fix system that will not wash out.

Every repair starts with photographs, so you can see exactly what we have found before any work starts. If a repair is the right answer, we will say so. If the roof is past the point where repairs make sense, we will tell you that honestly too.
