Roof Repairs in Morecambe

Roof Repairs for Morecambe homes

In Morecambe, Victorian and Edwardian terraces and former guest houses fill the streets behind the promenade, with 1930s semis and bungalows through Bare, Torrisholme and Westgate. Roofs here are mostly Welsh slate on the older terraces and concrete tiles on the inter-war and post-war homes, and the most common call-outs are for slipped slates, loose ridge tiles and tired flashings. Being right on the bay, Morecambe homes get salt-laden westerlies straight off the water. That corrodes old nails and clips, loosens ridge and verge mortar, and lifts any lead that was not properly dressed and fixed. 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.
