Harwich is one of the most exposed towns on the Essex and Suffolk coast, and we carry out roof repairs across the peninsula — from the tight Georgian streets of the Old Town to the inter-war semis of Dovercourt Bay.
Old Harwich is particularly demanding from a roofing perspective. The listed and part-listed buildings around King's Head Street and Church Street often have original lime mortar pointing and aged Welsh slate, both of which need careful like-for-like repair rather than a wholesale replacement. Wind exposure from both the Stour and Orwell estuaries accelerates damage, and we find that chimney stacks and parapet walls are the most common failure points in this part of town.
Dovercourt has its own set of challenges — many of the bay-fronted semis have flat-roofed bay extensions that have been re-covered at various points in their lives and are now past their best. We survey both areas regularly and can usually turn around a repair quotation within a few days. Call us for a free roof survey in Harwich or Dovercourt.
