Harwich is one of the most demanding environments in Essex for roofing work — the peninsula town juts into the mouth of two estuaries and catches coastal weather from almost every direction.
The old town around Harwich Green and Kings Quay Street contains some genuinely historic properties, many with ageing slate or small plain clay tiles that have been patched repeatedly rather than properly replaced. Further out towards Dovercourt, the long rows of Victorian and Edwardian bay-fronted terraces are common, and their roofs take significant punishment from north-easterly gales off the North Sea. Salt corrosion attacks fixings and mortar faster here than almost anywhere inland.
We carry out full roof replacements in Harwich and Dovercourt, working carefully on older properties and advising on the right tile specification for the coastal exposure. Call us to arrange a free on-site survey in Harwich.
