Roofing contractor in Hayling Island

A genuine emergency receives a telephone callback within 24 hours. The initial visit is a make-safe: the team refixes displaced tiles, covers open lead flashing and prevents further water entering the roof before the full repair is scheduled. The prevailing wind on the island is south-westerly, so a bedded ridge on a seaward slope loses its mortar joint and the tile at the exposed end lifts first. The emergency roof repair page sets out the make-safe procedure.

Yes. Slipped tiles, cracked verge mortar, lifted lead flashing, gutter clears and single chimney pots are everyday work on Hayling Island roofs. A director surveys and quotes each of them in writing, in the same way as a full re-roof. On the sheltered harbour shores a leak is more often traced to a blocked gutter than to a displaced tile. Where a verge on an exposed slope was bedded in mortar, we specify a mechanical dry-fix verge instead.

Yes. Storm damage, fire, accidental damage and impact from falling branches are handled as insurance work. The claim is supported by a written report and dated photographs of the damage, and a director corresponds with the loss adjuster directly where the insurer appoints one. Some Hayling Island properties are occupied seasonally, so damage is often reported well after the weather that caused it, and the survey date is recorded in the report alongside the photographs.

A telephone call or the contact form is the next step, and a director books the survey. The director measures each elevation and records the pitch, the access arrangements and the condition of the lead and the verges. The quote is issued in writing, and the team begins the work on an agreed date. The same procedure applies across every part of Hayling Island.
