Roofing contractor in Lymington

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. South-westerly gales off the Solent reach the exposed slopes here, and the mortar-bedded verge on an older clay-tiled roof is the fixing that fails 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 Lymington roofs. A director surveys and quotes each of them in writing, in the same way as a full re-roof. Where a three-storey building stands against a two-storey roof, the lead cover flashing at that abutment is inspected first. Mathematical tiles clad some of Lymington’s older buildings, and a loose tile is renailed to its batten.

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. Where a claim covers an older Lymington roof, the report specifies natural slate or handmade clay tile to match, because an artificial substitute changes the gauge and the weight of the slope.

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 Lymington.
