Roofers in Dymchurch

Behind the sea wall on Romney Marsh, where the wind arrives with nothing in its way.

A low pitched tiled roof under open sky in Kent

Dymchurch sits behind the sea wall on the edge of Romney Marsh, low, flat and open. We cover it as part of our core patch, a short run along the coast from Hythe.

The housing here is a different mix from the towns: a lot of single storey property, bungalows, chalets and holiday stock alongside the older village, which changes both the failures we see and how the work is done. Below is the full range of what we take on.

Wind, not rain, is the problem here

On the Marsh there is nothing between a roof and the weather. Wind crossing flat open ground arrives at full strength, and on a low building it does something specific: it lifts. Pressure differences over a shallow roof try to peel the covering upwards from the edges rather than push it down.

So the fixing specification matters more in Dymchurch than almost anywhere we work. Mechanically fixed ridges and verges, correct clip patterns and properly detailed edges are the difference between a roof that shrugs off a gale and one that loses a strip of tiles in it.

Bungalows, chalets and shallow pitches

A lot of Dymchurch property is single storey with a shallow pitch, and a shallow pitch is less forgiving than a steep one. Water moves more slowly off it, wind drives rain further up under the covering, and the minimum pitch a given tile is rated for genuinely matters.

Getting that wrong is a common cause of a roof that leaks in wind-driven rain but is perfectly dry in a downpour. If that is what yours does, the pitch and the underlay lap are the first things worth looking at.
