Roofing in Hunstanton takes on wind from every direction

Hunstanton is unusual among English seaside towns for facing west, looking straight out over The Wash rather than the open sea, and that gives it a different kind of exposure to most of the Norfolk coast. The Victorian terraces around the cliff top and the promenade were built for sea views, not shelter, and their steep slate and tile roofs take a battering whenever the wind swings onto the coast.

Behind the seafront the town has a mix of interwar and post-war housing spreading back towards the golf course and Old Hunstanton, with plainer concrete-tile roofs that suffer the usual coastal problems of corroded fixings and cracked ridge mortar rather than the storm damage seen on the cliff-top properties. Flat roofs on shops, cafes and holiday accommodation along the front are common too, and take the worst of the weather directly.

We come out from Norwich along the A148 and A149, and we know how differently a cliff-top terrace and a sheltered inland bungalow age here. You get an honest assessment, a price fixed in writing before anything starts, and roofing built to hold against wind that has nothing to slow it down before it reaches the coast.

Roof repairs, re-roofs and roofline in Hunstanton

Most calls from Hunstanton follow a spell of onshore wind that has worked tiles or slates loose on a seafront or cliff-top property. Our roof repairs in Hunstanton cover slipped slates and tiles, cracked ridge and verge mortar, and lead flashing that has lifted around chimneys and dormers. Where the roof has had its day, a new roof in Hunstanton in slate or concrete tile is priced in writing before you decide anything.

Shops and holiday lets along the front get GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber flat roofs that stand up to salt air and standing water far better than old felt. We also fit uPVC fascias, soffits and guttering that will not rot in coastal wind, and clean moss and salt residue from north-facing slopes with roof cleaning.
