Lead roofer in Hastings

Across Hastings (TN34) the work is mostly lead repairs, re-roofs and flashings on Old Town and seafront property, alongside the general roofing that goes with it. Hastings has conservation areas running along the front and a great deal of listed Regency and Victorian property behind them, so on a visible roof the material and the detail are usually fixed before the price is, and salt air off the Channel decides the rest. Every job starts with a proper look at the roof rather than a price guessed off a photograph.

No. Travel is included in the price of the work. Hastings is roughly 31 miles from Brighton, and that is stated up front rather than added at the end. For anything more than a small repair, the job gets planned as a proper visit rather than a day trip.

Yes. Hastings Old Town is steep, tight and old, with roofs that were built long before anyone thought about scaffold access, so the planning of a job there matters as much as the work. Paul is happy to talk through the kind of leadwork he has done near Old Town when you get in touch.

Very much so. Seafront property in Hastings takes salt and wind-driven rain constantly, and the lead on it is usually working harder than the same detail two miles inland. Codes go up, laps get longer, fixings are non-ferrous throughout, and parapet gutters get drips at closer centres because the thermal movement on a south-facing roof there is not trivial. Nearly every failure we get called to on the front is a detail that would have been fine somewhere sheltered.

Yes. Builders, main contractors and roofing firms around Hastings bring Paul in for the lead element they do not cover themselves, priced by the job or by the day on your material and your programme. Supply and fit is offered on exactly the same work if you would rather have one price for the lot.

Usually within a week or so, and faster where water is coming into the building. Hastings is around 31 miles from Brighton, so a look at the roof is straightforward to arrange. Quotes are free, carry no obligation, and you get the price in writing before anything starts.
