Typical jobs on harbour-side cottages
Harbour-side cottages and exposed pantile roofs.
Holiday lets and seasonal timing
Lets and chalets around Wells-next-the-Sea are best worked on out of season, so dates are planned around the bookings.
Soft or rotten decking
Where a Wells-next-the-Sea deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards come out before any new membrane goes down.
Ponding water
Flats laid with too little fall around Wells-next-the-Sea hold water for days on end, which shortens the life of any membrane, so falls and outlet positions get reset rather than covered over.
Wind-lifted ridges and verges
Salt-laden gusts coming in off the coast at Wells-next-the-Sea work at the bedding mortar first. On Wells-next-the-Sea roofs we usually recommend dry-fix ridge and verge systems when re-covering.

Our working method
Deck inspection
We lift a section to see the deck; nothing is laid over boards that are soft or damp.
Falls and detailing set out
Firrings, outlet positions and upstand heights are agreed before the membrane arrives.
Membrane installation
EPDM, GRP or felt installed with trims and upstands dressed properly at every edge.
Water test and handover
Outlets checked under flow, edges walked, and the finished roof handed over with the system details.

Practical answers before you book
- Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
- Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On Wells-next-the-Sea extensions it's usually falls that were never set properly. We reset falls with firrings rather than lay new membrane over the same puddle.
- Is the roof walkable?
- GRP takes foot traffic and suits balconies and terraces. EPDM is fine for maintenance access but isn't intended as a walking surface, if you need a usable deck, say so and we'll specify accordingly.
- Can you overlay the existing felt?
- Only if the deck below is dry and sound, and we'll lift a section to check. Overlaying a soft deck buys a year or two and costs the whole job again.
- Do you clear up afterwards in Wells-next-the-Sea?
- Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste is taken away from the Wells-next-the-Sea address and gutters are cleared before we invoice.
- How soon can someone look at a leak in Wells-next-the-Sea (NR23)?
- Call 07437 005301 and an inspection in Wells-next-the-Sea is arranged from there. A 24/7 emergency call-out is advertised for active leaks and storm damage, and you'll be told on the phone what is realistic for Wells-next-the-Sea rather than given a fixed promise.
