Properties near Herne Bay’s seafront face a different level of wear than those further inland; salt air corrodes metal fixings faster, and constant coastal wind puts extra strain on tiles and flashing. Roads back from the coast bring more standard residential roofing, but the exposure factor rarely disappears completely this close to the water.
As a roofing company that regularly works in coastal towns, Hibbs Roofing and Building Ltd chooses materials and fixings rated for salt exposure, so repairs last longer rather than needing to be redone within a couple of seasons.
We cover Herne Bay and the villages around it, reaching properties close to the front just as easily as those set back from the coast.
As roofing contractors familiar with coastal properties, we offer the full range of services to Herne Bay homeowners and businesses:
We use corrosion-resistant fixings and materials suited to the salt exposure common in this area close to the sea.
Coastal humidity can accelerate damp issues; we trace the source and treat it properly rather than masking symptoms.
Sea air breaks down mortar faster than inland conditions; we repoint chimneys and ridges to keep water out.
Salt-air corrosion and coastal rainfall both take a toll on guttering; we fit and repair systems built to withstand them.
For extensions and outbuildings, we install membrane roofing systems designed to handle coastal weather.
Flashing wears faster in salt air; we renew it to stop leaks developing around chimneys and valleys.
