Roofers in Weston-Super-Mare

Weston-super-Mare is a classic Victorian seaside resort on the Somerset coast of the Bristol Channel, with grand resort terraces, a famous pier, Victorian and Edwardian villas and extensive suburban and bungalow housing. The older stock is roofed in natural slate, often behind parapets, while the bungalows and many extensions run to concrete tile and flat roofs.

On the Bristol Channel coast with its huge tidal range, Weston takes salt-laden wind and driving rain off the water, which corrodes ferrous fixings and lifts under-secured slate and flat roofs, so coastal specification matters throughout. For owners here, use copper or stainless fixings rather than iron, mechanically fix slates, tiles and ridges against wind uplift, and detail flat roofs with proper falls and sound upstands. On the resort terraces budget for parapet gutters as much as the slopes, keep gutters and flashings maintained against the salt, and prioritise sound valley work on the older stock.
