Roofers in Rossall
Western Cleveleys neighbourhood facing the Irish Sea — single-storey bungalow stock on flat ground with no windbreak between the property and the prom.
Rossall housing stock
Almost entirely 1960s–70s detached bungalows on generous plots, originally covered in Marley Plain or Redland Norfolk Pantile concrete tiles. A handful of 1980s dormer-bungalow conversions exist around Beach Road and Princes Way, all with shallow-pitched front elevations.
Common roofing issues in Rossall
- Ridge-tile lift after every named winter storm — Rossall has no shelter from a westerly and original mortar bedding fails first
- End-of-life valley liners — 1960s GRP or felt valleys on bungalows are now 50+ years old and leaking at the joints
- Slipped tiles on shallow-pitched dormer roofs — wind uplift at shallow pitch is brutal and tiles need mechanical clipping, not just nibs
- Failed lead soakers around chimney stacks — usually code 3 lead from the original build, thinned through after decades of salt and freeze-thaw
Our approach in Rossall
Rossall bungalow ridges are converted to dry-fix as the default — there is no point re-bedding mortar that the Wyre coast is going to lift again next December. Valley renewals use single-ply EPDM bonded under tile, sized for the full bay width with proper upstands. Every replacement tile gets a stainless tile clip on top of the existing nib so single-tile failures don't cascade into a section.
Recent Rossall job
Recent example: dry-fix ridge conversion and full valley re-line on a Beach Road bungalow — old felt valley stripped, EPDM single-ply bonded under matched Marley Plain tiles, completed in two days with no leak return after the following winter's storms.
