Storm and Weather Damage Specialists in Folkestone

Folkestone’s coastal location means roofs take a heavier beating than most.

We see the same damage patterns again and again – slipped tiles after Channel storms, salt corrosion on lead flashings, blocked gutters from coastal debris and rapid wear on older felt roofs.

Whether you’ve just had a storm tear tiles off overnight or you’ve spotted slow weather damage over a winter, we’ll be on-site fast, assess the damage and give you an honest recommendation.

Common Folkestone roof problems we fix:

Salt corrosion on chimney flashings and lead work

Wind-lifted ridge tiles and damaged ridge mortar

Storm-damaged tiles and slipped slates after high winds

Aged felt and flat roofs failing earlier than inland equivalents

Blocked or broken guttering from coastal debris and leaf fall
