Flat Roof Repair in Hawkhurst
Flat roofs on Hawkhurst's extensions and outbuildings face a harder time than most, given how exposed the village sits.
Flat Roof Repair in Hawkhurst
Hawkhurst's position on high, open ground means flat roofs here take more wind-driven rain than in more sheltered villages nearby. A felt or asphalt covering that might last reasonably well elsewhere can wear faster on an exposed extension roof near the Moor or along the ridge towards the Colonnade.
Farmhouses and former oast buildings on the lanes around the village often have flat-roofed additions linking older and newer parts of the property, and these are usually where leaks start first.
Housing in Hawkhurst includes tile-hung and weatherboarded cottages with flat-roofed rear additions, Victorian brick buildings around the Colonnade, and farmhouses on the outskirts with flat-roofed outbuildings and link extensions.
Local knowledge
Flat roof issues we see in Hawkhurst
01
Wind-driven rain under laps
Exposed flat roofs here can suffer water getting under felt laps that would normally stay sealed, particularly on roofs facing the prevailing wind.
02
Farmhouse outbuilding roofs
Flat-roofed barns and outbuildings on farms around the village often have older felt coverings that have had little maintenance over the years.
03
Link roofs between old and new
Where a flat roof joins an older part of a farmhouse to a newer extension, movement between the two structures can open up small gaps at the junction.
