Roofs on exposed coastal properties can have a harder life
Blackpool’s coastal position means roofs can experience repeated wind-driven rain and salt-laden air. That does not mean every roof problem is caused by the sea, but exposed details often deserve closer attention.
Ridges and vergesRepeated wind loading can reveal weak mortar or poorly secured components.
Flashings and junctionsSmall defects may only leak when rain is driven from a particular direction.
Metal fixings and trimsExposed metalwork can deteriorate faster where conditions are persistently damp and salty.
