LR Roofing
New slate roof built for coastal weather by LR Roofing, Dorset

Roofers on Portland,
built for Portland weather.

Nowhere in Dorset punishes a roof like Portland. Salt air, open sea on three sides and wind that finds every loose tile. We cover Fortuneswell to the Bill with roofs specced for it, minutes from our Weymouth base.

Portland

Roofs that hold on when the wind gets up.

A roof that would last thirty years inland can start shedding tiles in a couple of Portland winters if it is fitted to the standard spec. Exposure changes everything: fixings, laps, ridge systems and how far you can trust mortar. We spec every Portland job for the wind zone it actually sits in, not the one in the brochure.

The island's stone terraces bring their own quirks too: solid walls, old timbers and roofs that have been patched for a century. We work with what is there, replace what is finished, and give you an honest verdict either way. Recent examples are in our work gallery.

On Portland we handle

  • Storm and wind damage, made safe fast, any hour, with insurance photos and reports
  • Re-roofs specced for exposure: mechanically fixed tiles, dry ridge systems, no shortcuts
  • Slate and tile repairs on the stone terraces of Fortuneswell, Easton and Weston
  • GRP flat roofs, seamless fibreglass that is unbothered by salt air
  • Rooflines and guttering, renewed in uPVC that does not need repainting every other year
