Roof Coverings C R Smith & Son Installs in Skegness
Not every roof in Skegness needs the same covering. The right choice depends on the building, the budget and the look you want, so here's how the two coverings we fit compare.
Natural Slate Roofs
Natural slate gives a traditional finish and holds up well to coastal weather when laid with the right fixings, suiting many of Skegness's older seafront properties.

How it works
How Our New Roof Installation in Skegness Works
Close to the sea, how a roof is fixed down matters as much as what it's covered in, so here's how a new roof in Skegness goes on:
- 1
Survey and quote
We check the covering, the timbers and how exposed the roof is to the wind off the sea, then quote with the fixings and ridge system written in.
- 2
Plan around your season
For guest houses and holiday lets, we agree dates that work around your bookings, ideally outside the busiest summer weeks.
- 3
Strip and re-cover
The old covering comes off, damaged timbers are put right, then new membrane, battens and tiles or slate go on with fixings suited to the coast.
- 4
Secure and clear
Ridges and verges are secured, usually with a dry-fix system that copes better with coastal wind than mortar alone, and the site is cleared.

FAQs about New Roofs in Skegness
Does living on the coast affect what roof I should choose in Skegness?
Coastal wind and salt air put extra strain on fixings and exposed edges, so we pay particular attention to how a roof is fixed down, not just what it's covered in. We'll talk you through what holds up best for a Skegness property.
Can you re-roof my guest house outside the holiday season?
Yes. Plenty of Skegness guest houses and holiday lets prefer the work done between autumn and spring, so get in touch early and we'll plan the job around your bookings.
Why do ridge tiles keep coming loose on Skegness roofs?
Mortar-bedded ridges take a beating from sea wind and weather, and over time the mortar cracks and lets go. On a new roof we'll usually recommend a mechanically fixed, dry ridge and verge system, which holds up far better on an exposed coastal roof.
Is a new roof on a bungalow cheaper than on a house?
Not always. Bungalows need less scaffolding height, but their roofs often cover a larger footprint, so the area to strip and re-cover can be similar to a two-storey house. We'll measure up and give you a written breakdown.
Do you offer a guarantee on new roofs?
We stand behind our work. Talk to us about the specific job in Skegness and we'll explain what's covered before we start.
Is the quote free?
Yes. Every quote from C R Smith & Son is free and written, with no obligation.
