Roofing for Christchurch homes, old and new
Christchurch combines centuries of history with some of the most exposed stretches of the Dorset coast.
The historic town centre has conservation areas, older buildings and traditional clay tiles, while coastal neighbourhoods like Mudeford, Friars Cliff and Highcliffe mix family homes, chalet bungalows and newer builds. Each needs a slightly different approach — and two generations of experience mean we know the difference. For businesses, see our commercial flat roofing service, and for urgent leaks our roof repairs.
Roofing services in Christchurch
Flat roofing
EPDM rubber, GRP and torch-on felt for extensions, garages, dormers and porches.
Roof repairs
Leaks, slipped tiles, ridges, flashings and chimney repairs, carefully matched.

Pitched and flat roof replacements that suit the character of your home.
Emergency roofing
Fast help to make storm-damaged and leaking roofs safe and watertight.
Sympathetic work on older properties
On period and character homes, the details matter: tiles and slates that match the originals, traditional bedding where it’s appropriate and carefully dressed leadwork. Where a property is listed or within a conservation area, we’ll help you understand what consent may be needed before any work starts — and we’ll be honest if a job needs a specialist heritage roofer.
Bungalows, dormers and flat-roofed extensions
Christchurch and Highcliffe have plenty of bungalows and chalet bungalows, many with flat-roofed garages, dormers and extensions. These roofs are our bread and butter — whether that means replacing tired felt with EPDM rubber or GRP, re-covering a dormer to stop a persistent leak, or adding a warm roof upgrade to make a room below more comfortable.
Protecting coastal homes
Properties near the harbour and along the cliff tops at Highcliffe and Friars Cliff face salty air and strong onshore winds. We specify fixings and details that resist wind uplift and corrosion, and check vulnerable areas like verges, ridges and flat roof edges as a matter of course.

Christchurch roofing FAQs
Do you work on properties in Christchurch’s conservation areas?
Yes. We match existing materials wherever possible and can advise on whether your work is likely to need consent from BCP Council before it goes ahead.
Do you cover Highcliffe and Mudeford?
Yes — along with Friars Cliff, Stanpit, Somerford, Burton, Walkford and the rest of Christchurch.
Can you re-roof a bungalow or chalet bungalow?
Yes. We re-roof bungalows and chalet bungalows, including dormers and any flat-roofed sections, and can often complete the work faster than on a two-storey house as there’s less scaffolding involved.
