Roof Replacement in Shinewater

Shinewater was built predominantly between 1968 and 1982, and virtually every concrete tile roof in the estate is at some stage of galvanised nail failure. The low-lying position next to Shinewater Park creates the highest persistent humidity of any Eastbourne neighbourhood, accelerating nail corrosion faster than higher ground sites. We've carried out more nail sickness surveys in Shinewater than anywhere else in Eastbourne.

Nail Sickness and Re-Roofing in Shinewater

The majority of full re-roofs we carry out in Shinewater follow nail sickness diagnosis rather than standard age-related replacement. When fixing failure is comprehensive and the felt has perished — common on Shinewater properties built in the early phases of the 1968–1975 development — a full re-roof is more cost-effective than the re-fixing option because the deck and underlay need replacement regardless. We survey the specific property and quote both options transparently so you can make an informed decision.

A re-roof in Shinewater typically uses quality concrete interlocking tile on the standard pitches of the post-war stock. Stainless steel fixings are used throughout as standard — not galvanised. Dry-ridge mechanical fixing is specified on all south and west-facing slopes given Shinewater's low-lying and somewhat exposed position.
