Roofing in Penzance & the Penwith Peninsula
Penzance sits right on the edge of the Atlantic, and its roofs take a battering for it. Salt-laden gales drive in off Mount's Bay, working on everything from the seafront properties along the Promenade to the older stock up around Alverton and Heamoor. That constant wind and salt puts slate fixings, lead flashings and pointing to the test all year round.
Much of the housing here is solid granite and natural slate, a lot of it period or listed, especially around the conservation areas of Chapel Street and the old town. Out in the surrounding villages (Newlyn, Mousehole, St Just, Sennen, Land's End and Marazion) you'll find the same traditional Cornish slate roofs, often on exposed clifftop and harbour-side plots. These are the roofs Steve has built his career on: he knows exactly how they're put together, how the Penwith weather wears them, and precisely what it takes to keep them watertight for decades.
