The roofs we see in New Milton
New Milton grew fast through the mid twentieth century, and it shows in the roofs: rows of post-war and 1960s bungalows and chalet bungalows through Ashley, Bashley and the town itself, plus larger detached properties along the cliff at Barton on Sea. Concrete interlocking tiles dominate, with flat-roofed extensions, garages and porches attached to a large share of them.
Barton on Sea is genuinely exposed — there's nothing between those clifftop roofs and the Channel. Wind uplift at verges and ridges, driven rain forcing water back under tiles, and salt attacking fixings and guttering are all everyday realities there. Inland, the picture is more about age: original underfelt reaching the end of its life, and flat roofs where thirty-year-old felt has blistered and split at the joints.
New Milton sits between the New Forest and the coast at Barton on Sea, an area with genuinely active cliff erosion, and BH25 spans both worlds. Sheltered, wooded plots in Old Milton, Ashley and Bashley behave very differently from clifftop roofs at Barton, where ongoing coastal weathering — wind uplift, driven rain and salt — is a permanent condition rather than an occasional event. We spec each roof for which side of that line it sits on.

Clifftop wind uplift
On exposed Barton on Sea roofs we mechanically fix verges and ridges and increase tile clipping to current wind-zone recommendations. Standard fixing specs that work inland aren't enough on that cliff.
Salt and fixings
Sea air rusts out galvanised nails and gutter brackets fast. Stainless fixings and quality rainwater goods cost slightly more up front and remove a repeat job later.
Flat roofs on extensions
New Milton has a huge number of flat-roofed extensions and garages. Old pour-and-roll felt is well past it — EPDM or GRP with proper upstands, trims and falls is the sensible replacement.

Questions from New Milton homeowners
Does living by the sea at Barton really change the roof spec?+
Yes. Wind exposure changes the fixing requirements, and salt air changes what materials make sense. We spec for the location rather than applying an inland standard to a clifftop roof.
How long should a flat roof last?+
A properly installed EPDM or GRP flat roof should give you decades, not the ten-to-fifteen years people expect from old felt. Most flat-roof failures we see are detailing failures at upstands and edges, not the membrane itself.
Do you cover Milford on Sea and Hordle?+
Yes — the whole BH25 area and the neighbouring villages.
What guarantee do you give?+
Every job comes with a 10-year workmanship guarantee, and we're fully insured. Manufacturer warranties on materials sit on top of that where they apply.
