Quality Roofing Across Dorset & Swanage
From flat roof installations to leadwork on heritage properties, SwanDor's roofing team delivers quality craftsmanship that stands the test of Dorset's coastal weather.
About Our Roofing Work
Built to Withstand Dorset's Coastal Climate
Dorset's coastal environment is tough on roofs. Salt air, heavy rain, and strong winds accelerate deterioration of poorly maintained roofing. That's why material selection and craftsmanship matter so much here.
With over 25 years working on roofs across Swanage, Poole, Wareham, and the wider Dorset area, our team understands exactly what your roof faces and how to protect it.

Roofing FAQs
How do I know if my roof needs repairs?
Look out for missing or slipped tiles, dark staining on ceilings, damp walls, loose lead flashing, or visible daylight in the loft space. Our team provides free inspections and honest assessments.
Can you respond to emergency roof repairs?
Yes. We aim to offer same-day assessment for emergency situations. Call us on 01929 421 999 and we'll get someone out to you as quickly as possible to minimise water ingress and damage.
How long does a flat roof last?
Modern GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber systems can last 25–50 years with proper installation. We provide manufacturer-backed guarantees of up to 20 years on all flat roofing work.
Do you offer roof inspections?
Yes. We offer free roof inspections and provide a clear, honest written report. We never recommend work that is not necessary; our reputation is built on trust.
Do you work on thatched or heritage roofs?
We specialise in leadwork for heritage properties and listed buildings. For thatched roofing we can recommend trusted local thatchers, but all scaffold and leadwork requirements we handle ourselves.
