John Brash CASE STUDY Bridlington Batten – exposed location by the sea
A domestic re-roof in an exposed coastal location.
This plain tile roof project in Bridlington was far from a simple project as the exposed coastal location also made the selection of materials really important.
The house was built in 1915, and although it’s not listed, it is located within a conservation area.
Work on the house included building into the roof and adding a number of roof windows.
Previously a domestic re-roof would fall outside of building regulations, but as this project was both a complete re roof and building into the roof the work fell under the requirements of building regulations.

All other roofing materials meet current British standards, battens should not be any different.
