One of the island's smallest settlements
Tye is easy to miss on a map — it's little more than a cluster of homes along country lanes near Northney, with open fields and hedgerows on most sides.
Similar conditions to the rest of northern Hayling
Like Northney and North Hayling, Tye sits on the sheltered harbour side of the island rather than the open seafront, so roofs here tend to hold damp air rather than face heavy salt wind.
Local authority
Tye is covered by Havant Borough Council.
Frequently asked questions
Is it worth cleaning a roof in such a small hamlet?+
Roof condition depends on shade and damp, not the size of the settlement — a shaded roof in a small hamlet can need attention just as much as one in a larger town.
Are there many properties in Tye to compare notes with?+
It's a small cluster of homes, so word of mouth locally can be limited — a written quote from the installer you're matched with is a good way to judge the job on its own terms.
