Trusted Roofing Services Across Kent and Medway

When a roof reaches the end of its life, patching stops being economical. We strip, inspect and re-roof houses across Kent using slate, clay and concrete tiles, with new felt, battens and leadwork throughout.

Most roof problems start small. A slipped tile, a failed flashing or a blocked valley lets water in, and by the time a ceiling stains the timber underneath has usually been wet for months. We find the cause, not just the symptom.

The roofline is where most water gets in. Chimney flaunching cracks, lead flashing lifts, and gutters that have not been cleared for years push water down the wall instead of away from it.

A roof lasts longer when someone looks at it occasionally. Clearing gutters, removing moss and catching a lifted tile early costs a fraction of the repair it prevents.

Solar only makes sense on a roof that is sound underneath it. The covering and the structure are surveyed first, then panels are installed, maintained and bird proofed across Kent.

Pitched roofing covers most Kent housing stock. Our approved roofers work in natural slate, clay pantiles and concrete interlocking tiles, matching what is already there or specifying a better performing replacement.

Flat roofs fail at the joints and upstands long before the middle wears out. Our approved roofers install EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and torch on felt systems on extensions, garages and dormers.

Slate and clay are what most older Kent roofs were built with, and they reward being repaired properly rather than replaced with something cheaper.

A roof window is only as good as the flashing kit around it. Conservation and standard roof windows are fitted into slate and tile roofs and the surrounding covering made watertight.

A live leak needs stopping before it needs pricing. We make the roof safe and watertight first, then quote the permanent repair once we can see what caused it.

Kent gets the weather off the Channel. After a storm we check the whole covering, not just the obvious gap, because lifted tiles and stressed flashings often show up weeks later.

Chimneys take more weather than any other part of a roof. Failed flaunching and eroded pointing let water into the stack and down into the ceilings below.

Lead is the detail that stops water where two surfaces meet. Cement fillets crack and fail; properly dressed code lead lasts decades.

Guttering that leaks or sags soaks the wall below it and eventually the wall plate behind the fascia. Our approved roofers replace uPVC and aluminium rainwater goods and the boards behind them.

Moss holds water against the tile and pushes it up under the lap. It is worth removing, but scraping and jet washing a slate roof does more harm than the moss did.

Useful before buying, after a storm, or when a roof is old enough that you want to know how long it has left. You get photographs and a written assessment.

The covering and the structure are checked before panels are quoted. Mounting hardware fixed into tired battens is the most common cause of a leak on an otherwise good install.

Output drops when panels are dirty or shaded, and mounting points loosen over time. Our approved roofers service existing arrays whoever installed them.

The gap under a solar array is exactly what a pigeon is looking for. Nesting there blocks airflow, fouls the roof and causes real damage.

Insulation without ventilation causes condensation, and condensation rots the timbers it collects on. The two have to be specified together.
