Roofing in Canterbury, Kent

Key signs include missing or slipped tiles, visible daylight in the loft, damp patches on ceilings, deteriorating flashings around chimneys and skylights, or a roof that is over 30–40 years old. We carry out a thorough inspection — including the structure, tiles, flashings, gutters and felt — and give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement is the better option.

We work with the full range — clay, concrete, natural slate, synthetic slate, and the traditional Kent Peg tiles used widely on period properties across this area. We match existing materials wherever possible on repairs to conservation and listed buildings.

Yes. We install modern flat roof systems including GRP fibreglass, EPDM single-ply rubber membrane and three-layer felt. These modern systems are significantly more durable and longer-lasting than traditional felt and carry meaningful guarantees.

Yes. We respond to emergency roof damage — storm damage, fallen tiles, sudden leaks — across Canterbury and Kent. We prioritise making the roof weather-tight quickly to prevent further damage, and then follow up with a full permanent repair once the immediate situation is safe.

Re-roofing using the same materials is generally permitted development. Changing materials significantly, adding a dormer, or any work on a listed building requires consent. We check planning requirements at the survey stage and can advise on whether consent applications are needed.

A well-installed pitched roof using quality tiles should last 50–100 years with proper maintenance. Modern flat roof membranes typically carry 20–25 year guarantees. The key is correct installation, good detailing around flashings and valleys, and keeping gutters clear. We stand behind our work with workmanship guarantees.
