Re-Roofing in Cranbrook
Slate on one street, clay tile on the next: a Cranbrook re-roof needs to suit the house it's covering.
Re-Roofing in Cranbrook
Cranbrook's mix of weatherboarded, Georgian brick and Victorian properties means re-roofing jobs here rarely follow a single pattern. A Victorian house might need its slate replaced with matching slate and lead valleys renewed, while a cottage on the older streets could need handmade clay tile instead.
Tile hanging on walls is common in the town too, and when a roof is being re-covered it's often worth checking the hung tiles on the elevations at the same time, since both tend to age at a similar rate on the same house.
Much of Cranbrook sits within a large conservation area, combining weatherboarded and tile-hung elevations, clay tile roofs on older buildings and Welsh slate on Victorian houses. Sissinghurst nearby shares much of the same character.
Local knowledge
Re-roofing in Cranbrook
01
Matching slate or clay tile
We choose materials to match the existing roof, which in Cranbrook's conservation area usually means slate for slate and clay for clay.
02
Wall-hung tiles alongside the roof
Where tile hanging on the walls is reaching the same age as the roof, it's often sensible to deal with both together.
03
Valleys between mixed roofs
On extended or altered houses, valleys where slate and tile meet need careful lead detailing to stay watertight.
