Re-Roofing in Tenterden
Being based in Tenterden, we know which roofs in town are approaching the end of their life before the phone even rings.
Re-Roofing in Tenterden
Tenterden's roofs cover a wide span of ages and styles: Georgian weatherboarded fronts on the High Street, Wealden hall houses, Victorian brick villas and post-war semis further out towards Ashford Road and Leigh Green. When one of these reaches the point where repairs are no longer the sensible answer, a re-roof means stripping it back fully and starting again properly.
Because much of the town centre sits within a conservation area, re-roofing here almost always means matching materials, usually handmade clay peg tile or plain tile, and keeping the original roofline rather than changing it. Outside the conservation area, there's more flexibility, but we still aim to keep a roof looking right for its house.
Central Tenterden's conservation area contains a high concentration of listed and traditional buildings roofed in clay peg or plain tile, with Welsh slate on some later Victorian properties. Newer housing on the edges of town is generally finished in concrete interlocking tile, which gives more choice when a re-roof is needed.
Local knowledge
Re-roofing considerations in Tenterden
01
Conservation area matching
Where a roof is listed or within the conservation area, we match tile type and keep the existing roofline rather than altering it.
02
Shared and terraced roofs
Along the older streets, roofs and chimney stacks are often shared with the neighbouring property, which needs coordinating.
03
Access on busy streets
Scaffolding on the High Street and nearby lanes needs planning around parking and footfall, which we sort out before work starts.
