Roof Repairs in Cranbrook
Cranbrook's weatherboarded and tile-hung houses need repairs that respect the original materials, not just a quick patch.
Roof Repairs in Cranbrook
Cranbrook is a well-known Wealden town with a conservation area covering much of the centre, including the famous windmill and the streets around the High Street. Roofs here are often handmade clay tile or plain tile, laid at steep pitches typical of Wealden houses.
We're usually called out for slipped or cracked tiles after wind, leaks around chimney flashings on older cottages, and gutter overflow caused by leaf fall from the many mature trees around the town.
Central Cranbrook has a high concentration of listed timber-framed and weatherboarded buildings, many tile-hung on upper floors. Newer housing on the edges of town uses concrete or interlocking tiles that are more straightforward to repair.
Local knowledge
Common roof repair jobs in Cranbrook
01
Tile-hung wall repairs
Vertical tiling on upper storeys can crack and let water in behind the cladding, which needs the same care as roof tiling to repair properly.
02
Steep pitch access
The steep roof pitches typical of Wealden hall houses need careful scaffolding and ladder access, especially on older, uneven roof timbers.
03
Chimney flashing leaks
Many Cranbrook cottages have tall, exposed chimneys where lead flashing perishes over time and lets water track down into the roof space.
