Roof Repairs in Tenterden
Being based in Tenterden means a slipped tile or a leak in the town is usually the quickest job for us to reach.
Roof Repairs in Tenterden
Roofs in Tenterden take a battering from wind funnelling along the High Street and from the open farmland either side of the town. We're called out for lifted ridge tiles, cracked peg tiles and leaks that show up as a damp patch on a bedroom ceiling after a storm.
Because the housing stock is so mixed, no two repairs here look the same. A clay peg tile roof on a weatherboarded cottage needs a different approach to the Welsh slate on a Victorian villa, and we work out which materials and fixings match before climbing up.
Central Tenterden sits in a conservation area with many listed buildings, so handmade clay tiles and reclaimed slate are common. Newer estates on the edge of town use machine-made interlocking tiles, which fail differently and repair more simply.
Local knowledge
Common roof repair jobs in Tenterden
01
Storm-lifted ridge tiles
Exposed terraces near the High Street lose ridge and hip tiles in high wind. We re-bed them in fresh mortar rather than just resetting loose ones.
02
Peg tile slippage
Old oak pegs in handmade tiles rot over time and let tiles slide. We replace failed pegs and match tile colour where a roof is visible from the street.
03
Valley and gutter leaks
Older cottages with shallow valleys collect leaf litter from nearby trees, which backs water up under the tiles. Clearing and resealing the valley usually solves it.
