Roofers in Bodiam

Best known for its castle, Bodiam also has a quiet scatter of cottages and farms we look after along the Rother.

Roofing in Bodiam

Bodiam sits where the River Rother loops round below the castle, with the village itself a small cluster of houses, a pub and farms spreading out towards the Sussex border. It's an easy trip from Tenterden and we treat it as part of our regular patch.

Properties here range from brick and tile-hung cottages near the station to farmhouses on raised ground above the flood plain. Damp air off the river and low-lying land mean gutters and ground-level brickwork need as much attention as the tiles themselves.

Mostly nineteenth-century brick cottages under clay or concrete tile, with a handful of older timber-framed farmhouses further out. Many sit close to the Rother flood plain, so damp-proofing at eaves and gutter level matters more than in drier villages.

Local knowledge

What we watch for in Bodiam

Riverside damp

Low ground near the Rother keeps timber and brickwork damper for longer after rain, so we check eaves and gutters carry water well clear of the walls.

Older cottage roofs

Many roofs here have been patched over the years with mixed tiles. We sort what's sound before deciding whether a repair or a re-lay makes more sense.

Farm outbuildings

Several properties have a barn or store alongside the house, often sheeted or tiled, that gets forgotten until it leaks.

Yes, it's within easy reach of Tenterden so a single slipped tile or a gutter job is no trouble.

Can you deal with damp patches near the river?

Yes. We look at gutters, eaves and flashing first, since riverside damp often starts there rather than in the tiles.

Yes, tiled and sheeted outbuilding roofs are a regular part of our work in this area.
