Roofers in Kilndown

Set among the woods near Bedgebury, Kilndown is a small village with roofs shaped by shade, damp and old trees.

Roofing in Kilndown

Kilndown sits close to Bedgebury Forest, with the village built around its church and a scatter of cottages and larger houses hidden among the trees. The woodland setting is attractive but it keeps roofs shaded and damp for longer after rain than more open villages.

We don't come out this way as often as to our closer villages, so we're upfront that it's towards the edge of our usual range and that fitting work in can depend on what else we have booked nearby.

Victorian and Edwardian houses built in the picturesque style, alongside older cottages, mostly under clay tile or slate. Heavy tree cover brings moss, damp and debris that shorten the life of gutters and valleys.

Local knowledge

Woodland village roofing

01

Shade and damp

Tree cover keeps roofs wetter for longer, encouraging moss growth that we clear before it works its way under tiles.

02

Slate roofs

Several Victorian houses here have slate rather than clay tile, which needs different fixings and handling when repairing.

03

Falling branches

Mature trees close to roofs occasionally cause cracked tiles or damaged gutters after storms.

Questions from Kilndown homeowners

Do you cover Kilndown even though it's further out?

Yes, though it's at the edge of our normal area, so timing can depend on what else is on that week.

Can you repair a slate roof rather than a tiled one?

Yes, we work with both slate and clay tile and use the right fixings for each.

Does moss need treating or just removing?

Usually just a careful clear is enough, but we'll flag if moss has damaged tiles underneath.
