Roofers in Pluckley
A picturesque Wealden village of weatherboarded cottages and oast houses, well known beyond Kent.
Roofing in Pluckley
Pluckley has a reputation that brings in visitors, but for us it's simply one of the more characterful villages we cover, with weatherboarded cottages, brick farmhouses and converted oast houses spread across the parish. The village centre and the outlying hamlets of Pluckley Thorne and Smarden Bell all have their own roofing quirks.
Oast conversions in particular need an understanding of how the original kiln roofs and cowls were built, since repairs have to respect that shape rather than treat it as an ordinary pitched roof.
Weatherboarded and tile-hung cottages sit along the village street, with oast houses and farmhouses on the surrounding land. Handmade clay peg tiles are common on older roofs, and conical oast roofs with their cowls need specialist repair.
Local knowledge
What stands out in Pluckley
01
Oast house roofs
Conical kiln roofs and their cowls need repairs that respect the original shape and construction, not a standard pitched approach.
02
Handmade peg tiles
Many older roofs use traditional clay peg tiles, which need matching stock when repairs are carried out.
03
Scattered hamlets
Pluckley parish includes outlying hamlets like Pluckley Thorne, so jobs can be spread over a wider area than the village centre alone.
