Two miles from our base, with some of the oldest cottages we work on.
Roofing in Small Hythe
Small Hythe is practically on our doorstep: a hamlet of timber-framed and weatherboarded cottages along the old shipbuilding street, a couple of miles south of Tenterden.
Houses this old need roofers who understand them. Peg tiles, lime mortar, oak pegs and leadwork done the traditional way keep these cottages dry without spoiling them.
Small Hythe is almost entirely older properties: listed timber-framed and weatherboarded cottages with handmade clay peg tile roofs, prominent brick chimneys and, in places, tile-hung walls. The whole hamlet sits within the Tenterden conservation area's orbit.
Local knowledge
Working on Small Hythe cottages
01
Handmade peg tiles
We match reclaimed handmade tiles and traditional fixing so repairs disappear into the roof.
02
Old chimney stacks
Centuries-old stacks need gentle repointing in suitable mortar, not hard modern cement.
03
Low eaves and access
Cottage eaves are low and gardens are tight. We plan access carefully to protect the building and the planting.
