Roofers in Wittersham
Up on the Isle of Oxney, Wittersham's roofs take more weather than most. We know what that does to a roof.
Roofing in Wittersham
Wittersham sits on the high ground of the Isle of Oxney, with the Rother Levels dropping away on every side. That open position is lovely to live in but hard on roofs: wind-driven rain finds any gap in the leadwork and storms test every ridge and verge.
Many of the homes here are spread out along the lanes, with farms and oast houses between them. We're used to longer access routes, soft ground for ladders and scaffolding, and planning work around the weather.
Period cottages and farmhouses under clay tiles, several oast houses with their distinctive roundel or square kiln roofs, and a scattering of twentieth-century houses. Height and exposure make sound leadwork, bedded ridges and secure verges especially important.
Local knowledge
Roofing on the Isle of Oxney
01
Wind-driven rain
Leaks here often come in sideways through flashings and abutments rather than through tiles. We trace the water back before suggesting a fix.
02
Oast house roofs
Kiln roofs are steep and curved, with tiles cut to taper. They need patience and the right materials, not a general approach.
03
Storm checks
After high winds we get calls about lifted tiles and loose ridges. A photo on WhatsApp helps us judge how urgent it is.

From the trade
Questions from Wittersham homeowners
Do you work on oast house roofs?
Yes. Kiln roofs need a careful hand and tapered tiles, and we're happy to look at repairs or full re-tiling.
Why does my roof only leak in certain winds?
That usually points to flashing, lead or verge problems rather than tiles. We'll check the exposed side first.
Do you cover Stone and the rest of the Isle of Oxney?
Yes, Wittersham, Stone-cum-Ebony and the surrounding farms.
