Professional roofing services for homeowners across Royal Tunbridge Wells, Hastings and surrounding areas.

Residential Roofing, Done Properly

Every roof is different, and so is every job. A slipped slate on a Victorian terrace is a different problem from a flat roof on a modern extension, and both call for a different approach.

We inspect the roof properly before recommending anything, then give you a written, itemised quotation. If a repair will do the job, we will tell you that — a replacement only makes sense when the roof genuinely needs one.

What We Do

Our Roofing Services

Six core services covering everything from a single slipped tile to a complete new roof.

New Roofs

A new roof is a significant investment, so it is worth getting the detail right from the start. We assess the existing structure, the pitch of the roof and how exposed the property is, then specify a covering and underlay system that suits the building rather than whatever happens to be cheapest.

Problems It Solves

  • A roof that has reached the end of its working life
  • Repeated leaks that keep returning after patch repairs
  • Sagging or deteriorating roof structure beneath the covering
  • An extension or new build that needs a roof from scratch

What You Get

  • A covering specified to suit the property and its exposure
  • Correct ventilation and underlay fitted as part of the job
  • Tidy working, with the site cleared on completion
  • A written, itemised quotation before any work begins

Roof Repairs

Most roofing problems start small. A single slipped slate or a failed flashing lets water in slowly, and by the time it shows as a damp patch on a ceiling the damage underneath is often more advanced than it looks. We find the actual source rather than patching over the symptom.

Problems It Solves

  • Damp patches or water stains on ceilings and walls
  • Slipped, cracked or missing tiles and slates
  • Leaking or perished flashings around chimneys and valleys
  • Storm damage and debris blocking gutters

What You Get

  • The cause diagnosed properly, not just covered over
  • Small jobs treated with the same care as large ones
  • Repairs that protect the timbers and ceilings below
  • Clear advice on whether a repair is the right call

Roof Replacements

When a roof has failed across a wide area, or the underlay and battens have perished, repairing it piece by piece becomes false economy. A full strip and re-cover lets us put the whole roof right at once — covering, underlay, battens, ventilation and flashings.

Problems It Solves

  • Widespread tile or slate failure across the whole roof
  • Perished underlay that has become brittle and torn
  • Rotten battens or fixings that no longer hold
  • A roof that leaks in several places at once

What You Get

  • The whole roof brought up to a consistent standard
  • Underlay, battens and ventilation renewed together
  • Fewer return visits than repeated piecemeal repairs
  • A clear, itemised quotation covering the full scope

Slate Roofing

Slate suits period and character properties particularly well, giving a smooth, fine-grained finish that tiles cannot match. It is also a material that rewards careful work — the fixings, the coursing and the detailing around valleys and chimneys all have to be right.

Problems It Solves

  • Delaminated or slipping slates on an ageing roof
  • Failed mortar around ridge and hip details
  • Leaks at valleys and abutments on period properties
  • Mismatched patching from previous repair work

What You Get

  • Natural and man-made slates available to suit the property
  • Work carried out sympathetically to period features
  • Detailing at valleys, ridges and abutments done properly
  • A finish that suits the age and character of the building

Tiled Roofing

Tiles remain the most common roof covering on British homes, and for good reason — they are hard-wearing and forgiving. Concrete and clay tiles differ in weight and appearance, so which one suits your property depends on the structure beneath and the look you want.

Problems It Solves

  • Cracked, porous or frost-damaged tiles
  • Slipped tiles leaving the underlay exposed
  • Crumbling mortar along ridge and verge lines
  • Moss and lichen build-up holding moisture against the roof

What You Get

  • Concrete and clay options matched to the property
  • Ridge, hip and verge detailing renewed where needed
  • Old tiles replaced like-for-like where possible
  • A covering that sheds water reliably for years

Flat Roofing

A flat roof lives or dies by its detailing. The membrane itself matters, but so do the seams, the upstands where the roof meets the wall, and the outlets where water leaves. Get those wrong and even a good material will fail early.

Problems It Solves

  • Ponding water that cannot drain away properly
  • Blistering or perished felt on an ageing flat roof
  • Leaks at upstands and around roof outlets
  • Failed seams along joins in the membrane

What You Get

  • Modern membrane systems suited to extensions and garages
  • Seams and upstands detailed properly, not rushed
  • Drainage and outlets checked so water clears
  • A roof specified for the building rather than the cheapest option

FAQ

Roofing Service Questions

Common questions about our roofing services. If yours is not here, call us and we will answer it directly.

Speak to a Roofer

How do I know which service I need?

You do not have to work that out on your own. Describe what you are seeing — a damp patch, a slipped tile, a roof that looks tired — and we will come out, inspect the roof properly and tell you which option makes sense. Sometimes the answer is a straightforward repair rather than a replacement.

Do you take on small roof repairs?

Yes. A single slipped slate or a failed flashing is worth fixing properly before it causes damage to the timbers and ceilings below. Small jobs receive the same care as large ones.

How long does a new roof take?

It depends on the size of the roof, its pitch and complexity, and what the weather allows. Once we have inspected the property we will give you a realistic timescale with your quotation rather than an optimistic guess.

Can you repair a roof rather than replace it?

Often, yes. If the covering has failed in one area but the rest of the roof is sound, a targeted repair is the sensible option and we will say so. A replacement only makes better financial sense when the failure is widespread or the underlay and battens have perished.

What causes a flat roof to fail early?

Usually detailing rather than the membrane itself — seams that were rushed, upstands that were not formed properly, or drainage that lets water sit on the surface. We check all of those, not just the covering.

Do you provide written quotations?

Always. You get a written, itemised quotation before any work begins, so you can see exactly what is being proposed and what it will cost.
