Spray Foam Insulation Removal
Spray foam applied to the underside of roof rafters can trap interstitial condensation, accelerating timber rot and causing mortgage lenders or equity release providers to decline applications. We provide methodical, damage-free spray foam removal, structural moisture testing, and breathable roof reinstatement.
Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal
Heavy moss accumulation retains freeze-thaw moisture that cracks tiles and blocks gutter runs. Our gentle manual scraping and biocide wash treatments eliminate lichen and organic matter without damaging tile glaze or dislodging delicate pointing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about booking our roofing and property maintenance services.
How quickly can you attend to an active roof leak?
We prioritise urgent water ingress and storm damage throughout Kent and surrounding areas. In many situations, we can arrange same-day or next-day emergency attendance to inspect the roof, make the building safe, and install temporary tarpaulins or emergency seals before quoting for permanent repairs.
Do you provide free written estimates?
Yes. All our initial site visits, drone or ladder roof assessments, and project consultations are completely free of charge and carry no obligation. We supply comprehensive itemised quotes explaining all required materials and labour.
What is the difference between EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass for flat roofs?
Both offer exceptional lifespans exceeding 25–30 years. EPDM is a flexible, seamless single-ply synthetic rubber ideal for larger roof spans and roofs with slight movement. GRP fibreglass cures to a hard, seamless composite skin that is ideal for complex roof shapes, balconies, and dormers where high impact resistance and neat perimeter trims are needed.
Do I need planning permission to replace my roof?
In most cases, replacing like-for-like roof coverings falls under Permitted Development and does not require planning permission. However, if your home is a listed building, located within a designated conservation area, or you are substantially altering the roof height or pitch, local authority consent may be required. We can advise on local planning guidelines.
