Specialists in natural slate installations, Kent peg tiles, and meticulous roof repairs.

Not all slate issues require a full roof replacement. Many problems, such as individual slipped slates or damaged ridge tiles, can be resolved through targeted repairs. We frequently address issues caused by nail sickness, where original iron fixings have corroded over time. When we carry out repairs, we prioritise the use of professional-grade copper clout nails, which resist corrosion far better than the traditional iron nails found in older properties. By replacing failed fixings and ensuring each slate is properly secured with stainless steel tingles where necessary, we can significantly extend the lifespan of your existing roof.

When a full re-roof is required, our process begins with a detailed assessment of your rafters and timber condition. Given the humidity of the Medway Valley, ensuring the correct specification of breathable underlay is vital to prevent interstitial condensation. We strip the roof back to the rafters to perform a thorough structural inspection before installing a modern, BS 5250 compliant breathable membrane. We then install new treated battens and high-quality natural or synthetic slate. Every project involves meticulous leadwork, including the installation of new lead soakers and flashings at chimneys and abutments, to ensure your home remains completely weathertight against the elements.

Opting for natural slate is an investment in the long-term value and protection of your property. Slate is inherently fire-resistant, impervious to rot, and capable of lasting for well over a century with minimal maintenance. Beyond its incredible durability, it offers a timeless aesthetic that complements the local Kent landscape. For heritage properties or those located within conservation areas, we specialise in sourcing materials that match the traditional character of the building, such as Welsh slate or reclaimed options that provide a seamless blend with original features.

Working on a roof in Snodland often requires an understanding of local building regulations, particularly regarding thermal performance. When undertaking a re-roofing project, we ensure that the work meets the requirements of Part L of the Building Regulations, which often involves upgrading the thermal insulation within the roof space. If your property is situated in a conservation area or is a listed building, we work closely with you to ensure all material choices meet local planning requirements. Our team handles the technical compliance aspects, giving you peace of mind that your project is fully documented and built to last.
