For period properties, we carefully source authentic Kent peg tiles, reclaimed clay tiles, or natural Welsh slates that preserve external character while introducing high-performance modern membranes to prevent interstitial condensation.

Answers to common questions regarding roof replacements, repairs, and regulations in Chatham.
How quickly can you attend to an emergency roof leak in Chatham?
Because our base in Ditton (ME20) is just 15–20 minutes from Chatham via the M2/A229, our rapid-response emergency repair team can usually attend same-day or within hours of your call to make your roof watertight and prevent interior ceiling damage.
Do I need Medway Council planning permission to replace my roof in Chatham?
In most instances, re-roofing falls under Permitted Development rights unless your property is a Listed Building or located inside a designated Conservation Area (such as Brompton or Rochester borders). However, any replacement involving more than 25% of the roof area must comply with Building Regulations Part L regarding thermal insulation efficiency. We handle all compliance specifications for you.
Which is better for my flat roof extension: GRP Fibreglass or EPDM Rubber?
Both systems outperform old traditional mineral felt. GRP fibreglass is ultra-tough, seamless, and ideal for balconies, roof terraces, or complex roof geometries. EPDM rubber is highly flexible, UV-resistant, and expands/contracts seamlessly through temperature changes on larger unobstructed extensions. We inspect your flat roof to recommend the optimal solution.
How do you price roof repairs and replacements?
We provide transparent, free, no-obligation quotations following a comprehensive on-site survey. We never use high-pressure sales techniques or hidden charges—everything from scaffolding and waste disposal to tile fixings and lead flashings is clearly specified upfront.
