From a single slipped tile on a Bockhanger semi to a full re-roof on a Victorian terrace in Newtown — we cover every roofing job across Ashford and Kent.
Missing tiles, failed flashings, cracked valleys. The most common calls we handle are nail sickness on Bockhanger and Stanhope estates and lead flashing failures on Victorian terraces near Church Road. Free call-out.
Full details →Full re-roofs across all housing eras. The 1960s concrete interlocking tile stock on Stanhope and Bockhanger is now well past its design life — we replace these properly, with new battens, underlay and modern tile systems.
Full details →GRP fibreglass and EPDM flat roofing for extensions, garages and outbuildings. Park Farm and Singleton extensions are a major focus — most were built with felt systems now past service life.
Full details →Storm damage, sudden leaks, structural concerns? 24/7 call-outs across Ashford. East Kent's channel corridor exposure means post-storm calls spike hard — we carry dedicated emergency capacity year-round.
Call now →Ashford's Stour valley floor and heavy tree canopy around Willesborough create a reliable annual blockage problem. We clear, repair and replace guttering systems to protect your home from water damage.
Full details →Repointing, lead flashing, pot replacements and full chimney rebuilds. Victorian terraces around Church Road and Bank Street generate the bulk of our chimney work — frost-damaged lime pointing and failed original lead.
Full details →uPVC and timber fascias, soffits and bargeboards renewed across Ashford. We honestly assess capping versus replacement on the post-war estates, and always fit ventilated soffit to protect the loft on older stock.
Full details →Soft-wash moss removal and biocide treatment in Ashford — never pressure-washed. The Stour valley humidity feeds heavy growth on north-facing slopes; zinc strips prevent regrowth for years.
Full details →Velux rooflights, skylights and dormer windows supplied and fitted across Ashford, matched to your tile profile with the correct flashing kit so they never leak. Ideal for the town's loft conversions.
Full details →Code 5 lead flashings, valleys, soakers and bay tops for Ashford roofs, hand-dressed and patination-treated. Essential on the Victorian terraces around Church Road where original lead has failed.
Full details →Natural slate repair, matching and re-roofing in Ashford, including reclaimed slate for period and conservation homes. Careful matching keeps the character of the town's older slated properties.
Full details →Roof surveys, drone inspections and pre-purchase reports in Ashford. Our surveys catch the hidden nail sickness on estate roofs that homebuyer reports miss — fee credited against any work booked.
Full details →We've been fixing roofs across Ashford since 2003.

Ashford is a town of distinct housing eras with different roofing demands. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the Newtown area and around Church Road carry original clay tile and Welsh slate requiring like-for-like matching. The sprawling post-war estates at Bockhanger and Stanhope present a different picture: 1960s concrete interlocking tiles now reaching end of design life, with systemic nail sickness causing widespread slippage.
The newer developments at Park Farm and Singleton bring steady flat roof replacement work — most were built with felt systems now past their service life. The Stour valley's low-lying position creates frost pocket conditions in winter that accelerate deterioration of pointing and flashings across all housing types.
Nail sickness on Bockhanger and Stanhope 1960s estates is our most common repair call. Lead flashing failures on Victorian terraces near Church Road are a close second. In autumn, blocked valleys from the heavy tree canopy around Willesborough Village cause most of the leak calls we attend. These are Ashford-specific patterns, not generic roofing problems.

Ashford's Victorian terraces around Newtown and Church Road often have rear access only, so scaffold and skip placement need planning; the post-war estates at Bockhanger and Stanhope have driveways that usually take a skip without a permit. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Ashford Borough Council; allow a few working days on streets like the terraces around Newtown, Bank Street, the older lanes off Beaver Road where space is tight.
Based in Ashford, covering a 20-mile radius across Kent. Same-day and emergency cover across all listed areas.
"Our 1960s semi on Bockhanger had a dozen slipping tiles — classic nail sickness. They came the same day I called, gave a straight quote and had it sorted within the week. No fuss, no surprises on the invoice."
"Full chimney flashing re-do on our Victorian terrace near Church Road. Two other roofers quoted but these were the only ones who could match the original lead profile. Excellent work throughout."
"New GRP flat roof on our rear extension at Park Farm. Done in a day and a half, on budget. They spotted a cracked ridge tile while on the roof and sorted it without charging extra."
Ashford's housing stock is diverse in a way that directly affects the roofing work it generates. The town's Victorian core in the Newtown area, the 1930s semis of Kennington, the large post-war estates of Bockhanger, Stanhope and Park Farm, and the rapid modern growth of Park Farm North and the newer estates all present different roofing challenges. Understanding which era of housing a property belongs to is the starting point for any roofing assessment.
The largest single repair cohort in Ashford today is the 1960s and 1970s concrete interlocking tile estate housing. These properties are now 50–65 years old, and the galvanised steel nail fixings used to fix the tiles to the battens have corroded on a significant proportion of unmodified properties. The result — known as nail sickness — is tiles that are retained by gravity rather than fixings, prone to displacement in any significant wind event. Estates at Bockhanger, Stanhope, Singleton and Park Farm produce the majority of our repair and re-roofing enquiries.
The Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Ashford's Newtown area and along Norman Road carry clay plain tiles or clay peg tiles on steep pitches. These properties are 100–140 years old. The original clay tiles on many of these houses are still in serviceable condition where they have not been disturbed. Repairs on Victorian clay tile roofs require matching clay — we hold stocks of reclaimed Kent clay tile for this purpose. Chimney stacks on these properties are lime-mortared and require lime-based mortar in any repointing work to avoid spalling the soft Victorian brick.
Kennington and parts of Willesborough contain significant numbers of 1930s semi-detached properties. These were built with either clay plain tile or early concrete tile on timber battens and traditional felt underlay. Properties in this cohort are now reaching the point where the underlying felt has perished and the tile fixings need assessment. They are not yet at the systemic nail sickness stage of the 1960s–70s properties, but a survey that identifies underlay condition is worthwhile on any 1930s property that has not had roofing work in the last 20 years.
We are a family-run roofing business based in Ashford, covering the town and the surrounding Kent area. We have been working on roofs in this area since 2003. Our team knows Ashford's housing stock intimately — we have repaired and re-roofed properties on most of the town's estates and streets, and the experience of that local work informs every survey and quote we carry out.
We do not subcontract work. The team that quotes is the team that works. This matters for continuity on larger jobs and for accountability on every job — if something is not right, the people who did the work are available to address it.
We are registered with the National Federation of Roofing Contractors. NFRC registration requires demonstrating competence, carrying adequate insurance (minimum £5m public liability), and operating within the NFRC's code of practice. It is the most reliable single indicator of a professional roofing contractor in the UK market. Our NFRC registration can be verified at nfrc.co.uk.
We carry £5m public liability insurance on every job. We provide a copy of our insurance certificate to any customer who requests it before work starts. Uninsured roofing work leaves the homeowner liable for any damage or injury that occurs during the job. This is not a theoretical risk — falls and property damage happen in roofing and insurance protects against both. Always verify insurance before any roofing contractor begins work on your property.
| Job | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Roof repair | £150 - £900 | Scope-dependent |
| Flat roofing | £800 - £5,500 | Garage to large extension |
| Guttering | £80 - £2,500 | Clean to full roofline |
| Chimney repairs | £150 - £2,500 | Flashing to rebuild |
| Full re-roof | £4,000 - £16,000 | Concrete to natural slate |
Worked example: a full re-roof on a 1960s Bockhanger semi in concrete interlocking tile, with new membrane, stainless fixings, scaffold and waste, lands around £5,800.
No deposit on repairs under £500; staged payments on larger jobs with nothing due before materials are on site. VAT included in every quote.
Covering TN23, TN24, TN25 and surrounding postcodes.
Every job carries a written, transferable 10-year workmanship guarantee; materials carry their own manufacturer warranties on top.
If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
How disruptive a job is depends on its size - a repair is a few quiet hours, a re-roof is a noisy week with scaffold - but you can stay in the house throughout and we protect the property. Most of this work is outside, so being home is optional — just sort access and any power we will need beforehand.
Most work runs year-round; we plan around the weather and weatherproof if rain interrupts. Ashford's low-lying Stour valley position holds damp and frost, drying slowly in the colder months — so we allow realistic weather margin on every booking here.
Whatever the job, we sheet what needs protecting, keep one side of the property clear for you, and never leave waste behind for you to deal with.Most repairs in Ashford cost between £150 and £500. Slipped concrete tiles on Bockhanger estate properties fall at the lower end; valley or chimney flashing work on Victorian terraces in Newtown can reach £600-900. Free itemised quotes before any work begins.
