A roof replacement in Tenterden is a heritage project. The Wealden market town's period tile-hung and peg-tile stock, in a conservation setting, means a re-roof must use matched reclaimed materials, reproduce the traditional detailing, and often secure consent first — careful, sympathetic work rather than a quick strip-and-recover.
The signs a Tenterden roof needs attention are familiar enough: tiles slipping across entire slopes, not just in isolated spots; perished or torn underlay felt visible from inside the loft; repeated repairs that fix one area while the next fails - common on Stanhope and Bockhanger concrete tile stock.
On Tenterden's Wealden roofs, the signs a re-roof is due are peg tiles slipping across whole slopes, failing tile-hanging over rotting battens, and perished underlay. On conservation-area stock, plan ahead — a heritage re-roof needs matched reclaimed materials and often consent, so it's best not left until the roof fails completely.
The judgement that matters in a Tenterden re-roof is reproducing Wealden detailing in matched reclaimed materials — and, first, being honest about whether a re-roof is genuinely needed or a repair will do.
When it is not needed: A sound roof with one failed valley or a handful of slipped tiles does not need replacing - any roofer pushing a full re-roof for a localised fault is not acting in your interest. More on repair versus replacement.
On Tenterden's Wealden roofs around the High Street, Oaks Road and Golden Square, a full re-roof means stripping the peg tiles or plain tiles, assessing and repairing the historic timbers, and re-covering in matched reclaimed clay peg tiles, with tile-hanging renewed by hand where it features. The lead valleys, flashings and traditional detailing are all renewed. The conservation setting shapes the materials and may require consent.
A recent Oaks Road re-roof was pure Tenterden heritage work: a Wealden property re-covered in reclaimed clay peg tiles with the tile-hanging renewed by hand, the lead detailing reproduced traditionally, and conservation consent handled throughout. The re-roof keeps the property's Wealden character exactly as it should.
We work Tenterden every week, so a re-roof here is carried out by a team that knows High Street, Oaks Road, Golden Square and the local stock first-hand — the right covering, fixings and detailing specified for the roofs on these streets, not a one-size approach.

A Tenterden re-roof has to be treated as the conservation work it is. Machine-made tiles or the wrong detailing on a Wealden roof stand out badly and can breach conservation requirements, and the tile-hanging that defines so much of the town's character needs reproducing by hand. We source reclaimed peg tiles, renew the tile-hanging and traditional detailing by hand, renew the lead traditionally, and handle any consent — a re-roof that keeps the market town's character intact and is built to last for generations, not one that cheapens a heritage roof.
We survey the roof and loft, confirm a re-roof is genuinely needed, and establish the conservation or listed-building consent position — on Tenterden Wealden stock, consent and reclaimed-material sourcing shape the project from the start.
You get a detailed quote specifying reclaimed clay peg tiles, hand-renewed tile-hanging where it features, and traditional lead detailing, with realistic lead-time for sourcing and consent.
We carefully strip the peg tiles and tile-hanging, salvaging reusable materials, and assess the historic timbers and battens beneath, which Wealden roofs often reveal need attention.
