What to Expect When We Visit Your Property in Ashford
We ensure every site visit is methodical, straightforward, and respectful of your home. Whether you suspect hidden damp or face visible structural displacement after gale-force weather, here is how our inspection and work order process works:
Initial Roof Assessment
We attend your property to carry out a comprehensive visual appraisal from ground level and ladder access. We inspect tile courses, valley gutters, hip irons, and lead abutments to pinpoint the root source of water ingress.
Clear Written Specification
You receive a transparent diagnosis detailing the required remedy—from individual slipped concrete tiles or defective lead flashing to timber batten decay or underlay tears—along with a straightforward guide price.
Practical Completion
Our roofers execute repairs using quality breathable membranes, treated roofing battens, and appropriate profile-matched tiles or flat roof systems. We leave your site tidy and dispose of removed debris responsibly.
Primary Roofing Work We Carry Out in Ashford
From traditional vernacular housing to modern extensions, our team delivers specialist repairs and installations suited to the local housing stock.
Tiled & Pitched Roof Repairs
Replacing cracked interlocking concrete profiles, securing slipped clay units, and renewing damaged battens or perished bituminous felt on family homes across the district.
Heritage Clay & Slate Works
Handling traditional Kent peg tile repairs on historic cottages, alongside slate re-fixing, copper nail renewals, and valley work on Victorian brick properties.
Flat Roof Replacement
Curing persistent pooling and seam splits on domestic dormers, kitchen extensions, and detached garages using heavy-duty EPDM rubber or multi-layer torch-on membranes.
Lead Flashing & Abutments
Dressing fresh Code 4 and Code 5 lead soakers and step flashing around chimneys, parapets, and lean-to brick abutments to stop driven rainwater penetrating cavity walls.
Chimney Repointing & Stability
Raking out loose mortar, repointing exposed stacks, securing loose chimney pots, and replacing deteriorated flaunching to keep masonry stable against high winds.
Gutters, Fascias & Roofline
Replacing leaking box and half-round uPVC gutters, realigning bracket falls, and renewing rotted timber fascia boards to prevent damp penetrating rafter ends.
Dealing With Emergency Roof Leaks in Ashford
When strong weather fronts roll across Kent, dislodged ridge tiles, blown lead aprons, or blocked concealed gutters can allow gallons of rainwater into roof voids in a matter of hours. This can quickly saturate plasterboard ceilings, soak loft insulation, and damage internal fixtures.
Whitstable and Thanet Roofing Ltd provides responsive call-out support to make properties structurally safe and watertight. Our first goal on arrival is swift containment—installing temporary heavy-duty tarpaulins, clearing structural debris, or re-seating displaced tiles—before furnishing you with a clear appraisal for permanent reinstatement.
Ashford Roofing FAQs
How quickly can you attend a roof repair in Ashford?
For scheduled visits and roof inspections, we arrange arrival times that fit around your commitments, usually within a few days of initial enquiry. For acute weather emergencies, water ingress, or dangerous masonry, we dispatch team members promptly from our Yorkletts hub to seal the property and prevent progressive damage.
Do you take on minor tile repairs as well as complete re-roofs?
Yes. A significant portion of our work involves small, critical repairs: replacing individual cracked tiles, resolving lead flashing splits around chimney aprons, and rebedding displaced ridge capping. Starting guide prices for minor roof repairs begin from £150, subject to an in-person site assessment.
Will I need Building Regulations approval if I replace my roof covering?
Under current Building Regulations (Part L), if more than 25% of a roof covering is completely stripped and replaced, thermal insulation levels must generally be upgraded to current standards, requiring notification or certification through local building control. We explain these requirements upfront during major overhaul quotes.
Can you match existing clay or concrete tiles on older properties?
Yes. When attending properties in Ashford, we source profile-matched clay or concrete interlocking units through trusted Kent reclamation yards and merchant networks to ensure seamless repairs that blend naturally into your existing roofline.
