New Pitched Roofs in Whitstable , Kent

If you have a few slipped tiles or a minor leak around a chimney, a repair is often enough. However, if the tiles are crumbling (delaminating), the timber battens have rotted, or the original felt has disintegrated, a new pitched roof is usually the most cost-effective long-term solution. Constant patch-up jobs on an old roof often end up costing more than a full replacement.

A standard three-bedroom semi-detached house usually takes between 5 to 10 working days, depending on the weather and the complexity of the roof. Larger Victorian villas in areas like Cliftonville or properties with multiple chimneys and dormers will take longer. We always give you a realistic timeline before we start.

In most cases, you do not need planning permission for a like-for-like roof replacement. However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building, you must check with your local council. If you are changing the height of the roof or the materials significantly, you will likely need formal approval.

Kent peg tiles are iconic to our region. They are small, handmade clay tiles that give historic cottages their unique character. While they require more labour to install than modern tiles, they are essential for preserving the value and look of period properties in the North Kent area.
