Rochester Roofers Who Know Older Roofs
Rochester has plenty of roofs older than the people repairing them, and they do not take kindly to a quick fix. Slate wants different handling from plain clay tile, and lead that has been patched with mastic will fail again within a winter or two.
We work on period property regularly. That means matching what is already up there rather than covering it with whatever is on the van, and it means knowing when materials need consent before they change. Parts of Rochester sit in conservation areas, and we check where you stand before anything is ordered - not after it is on the roof.
Repairs, full re-roofs, chimney work, lead valleys and flashings, flat roofs on rear extensions and roofline work. All of it is day-to-day for us.

What you get from us
Why People In Rochester Call Us
We match what is already there
Slate, plain tile, pantile or lead. When the repair is finished it should be hard to spot from the street, not a patch in a different colour.
We check what is allowed first
If the roof sits in a conservation area or the property is listed, changing materials can need consent. We establish that first, rather than after the work is done.
One itemised price, in writing
You see the full cost before anything starts, broken down so you know what you are paying for. Nothing gets added partway through.
Roofing Work We Do In Rochester
We cover pitched and flat roof work on homes right across Rochester, including:

- Re-roofing - stripped, inspected, re-battened, felted and re-covered in a matching material.
- Chimney repairs - repointing, new flaunching, lead flashing and full rebuilds.
- Leadwork - valleys, soakers, flashings and parapet gutters, dressed properly rather than sealed.

If the property is listed or sits in a conservation area, mention it when you call and we will factor it in from the start rather than halfway through.
Common questions
Rochester Roofing Questions We Get Asked
Yes. Both usually mean replacing like for like, and changing the material or the roof line can need consent. We will tell you where you stand before anything is ordered, and we quote for materials that will be accepted rather than ones that have to come back off again.
In most cases, yes - either with reclaimed material or a close modern equivalent. We will show you the options and be straight with you about how good the match will be before you commit to anything.
Quickly. We are based in Gillingham, a few minutes away. An active leak gets priority over everything else, because water sitting in the timbers gets expensive fast.
Always, and itemised. We do not quote a roof over the phone, because nobody can see a roof over the phone.
Most of the time, a repair. A roof needs replacing when the covering itself has reached the end - slates slipping in several places, battens failing underneath, or the same leak appearing somewhere new each winter. One bad flashing is not that, and we will say so.
That comes down to the lease and the freehold, and we cannot answer it for you. What we can do is quote the work so a freeholder, a managing agent or a group of leaseholders can all work from the same document.
