Roofers in Ashford

Few Kent towns have changed shape as fast as Ashford. Victorian housing built for the railway works at Newtown stands within walking distance of estates finished in the last decade, and the two present entirely different problems. The older terraces carry slate on original battens, where the usual failure is corroded nails rather than broken slate, and replacements need matching for size and gauge. The newer estates are almost all concrete interlocking tile, where the weak points are dry verges, ridge systems and the shallow pitches over porches and garages. Between the two sit interwar and post-war semis with clay tiles reaching the end of their working lives, while the countryside around Ashford adds oast and farmhouse roofs in peg tile. Our approved roofers work across all of it, and the first thing they establish on any roof here is what it is actually covered in and how old the fixings are.
