Roofers in Ramsgate

One of the largest concentrations of Regency and early Victorian terraces on the Kent coast is here, arranged as the crescents and squares that were fashionable when Ramsgate was a royal resort. Thanet Council has Article 4 directions in place across the Ramsgate conservation areas, which removes some of the permitted development rights homeowners elsewhere take for granted, so alterations visible from the street can require consent even when the work looks routine. Structurally these terraces run to parapets with concealed gutters, complicated valley arrangements and natural slate, all standing on the clifftop above the harbour where salt and wind are constant. Slate here usually outlasts the nails holding it, so slipping slates on an otherwise sound roof point at the fixings. Consent requirements are checked before our approved roofers quote for anything.
