Roofers in Folkestone

Height and exposure define roof work in Folkestone. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces built around the clifftop promenade run to four and five storeys, often with parapets, concealed gutters and slate above them, which means the most important part of the roof is the part nobody can see from the ground. A blocked parapet gutter at that height puts water straight into the structure, and inspecting it properly needs real access rather than a ladder and an optimistic look. The old town on the Bayle is older and lower, with tighter streets and smaller roof planes, and newer housing spreads inland behind both. Everything near the cliff takes salt and the full weight of Channel weather, so fixings and lead details wear faster than they would inland. Our approved roofers cover Folkestone, Sandgate and Hythe, and access is planned into the quotation rather than added later.
