Roofers in Gillingham

Much of Gillingham was laid out as New Brompton to house a workforce serving the naval dockyard, which is why the town has so many long, uniform runs of late Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Roofs like these behave as one structure rather than a series of separate ones. Valleys and gutters run continuously, chimney stacks sit on party walls and serve two houses, and a slipped slate at one end can put water into a neighbour's bedroom. Repairs therefore need agreement on access and scope before scaffolding is booked, particularly where a shared stack is involved. Many of these roofs were re-covered in concrete tile at some point, occasionally without anyone checking whether the rafters were sized for the extra weight. Our approved roofers work across Gillingham, Rainham and the rest of Medway, and boundary arrangements are settled first.
