Slate and Tile Roofing in Folkestone, CT18 to CT20
Salt air attacks slate nails long before it attacks the slate. Nail sickness is the usual reason a sound-looking coastal roof starts shedding tiles.
Covering Folkestone and the surrounding CT18 to CT20 postcode area. Your approved roofer provides a written quote with the scope set out before any work starts, and will raise anything found once the covering is lifted before carrying on.

Why Choose Us for Slate and Tile Roofing in Folkestone
We cover Folkestone and the CT18 to CT20 postcode areas. The rest of Folkestone and Hythe is covered too, so an address just outside the town is still in range. Our approved roofing specialists handle slate and tile roofing in Folkestone, and they are fully insured and appropriately qualified for work at height. We do not quote for slate and tile roofing without seeing the roof first, and the quote sets the scope out in writing rather than handing you a bare figure. Slates usually outlast their nails, so slipping slates on an otherwise sound roof point at the fixings rather than at the slate.
Slipping Slates, Sound Slates
Slate commonly outlasts the nails holding it. Where the fixings have corroded the answer is stripping and re-fixing, because patching just chases the next slate down.
Matched, Not Substituted
Replacement slate and tile are matched to what is already there for size, gauge and colour. A modern substitute on a period roof shows from the street.
Reclaim Where It Is Worth It
Sound slate and handmade tile are worth setting aside and re-using. What can be reclaimed is separated during stripping rather than skipped by default.
Access Sorted Before The Date
Most roof work needs scaffolding or a tower, and it is arranged as part of the job rather than left for you to organise. Where access crosses a neighbour's ground, that is agreed before anything goes up.
The Site Left As It Was Found
Old tiles, felt and nails come off the roof and go with us. Gardens, drives and gutters are cleared at the end of each day rather than only at the end of the job.
Answerable After The Scaffold Comes Down
Finishing the job is not the end of it. If something is not right once the scaffold is down, you call the same number you called first and it gets looked at.
Serving the Area
Five storey clifftop terraces, where what sits behind the parapet decides whether the building stays dry.
