Tenterden is one of those Wealden towns where the building style says a lot about its history. Weatherboarded facades, tile-hung upper storeys, and steep-pitched roofs are common on the older properties along the high street and surrounding lanes, and they all need a slightly different approach to repair than a standard brick-built roof.
As experienced roofing contractors, Hibbs Roofing and Building Ltd understands how these traditional roof structures were built and what keeps them performing well decades later. Original timber roofs need careful assessment before any repair work starts, since a fix that ignores how the structure was originally put together can cause more problems than it solves.
We work across the whole of Tenterden and the surrounding areas, so whether your property sits on the high street or out towards the edge of town, we’re not far away.
Every roof in Tenterden comes with its own set of considerations, whether that’s age, material, or how exposed it is to the open countryside around the town. Here’s what we offer to keep properties here properly maintained.
From a few loose tiles to a full replacement, we handle the job carefully, particularly on period roofs where original materials matter.
Older timber roof structures are prone to damp if left unchecked. We find where moisture is getting in and deal with the cause, not just the symptom.
Many Tenterden properties still have their original chimney stacks. We repoint failing mortar to stop water tracking into the roof space below.
Poor guttering leads to water pooling against fascias and causing rot over time. We install and repair these to keep water flowing away properly.
Extensions on newer Tenterden properties often use flat roofing. We fit and maintain durable membrane systems designed to last.
Flashing around chimneys and roof valleys wears down over time on older buildings. We repair and renew it to keep these points fully watertight.
