Roofing Specialists in Gravesend, DA11, DA12

Gravesend sits on the Thames and takes some serious weather — the estuary exposure means roofs here work harder than most. We work across DA11 and DA12, from the Victorian streets near the riverfront to the newer estates towards Singlewell and Riverview Park.

Local Building Stock

The town centre and riverside areas have Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing with slate and plain tile roofs, many of which have suffered from the harsher estuary exposure. The surrounding residential areas have the typical mix of inter-war and post-war housing with concrete tile roofs. Wind exposure is a bigger factor here than in more sheltered areas further from the Thames — fixing specifications need to account for this.
