Expert roofing services across ME1, ME2. 18+ years of experience, 15-year guarantee with insurance-backed protection. Free inspections and quotes.
Rochester is one of Kent’s most historic cities, and the roofscape reflects centuries of building. The conservation area around the Cathedral and High Street features Georgian and early Victorian properties with natural slate, handmade clay tile, and traditional lead detailing — work that demands specialist knowledge. Beyond the historic centre, the residential streets of Borstal, Strood, and Frindsbury have a more typical mix of inter-war and post-war housing with their own set of roofing issues. We cover all of ME1 and ME2 and have extensive experience working with both period and modern roofing across Rochester.
The conservation area properties around Rochester High Street, Minor Canon Row, and The Vines typically feature steeply pitched Kent peg tile or natural slate roofs with complex lead detailing at dormer cheeks, valley intersections, and chimney abutments. Many are listed or within the conservation zone, meaning materials and methods need to match the existing character. Outside the historic core, Borstal and Strood have large numbers of 1930s–50s hipped concrete tile roofs, while newer developments around Rochester Riverside and Strood Waterfront bring modern single ply and standing seam specifications.
Based on our extensive experience working across ME1, ME2, these are the issues we see most frequently:
