Area guide · Kent
Gravesham Borough Council highlights surviving slate roofs as part of the character of its conservation areas and recommends sympathetic repair of historic details. Its guidance distinguishes Gravesend’s town-centre and nineteenth-century suburban areas: the address matters when planning changes, not just the town name.
Roofers Medway is the roofing company you contact directly. We cover Gravesend as part of our service across Kent and Medway. Tell us what you have noticed; we will discuss the work with you and provide a free written quote, with no obligation to proceed.
Ask whether the issue is a small number of slipped or broken slates, deteriorating fixings, or wider failure. A repair and a complete renewal have different scopes; the condition of the roof needs to be established before deciding.
Discuss slate and tile roof repairsFor a terraced property, explain whether the chimney is shared and how the rear of the home is reached. Ask for the stack, pointing and roof flashing to be assessed, and for access arrangements to be included in the written scope.

Gravesend is on the south bank of the Thames, with Northfleet to the west and Chalk to the east. The map is an area reference, not a flood-risk assessment. This map shows local geography, not an office, completed projects or an exact service boundary. Roofers Medway covers all of Kent and Medway.
Property-specific advice
Useful points to discuss before roof repairs or replacement work is agreed. The right approach depends on your property, not just its postcode.
Gravesend is on the Thames in north Kent, but exposure differs between properties. If a problem occurs mainly during wind or heavy rain, describe that pattern. Flashing, roof edges, the covering and rainwater drainage may all be relevant; the location alone does not diagnose the fault.
Tell us about shared access, nearby conservatories, boundaries or other obstacles below the roof. When work is close to another property, the inspection and access arrangements need to be discussed alongside the repair itself.
Compare the proposed scope, not just the total. Ask for the details that apply to your job:
These are points to clarify, not a promise that every item is included in every job. Your written quote should describe the work proposed for your home.
Our roofing services
Choose a service to understand the work, or describe your roof in your own words when requesting a quote.
Tell us about leaks, slipped tiles, damaged slates, ridge lines or flashing. Water can travel before it becomes visible indoors, so the position of a damp patch alone is not a diagnosis. We discuss the symptoms and the next inspection steps with you.
If you are considering renewal, discuss the existing covering, the proposed materials and the extent of the work. Ask what is included in the written quote, what needs to be checked and whether any permissions or Building Regulations requirements apply.
For an extension, garage or outbuilding, describe the roof’s use, its junction with the house and any pooling water or leaks. Repair or replacement depends on the existing system and condition; a suitable approach needs a property-specific assessment.
For sudden damage or an active leak, keep clear of the roof and anything that could fall. Tell our team what has happened from a safe location. Availability must be confirmed directly; for immediate danger, contact the appropriate emergency service.
Overflowing gutters, leaking joints and loose downpipes can affect how water leaves the roof. Describe where water escapes, whether it happens in heavy rain and any visible damage to fascias, soffits or nearby walls.
Ask about deteriorating pointing, chimney masonry and flashing at the roof junction. Describe loose material or leaks from a safe position. Inspection is needed to distinguish a masonry issue from a problem with the adjoining roof covering or flashing.
Your questions, answered
Use Gravesham Borough Council’s conservation-area page and its interactive map, linked below. Check the property boundary rather than assuming a whole street or postcode has the same designation.
Ask for the proposed covering, what happens to existing materials, the condition checks needed beneath them, and the treatment of chimneys and shared edges. Mention any conservation or listed-building status before the scope is agreed.
Contact Roofers Medway directly with your town or postcode, the roof issue or planned work, and any access details. We offer free written quotes and cover all of Kent and Medway. You do not need to diagnose the fault; photographs should only be taken from a safe position.
No. Gravesham's conservation guidance describes particular historic areas; it is not a specification for every Gravesend property. Identify your exact address and existing roof covering. If the property may be protected, check its current status and requirements with the council.
Ask for the proposed covering, areas included and any chimney, flashing or drainage work to be set out in writing. If the property may be in a conservation area, share the exact address and check current council guidance about visible material changes before agreeing the specification.
