Area guide · Kent
Thanet District Council’s conservation guidance recommends retaining existing slates or tiles and matching damaged replacements, as well as retaining and repairing chimney stacks and pots. It warns that thick concrete tiles, prominent rooflights and large dormers can erode historic character. This guidance concerns conservation settings, not every home across Thanet.
Roofers Medway is the roofing company you contact directly. We cover Thanet 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.
For an older terrace, ask how repairs will preserve the original covering and chimney details and how work meets the neighbouring roof. Explain whether a chimney is shared and whether access is through a communal space.
Discuss chimney repairs in ThanetFor a flat roof on a garage or rear addition, note where water pools or enters and whether the roof edge looks loose from the ground. Ask about the outlet, wall junction and edge detailing as well as the covering.

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.
Thanet includes Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate, with different settings and property requirements. Include the town, postcode and affected roof in your enquiry so the discussion is about your home, not an assumption about the whole district.
For an exposed coastal property, describe when wind or rain causes symptoms and what you can safely see. The covering, perimeter details, flashing and drainage may all be relevant. A coastal location alone is not a diagnosis or a reason to replace the roof.
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
Include Margate, Broadstairs, Ramsgate or your village, together with the postcode. Thanet is a district, not a single town, and the precise location helps us discuss access and the requirements of your home.
Do not assume those changes are straightforward on an older property. Thanet’s conservation guidance highlights their effect on historic character. Check the property’s designation and proposed work with the council before agreeing to removal or a different covering.
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.
