Area guide · Kent
Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council’s conservation appraisal identifies traditional clay tile and slate roofs, including elaborate Victorian properties in Dry Hill Park. Its guidance recognises a rich mix of roof forms in the central and Dry Hill Park Road areas. Matching a covering is only one part of preserving those roof details.
Roofers Medway is the roofing company you contact directly. We cover Tonbridge 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.
On a roof with hips, valleys or several slopes, ask which parts are contributing to a leak and which remain serviceable. The written scope should explain treatment of ridges and valleys as well as the main covering.
Discuss roof and valley repairsDescribe loose mortar or staining near a stack from a safe position. Ask for both the masonry and flashing to be assessed; a leak at this junction does not automatically mean the chimney needs removal.

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.
For a Tonbridge home with damp indoors, mention any chimney, valley, roof window or extension above or near that room. Water can travel through a roof before becoming visible. Safe observations help the discussion but do not replace a roof inspection.
If you are considering renewal, ask which materials and roof details are proposed, how rainwater will be handled and what needs checking before work starts. Include any known protected status and discuss relevant approvals before deciding.
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.
