Roofers in Folkestone
The other half of the name, and ten minutes along the coast.
At Hythe & Folkestone Roofers we deliver a full range of roofing services for both residential and commercial properties in Folkestone. We are based ten minutes along the coast in Hythe, so Folkestone is core patch rather than an outlying job.
The town's mix of Victorian terraces, cliff-top properties and newer builds means no two roofs here fail the same way, which is why every job starts with a proper look at the whole roof. Below is the full range of what we take on.

Folkestone's roofs, and what goes wrong with them
Folkestone has three quite different kinds of roof in it. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the town centre and the Leas are mostly slate, often original, with valley gutters between them and shared party walls. The interwar and postwar estates are concrete tile. The newer builds and conversions are a mix, usually with a flat element somewhere.
Cliff top and seafront properties take the weather first, and exposure there is not only salt. It is wind driving rain horizontally, which finds its way under a covering designed on the assumption that water falls downwards. Verges, ridges and the upwind edge of a slope are where that shows up.
Terraces, valleys and shared roofs
A lot of roofing trouble in Folkestone is a valley gutter between two terraced houses where the lead or the fibreglass has failed and water is getting into both properties. Those need care, because the repair usually sits across a boundary and the neighbour has an interest in how it is done.
We will tell you plainly if what you have is a shared problem. The alternative is paying for half a repair that fails again from the other side.
