Roofers in New Romney
One of the Cinque Ports, with the older stock to match and the Marsh weather on top of it.
New Romney was one of the original Cinque Ports, and its centre still has the building stock that goes with that: old, low, and much repaired over a long life.
We work across the town and the villages around it, on everything from a listed frontage that needs matching materials to a postwar bungalow that needs a straightforward re-cover. Below is the full range of what we take on.

Older roofs need older methods
On historic property the covering is part of the building, and a modern interlocking tile on a roof that has always been peg tile or slate looks wrong and often sits wrong too. Undulating roof lines that have settled over centuries are original, not a defect, and levelling them out is a mistake rather than an improvement.
Where a property warrants it we will price reclaimed or matching materials and tell you what the difference costs. On anything listed or in a conservation area, what you are allowed to use is a real constraint and it is worth establishing before quotes are compared.
Marsh exposure on old buildings
New Romney gets the same open, unbroken wind as the rest of the Marsh, applied to buildings that were put up long before anybody specified a fixing pattern. Old roofs were often held down by weight and friction as much as by nails.
The honest answer on those is usually not a full replacement but a careful strip, inspection and re-fix, keeping the materials and bringing the fixings, underlay and lead up to something that will hold.
