Roof repairs and replacement work
What can a Chatham roofer help with?
Roofing jobs can involve pitched coverings, flat roofs, chimneys, gutters and junctions around extensions. A useful quote should identify the likely defect and explain how the work area will be reached safely.
Tiles & slates
Replacing slipped, cracked or missing tiles and slates, repairing local areas and checking nearby fixings where the defect may be wider than one covering.
Flat roof repairs
Assessment and repair or replacement of suitable felt, membrane and other flat-roof systems on extensions, garages and low-slope areas.
Chimneys, flashing & junctions
Weatherproofing details around chimneys, parapets, walls, valleys and roof penetrations where water commonly finds a route inside.
Gutters, fascias & soffits
Repairs and replacement around roof edges where leaking gutters, failed joints or deteriorated fascia and soffit components are causing problems.
Larger roof replacement
Renewal projects where coverings, battens, membranes, insulation or structural elements need a coordinated scope rather than a small patch repair.

Ask what is being repaired and how it will be reached
Make sure each roofer is working from the same scope, including access, materials, scaffolding and making-good.
- Share safe photos of visible roof damage and any internal staining or damp marks.
- Say whether the roof is pitched or flat and mention chimneys, extensions or adjoining roofs that affect access.
- Ask whether scaffolding, towers, waste removal and replacement materials are included.
- For a leak, ask what evidence supports the proposed repair and what happens if opening the roof reveals wider damage.

Roof form, access and heritage can change the quote
Medway Council lists several conservation areas affecting Chatham, including Chatham Historic Dockyard, Maidstone Road Chatham, New Road Chatham and Railway Street. Listed or protected properties should be checked before altering prominent roof coverings, chimneys, dormers or other historic external details.
Photograph safely from ground level. Do not climb onto a damaged roof to investigate. Interior photos of staining plus ground-level exterior photos are safer and can still help a roofer prepare for the first visit.

What should you check before hiring a roofer?
Roofing work is difficult to inspect from ground level, so clear evidence and a written scope matter. Look for relevant experience and a sensible explanation of why the proposed repair addresses the problem.
Experience with your roof type
Slate, tiles, flat membranes, leadwork and full replacements need different methods. Ask for recent examples that match your roof.
Safe access and insurance
Ask how the work will be accessed and whether scaffolding or other equipment is required. Review insurance before substantial work starts.
A written repair scope
The quote should explain the area being repaired, materials, access costs, waste removal and exclusions so you can compare like for like.
