When it comes to ridge tiles in Chilham — one of Kent’s most photographed villages, set around a medieval square below Chilham Castle — and with housing that is largely medieval and Tudor timber-framed listed cottages, lime-bedded ridge and hip tiles matched to period roofs is the typical call.
We keep it honest — re-bed and re-point the ridge and hip tiles in matched mortar, or fit a mechanically-fixed dry-ridge system, with matched ridge tiles and the right mortar, or a dry-fix system — a free Chilham survey, a fixed written quote and no call-out fee.
Most Chilham roofs are reached from a tower or roof ladder; scaffold is quoted where a job needs safe standing time at height. Scaffold is specified for: re-roofs, chimney and valley work, and anything beyond a day at height - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Chilham’s listed and conservation buildings mean matched materials, lime mortar and often consent, with tight lanes where scaffold and skip placement take planning. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Ashford Borough Council; allow a few working days on streets like Chilham high street, Chilham’s older terraces where space is tight.
Work on Chilham roofs starts with the building stock: one of Kent's most famous medieval villages — timber-framed and Tudor houses around the square, peg-tiled cottages, and listed buildings throughout the conservation area, spread across a historic hilltop village. Loose and slipped ridge tiles are a leading Chilham storm-damage call. We re-bed in flexible mortar or convert to a mechanically-fixed dry-ridge system that needs no future maintenance.
One issue dominates Chilham roofs — Almost every roof is historic, listed or conservation-controlled. Work means reclaimed Kentish peg tile, lime mortar, oak-peg detailing and lead — modern materials are refused outright. Steep pitches need specialist access. It shows up again and again on properties near The Square, The Street, School Hill, Mountain Street, and we plan every ridge tile replacement job around it. Heavily listed medieval village — reclaimed peg tile, lime mortar and consent essential.
