Chilham is one of Kent’s most photographed villages, set around a medieval square below Chilham Castle, and that setting shapes the roof repairs work we are called out for. The housing here is largely medieval and Tudor timber-framed listed cottages, so failed lead and lime-mortar at chimneys and valleys on protected roofs is the fault we see most.
We trace the leak to its true source — often a metre up-slope of the damp inside — and renew just the failed element, working in matched tiles, correct-code lead and the right mortar for the property. Every Chilham job starts with a free survey and a written fixed-price quote, with 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.
Most Chilham repair calls are slipped or cracked tiles, failed flashing at chimneys and abutments, or a leaking valley. We diagnose the actual source rather than patching symptoms. Chilham's character as a historic hilltop village — with 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 — means no two roof repairs jobs here are quite the same, and we quote each on its own merits.
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. That factor drives most of the roof repairs calls we take around The Square, The Street, School Hill, Mountain Street and the rest of Chilham. Heavily listed medieval village — reclaimed peg tile, lime mortar and consent essential.
Minor repairs — a handful of tiles, a flashing patch, ridge repointing — typically cost £150–£400 in Chilham. More involved repairs including valley work or full flashing replacement run £350–£900. All work starts with a free survey and fixed-price quote.

Yes, as standard on all pre-1919 properties. Chilham's period housing stock requires lime mortar on ridge repointing and chimney work. We specify the correct mix for each property on the free survey.
A correctly specified repair using appropriate materials — marine-grade fixings where needed, correct lead code, lime mortar on period properties — should last 15–25 years. All our repair work carries a 10-year workmanship guarantee.
