Thanington is a south-western Canterbury district along the Stour, and that setting shapes the roof repairs work we are called out for. The housing here is largely period cottages and modern estate housing, so slipped tiles and failed lead at chimneys and valleys 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 Thanington job starts with a free survey and a written fixed-price quote, with no call-out fee.
Most Thanington 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.
Thanington’s cottages, terraces and village lanes have limited parking, so scaffold lorry access and skip placement are arranged ahead of the work. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Canterbury City Council; allow a few working days on streets like Thanington high street, Thanington’s older terraces where space is tight.
The roofs of Thanington reflect a Stour-side suburb with Victorian terraces along the Ashford Road, large post-war council-built estates, and newer development toward Thanington Without. Most Thanington 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. Understanding that local building stock is what separates a lasting repair from a quick patch.
Local knowledge counts in Thanington because The post-war estate housing dominates the workload and is squarely at the nail-sickness stage, with concrete tiles slipping across whole slopes. Low Stour-side plots face damp and gutter overflow. From Ashford Road, Cockering Road, Milton Manor, Tonford Lane outward, the same pattern repeats, and our roof repairs method accounts for it. Post-war estate roofs commonly need full re-fixing or re-roofing.
Minor repairs — a handful of tiles, a flashing patch, ridge repointing — typically cost £150–£400 in Thanington. 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. Thanington'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.
