Canterbury's housing stock demands a broad range of re-roofing expertise. Period properties in the conservation area require a working knowledge of Kentish plain clay tile — its sizing tolerances, bedding methods and the planning conditions that govern its use. Getting this wrong means an enforcement notice; getting it right means a sympathetic repair that will last another 60 years.
At the other end of the spectrum, the large post-war and 1960s estates in Barton and Rough Common are now generating significant re-roof volume as nail sickness takes hold across their concrete interlocking tiles. These are straightforward jobs in terms of materials, but they require efficient scaffolding, waste management and project co-ordination to keep costs reasonable for homeowners on a budget.
Full scaffold erection, strip of existing covering and disposal, inspection of felt underlay and structural timbers with any replacement required, installation of new breathable membrane, batten replacement, full retiling, ridge re-bedding, lead and flashing renewal, and guttering inspection. We leave the site clean and remove all waste.
“Full re-roof on our 1930s detached on London Road. They matched the clay tiles we wanted, scaffolded Monday, stripped Tuesday, tiled by Thursday. Incredibly tidy team. Highly recommend.”
“Nail sickness had got to about 40% of our concrete tiles. Canterbury Roofing were honest that repair was not viable long-term and gave us a fair price for a full replacement. No regrets.”
“Re-roofed our Victorian terrace with matched plain clay tiles. Had quotes from four companies — these were the only ones who properly understood the conservation area constraints. Right choice.”

A typical 3-bedroom Victorian semi in Canterbury with Kentish plain clay tiles costs between £6,000 and £10,000 to re-roof, depending on roof area, tile specification and access. Modern concrete tile replacements on post-war stock in Barton or Rough Common typically run £4,500–£8,000. Conservation area properties requiring plain clay tile can be at the higher end due to material costs. We provide detailed, itemised quotes so you know exactly what you are paying for.
A standard 3-bed property takes 4–7 working days from strip-off to completion. Larger properties, those with multiple hips or valleys, or conservation area properties requiring matched plain clay tile sourcing may take longer. We give a firm timeline in the quote and keep you updated daily.
In most cases, no — replacing a roof with the same or equivalent materials is permitted development. However, properties within Canterbury's conservation areas, listed buildings, and some properties in Article 4 direction areas may need prior approval or listed building consent before the roof covering is changed. We will advise you on this as part of the survey.
We work with Kentish plain clay tile (sourced from specialist suppliers for conservation area matching), modern clay interlocking tile, concrete interlocking tile, Welsh natural slate, and synthetic slate. We recommend materials based on your property's era, location, planning position and budget, and always explain the trade-offs honestly.
