Chilham is one of Kent’s most photographed villages, set around a medieval square below Chilham Castle, and that setting shapes the roof replacement work we are called out for. The housing here is largely medieval and Tudor timber-framed listed cottages, so end-of-life peg-tile roofs needing matched, consented re-roofs is the fault we see most.
We strip the old covering and rebuild with a new breathable membrane, battens, tiles, ridge and leadwork, working in matched tiles and a full 10-year workmanship guarantee. 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.
Chilham is a historic hilltop village, and its housing tells the story: 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. That mix directly shapes the roof replacement work we do here. When repairs stop being economical, a full re-roof restores the property for decades. In Chilham we match the covering to the property and to any conservation requirement.
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 roof replacement job around it. Heavily listed medieval village — reclaimed peg tile, lime mortar and consent essential.
