Roofing materials for Kent’s period and rural roofs

Kent is a county of period property, oast houses, tile-hung cottages and traditional peg-tiled roofs, so authentic materials are often essential, especially in conservation areas and on listed buildings. We hold the coverings that keep these roofs right, alongside modern systems for extensions and flats:

• Handmade clay tiles and Kent peg tiles for period, tile-hung and heritage work. Our guide to handmade clay tiles for heritage properties explains where they earn their place, and our clay versus concrete comparison helps with new build and reroof choices.
• Natural and fibre-cement slate for the county’s slate roofs and conservation projects. See our natural slate roofing guide and the pitched roofing range.
• Lead and leadwork materials for valleys, flashings and the detailing that period roofs rely on. Our lead flashing codes guide sets out which code goes where, and you can see the full lead and leadwork range.
• VELUX roof windows for barn conversions and loft rooms. Our VELUX sizes and codes guide makes ordering the right size straightforward.

Kent areas we cover

From the Hartfield depot we regularly supply Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Edenbridge, Sevenoaks, Cranbrook, Hawkhurst and the West Kent villages. The border towns of Crowborough and East Grinstead sit close by too, so if you are working near the county line, we are likely your nearest specialist roofing merchant. Our East Grinstead page covers the Surrey border, and our Sussex roofing supplies overview covers the rest of the region.
