Tunbridge Wells, Kent
New Slate Roof & Solar Coordination
JRB Roofing & Building Ltd completed this full slate re-roof in Tunbridge Wells, replacing the existing tiled roof with a smart, durable slate finish.
Working alongside a separate specialist solar installation company, we carefully coordinated the roofing works around the solar panel system to achieve a professional, weatherproof finish.
The solar panels were supplied and installed by a separate company, with JRB responsible for all roofing works.
Stone-in-Oxney, Kent
Kent Peg Ridge Repairs & Eave Tile Installation
JRB Roofing & Building Ltd completed specialist Kent peg tile and ridge repairs at this property in Stone-in-Oxney, Kent, working alongside the homeowner and their insurance company to resolve an ongoing leaking roof.
The existing ridge tiles had become loose due to deteriorated mortar, and missing eave tiles meant the Kent peg tiles were not correctly weathering the roof at the ridge.
We carefully removed the existing ridge tiles, installed new Kent peg eave tiles on both sides and securely re-bedded the ridge tiles using a traditional 2:1:1 mortar mix.
The completed repairs restored the roof's weather protection, leaving the customer extremely happy with the finished result.

Roofing FAQs
Common questions
Where are you based and which areas do you cover?
JRB Roofing & Building LTD is based in Tenterden, Ashford, Kent. We work throughout Ashford and the surrounding villages, and across Kent, Surrey and Sussex.
Why does what is beneath the roof tiles matter?
The tiles are only the part you can see. Beneath them, felt or underlay, battens, ventilation, leadwork and the roof structure all have a part to play in keeping the roof sound. A roof can look tidy outside while defects remain hidden underneath. A timely assessment and appropriate maintenance can help catch problems before they become more extensive and costly; sometimes a complete re-roof is the right approach.
Do you work on Kent Peg and heritage roofs?
Yes. Kent Peg tiles and traditional roofing are a specialism, including work with existing and reclaimed Kent Peg tiles on period properties. Our heritage experience includes an oast house and a pre-1919 property in Kent.
Do you install timber and felt shingle roofs?
Yes. Shingle roofing is a specialist service. We work with traditional timber shingles and also install felt shingles, which suit garages, outbuildings, garden buildings and other pitched roof structures.
Do you install solar panels?
No. We do not supply or install solar panels. We carry out the roofing works and can coordinate the roof covering around a system fitted by a separate solar installation team.
Are you insured?
Yes. JRB holds £2m Public Liability insurance and is Constructionline registered (ID 1438940).
