Roofers in Ashford, Kent
Looking for roofers in Ashford? JRB Roofing & Building LTD is based in Tenterden, Ashford, Kent, and serves Ashford town and surrounding villages.
Our focus is complete new roofs, full re-roofs and specialist traditional roofing. Whether you are planning a replacement covering for a home, restoring a period roof or coordinating roof works with a builder, we discuss the existing structure, materials and detailing before recommending a scope of work.
As local roofing contractors serving Ashford, we bring the same care to Kent peg tiles, natural and artificial slate, felt and cedar shingles and leadwork. Our project photographs show roofing in Tenterden, Stone-in-Oxney, Biddenden and Tunbridge Wells; we do not present those projects as work in Ashford town.
Local, personal service from Tenterden
Every enquiry is handled personally by the JRB team in Tenterden, close to Ashford and the villages listed below. Tell us the property location and the type of roof so we can discuss access and the work required.
Plan the whole roof, not just the covering
For a complete re-roof, the condition of the structure, battens, underlay, junctions and drainage matters alongside the tiles or slates. We explain which elements need attention and where sound existing materials can be retained.
Complete new roofs & re-roofs
For widespread covering failure or a planned roof replacement, we assess the roof as a whole. Our work includes stripping the covering, checking the structure, renewing membrane and battens where required, and finishing ridges, hips, verges and valleys. Interlocking tiles and specialist coverings are selected to suit the building rather than treating every roof alike.
Kent peg & nib tile roofs
Traditional clay roofs need careful setting out and matching. Kent peg tiles and nib tiles are different systems; we work with existing, new and suitable reclaimed materials, retaining sound tiles where practical. Hip, ridge and valley detailing is particularly important on multi-pitched period roofs.
Natural & artificial slate
A slate replacement starts with the property and its roof structure. We discuss natural and artificial slate, fixing, layout and junction details, whether the project is a full re-slate or a new roof. Our verified Tunbridge Wells slate project is available in the existing project photographs.
Felt & cedar shingle roofing
Cedar shingles offer a traditional finish for characterful pitched roofs, while felt shingles can suit garages, garden buildings and other outbuildings. We consider the roof form and appropriate ridge, hip and edge detailing rather than assuming one shingle system suits every structure.
Heritage, period properties & roof restoration
Traditional roofs call for care with original materials, roof profiles and weatherproof junctions. Our Kent experience includes an oast house, a pre-1919 property and heritage roofing in Tenterden. For an oast, barn or period-property proposal, we discuss the roof and required materials first. Owners should check any listed-building or conservation requirements with the local authority before work starts.
Lead flashing, valleys & chimneys
Junctions at walls, chimneys and valleys can determine whether a well-laid covering remains weatherproof. We undertake leadwork, flashings and associated chimney repairs, checking the surrounding masonry and pointing rather than assuming every leak comes from the lead alone.
Repairs, flat roofs & related building work
A full replacement is not always necessary: isolated slipped tiles, localised leaks or sound flat-roof decks may allow a targeted repair. We also undertake roofline work and roof-related timber or masonry repairs, particularly where these form part of a wider roofing project. Call to discuss availability; no emergency response time is guaranteed.
