Heritage & Traditional Roofing

Older buildings need a roofer who understands traditional materials and methods. JRB's heritage experience in Kent includes work on an oast house and a pre-1919 property, alongside heritage and shingle roofing in Tenterden.

Our approach combines traditional skills — Kent Peg tiles, traditional slate, timber shingles, leadwork and lime-style mortar detailing — with modern standards of weatherproofing.

What's included

  • Kent Peg and traditional clay tile roofs
  • Traditional slate roofs
  • Timber shingle work
  • Leadwork, flashing and chimney detailing
  • Neat mortar and pointing detail work

Our approach

Retain what can be retained

We reuse sound original materials wherever practical and source reclaimed tiles to keep the roof in character.

Detail matters

Close attention to mortar, ridges, hips and flashings is what makes traditional work look right and last.

Common questions

Do you work on listed buildings?
