Roofing Contractors In Kent
Covering Every Detail, from Repairs to Replacements...
For over 75 years, Clarke Roofing has been solving roofing problems for homes and businesses across Kent and the South East. As a family-run company based in Eastbourne, we've built our reputation on honest advice, quality workmanship and getting roofs fixed properly the first time.
Common Roofing Problems We Fix
Dealing with a leaking roof, missing tiles after a storm, or a flat roof that's seen better days? We handle all the issues that Kent properties face, from emergency repairs after wind damage to complete roof replacements on aging buildings. Whether it's a cracked tile letting water into your loft, failed flat roof membranes, blocked gutters causing damp, or lead flashing that needs replacing, our team has seen it all and knows how to fix it properly.
Clarke Roofing handles everything from straightforward domestic repairs to complex commercial projects and heritage conservation work. We provide full roofing services including pitched and flat roofing with materials ranging from natural slate and clay tiles to zinc, copper, lead and modern membrane systems. Beyond roofing, we act as main contractor on construction projects involving brickwork, carpentry, plastering, stonework repairs, and window and door installation. Our restoration and heritage work includes regular collaboration with Conservation Officers, The National Trust, and Diocese bodies on listed buildings and historic properties. For commercial clients, we work with offices, schools, retail premises, hotels and multi-unit developments, with dedicated project management, quantity surveying and health & safety oversight on larger contracts, all underpinned by ISO-certified systems for quality, safety and environmental management. We can also provide aerial surveys for your roof inspections.
We provide quotes with no obligation and never ask for advance payments. All our heritage and conservation work comes with a minimum 10-year guarantee, giving you complete peace of mind. As an award-winning company with over 75 years of experience in the roofing industry, we've been family-run since 1949 and have built our reputation on delivering what we promise. We hold all the major industry accreditations including ISO certification for quality, health & safety and environmental management, along with CHAS approval, Constructionline Gold membership and TrustMark registration, so you can be confident you're working with a properly qualified and insured contractor.
Serving Kent and Beyond
We work throughout Kent, with regular projects in Canterbury, Maidstone, Tunbridge Wells, Ashford and the coastal towns. But our reach extends well beyond the county borders. In East Sussex, where we're based in Eastbourne, we handle everything from seafront properties battling coastal weather to rural homes in the Sussex Weald. Our West Sussex work takes us from the South Downs villages to larger towns like Chichester and Worthing. We're active across Surrey, particularly in areas bordering Kent like Reigate and Oxted, and cover East Hampshire where many properties blend traditional architecture with modern needs. We also serve South London boroughs, working on everything from Victorian terraces to commercial buildings.
Local Knowledge That Counts
Kent's buildings are as varied as they come. In Canterbury, we work on everything from medieval timber-framed houses within the city walls to modern estates on the outskirts. Coastal properties in Whitstable, Herne Bay and Folkestone face particular challenges from salt air and wind exposure. Properties in Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks often fall within conservation areas with strict planning requirements. Across the county, we understand what Kent roofs need to last.
We work from the Thames estuary towns down to Romney Marsh, and from the Surrey border across to the coast. This local experience means we know what works in this region and what doesn't.
Notable Projects in Kent
We recently completed restoration work on the library corridor roof at Canterbury Cathedral, a Grade I listed building and UNESCO World Heritage Site, where we repaired the 12th-century timber structure and installed a new lead roof system using traditional methods. Beyond Canterbury Cathedral, we've completed work at Chartwell House (Winston Churchill's former home), various National Trust properties, and numerous churches, schools and historic buildings across Kent. We're framework contractors for several major organisations and have the capacity to handle projects of any size.
If you're dealing with roof repairs, storm damage, leaking flat roofs or need a complete roof replacement anywhere in Kent or the South East, we'd be happy to help. We provide site visits and detailed quotations with realistic timelines.
