Homes across Kent experience a wide range of roofing issues due to age, weather exposure and construction style. From older tiled roofs in Sevenoaks to post war housing in Dartford and Gravesend, roof structures are constantly exposed to wind, rain and seasonal temperature changes. One of the most common problems we see is water ingress caused by slipped or cracked tiles. Even a small gap can allow moisture to enter the roof space, leading to damp insulation, stained ceilings and timber decay over time. Another frequent issue across Kent is failed flashing around chimneys, valleys and roof junctions. Lead flashing naturally weathers and can loosen or split, particularly on properties exposed to strong winds or heavy rainfall. In areas close to open land or higher elevations, wind uplift can also cause ridge tiles to loosen, creating a safety risk and increasing the chance of leaks. Blocked or poorly maintained gutters are another contributor to roof damage. Overflowing water can soak roof edges and masonry, eventually affecting the roof structure itself. This is commonly seen on homes in Northfleet, Swanley and leafy parts of Orpington, where moss and debris build up more quickly. Addressing these issues early with professional roof repairs can prevent minor faults from escalating into extensive structural damage.
