Roof Tiling & Slating

Traditional pitched roof tiling and slating carried out to the highest standards. From new installations and complete re-roofs to targeted repairs, we bring expert craftsmanship to every project across Kent, London and the South East.

Expert Pitched Roof Installations

A well-tiled or slated pitched roof is the defining feature of any property, providing essential weather protection while contributing enormously to the building's character and kerb appeal. At Henleys Roofing, our skilled craftsmen have extensive experience working with all types of roof tiles and slates, from traditional handmade clay tiles that complement period Kent properties to modern concrete interlocking tiles that offer excellent value on new builds and extensions. Whatever the scale of your project, we deliver workmanship that is built to last.

We carry out new roof installations on extensions, new builds and loft conversions, as well as complete re-roofs where the existing covering has reached the end of its serviceable life. Our team is equally adept at carrying out repairs, whether that involves replacing slipped or broken tiles, re-bedding and re-pointing ridge tiles, or addressing localised areas of damage caused by storms or general wear. Every job receives the same level of care and attention to detail, because we understand that even a small repair must be done properly to protect your home.

Materials We Work With

Choosing the right tile or slate is one of the most important decisions on any pitched roofing project. The material needs to suit the style of the building, meet local planning requirements, and perform well in the conditions it will face over the coming decades. We work closely with our clients to recommend the best option for their property, drawing on our knowledge of the materials available and our experience of how they perform in the Kent and South East climate. Our range of materials includes:

  • Clay plain tiles, including handmade and machine-made varieties in a wide range of colours and textures
  • Concrete interlocking tiles from leading manufacturers, offering durability and cost-effectiveness
  • Natural roofing slate, including Welsh slate, Spanish slate and reclaimed slate for period restorations
  • Ridge tiles, hip tiles and bonnet tiles to suit every roof configuration
  • Modern dry-fix ridge and hip systems for a maintenance-free, mortar-free finish
  • High-performance breathable roofing membranes and traditional reinforced underlay
  • Treated timber battens fixed at the correct gauge for the chosen tile or slate

Our Installation Process

Every tiling or slating project begins with a detailed survey of the roof structure. We check the condition of the rafters, assess whether the existing battens and underlay need replacing, and ensure that adequate ventilation is provided to meet current Building Regulations. For a full re-roof, we strip the existing covering, inspect and repair the timber structure as necessary, then install a new breathable membrane, pressure-treated battens, and the chosen tiles or slates. All verges, valleys, ridges and hips are finished meticulously, whether using traditional mortar bedding or modern dry-fix systems.

For properties in conservation areas or those with listed building status, we have experience working with local planning departments to ensure that replacement materials are sympathetic to the original roof. We can source reclaimed tiles and slates where required and are experienced in the traditional fixing methods that heritage projects demand. Our goal on every job is to deliver a roof that not only keeps the building dry but enhances its appearance and value for years to come.
