Almost all of Allington's homes are modern, built as Maidstone spread north-west after the parish was merged into the town in 1932. Most roofs here are pitched and covered in concrete interlocking tiles. These are hard-wearing and rarely need replacing, so most roofing work is on the parts around the tiles.
The ridge and the verges at the gable ends were usually bedded in mortar, which cracks and falls out with age. Loose ridge tiles can lift in high winds, and open verges let in water and birds. Rebedding them, or fitting a dry ridge and dry verge system that uses mechanical fixings instead of mortar, is one of the most common jobs on houses of this age. Moss also grows readily on concrete tiles. Heavy growth can block gutters, but avoid pressure washing, which can damage the tiles.
Fascias, soffits and gutters are the other big job. Many homes of this age still have their original timber fascias, which rot, and older gutters whose joints leak. Replacing them in uPVC is common, and is best done while scaffolding is up for other roof work.
Flat roofs are common on garages, porches, dormers and rear extensions across Allington. Older felt roofs often start to leak after 15 to 20 years. When you replace one, ask about rubber (EPDM) or GRP fibreglass systems, and check the roof is laid with enough fall for rain to run off.
Scaffolding is often the biggest single cost in a roofing quote, so ask whether it's included and how long it will be up. Ask the roofer to send photos of the problem from the roof, and check what guarantee comes with the work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Replacing a few slipped slates or tiles typically costs £150 to £500, with the top end usually meaning scaffolding is needed. Chimney and flashing repairs are often £250 to £1,200.
It fixes the ridge tiles or the edge tiles at the gable ends with clips and screws instead of mortar, so there's no mortar to crack and fall out. It's a common upgrade on concrete-tiled roofs.
Often, yes. If the timber fascias are rotten, the gutters are usually taken down anyway. Doing both together, ideally while scaffolding is up for other work, saves paying for access twice.
A single leak or worn flashing can usually be repaired. If the felt is blistered, cracked or split across a large area, or water sits on it after rain, replacement is usually better value.
Light moss is mostly cosmetic. Heavy growth can block gutters and hold moisture against the tiles, so it's worth removing. Avoid pressure washing, which can damage tiles. Ask a roofer about gentle cleaning and a treatment.
