Roofer in Hythe
Hythe's older stone and brick houses need a roofer who can repoint a chimney, replace lead and match reclaimed tiles, not just patch a leak. JH Roofing covers Hythe, Saltwood, Seabrook and the Marsh from our Ashford base, with a free survey and a fixed price before any work starts.
Chimney Repointing on a Stone House in Hythe
A tall brick chimney on a ragstone house above Hythe had lost most of its mortar to years of salt air and rain. Water was tracking down the stack and the pointing was crumbling to the touch.
We scaffolded the rear of the house, raked out the old mortar, repointed the whole stack in a matched mix and checked the lead flashing and ridge while we were up there. The homeowners had the scaffold down and the garden back within days.
“First class job, reliable hard working men, one even captured my partner’s dog when he made a bid for freedom. I would recommend this company.”
Chimney repointing, September 2026Roof Repairs for Hythe's Older Houses
Hythe has more Victorian, Edwardian and stone-built homes than most Kent towns, and they wear differently to a modern estate roof. These are the jobs we get called out to most.
Chimney Repointing and Rebuilds
Raking out failed mortar, repointing in a matched mix, rebuilding loose courses and replacing cracked pots and cowls.
Lead Flashing and Valleys
New lead around chimneys, dormers and abutments, and relining valleys and gullies where the old lead has split or lifted.
Slipped and Broken Tiles
Kent peg, plain clay and slate replaced with matching reclaimed stock so the repair blends in. Single tiles from £150 + VAT.
Ridge and Hip Re-bedding
Loose ridge tiles and blown mortar on hips re-bedded or fitted with a dry ridge system so the wind off the Channel cannot lift them again.
Flat Roofs on Extensions and Garages
Felt, EPDM rubber and fibreglass repairs and replacements for the flat roofs on Hythe's extensions, garages and bay windows.
Gutters, Fascias and Leaks
Overflowing gutters, rotten fascia boards and the slow leaks that show up as a damp patch on the bedroom ceiling.

From First Call to Finished Roof
No call centres and no sales visits. You deal with Jake from the first call to the last tile.
Tell us what you have noticed, whether that is a damp patch, a tile in the garden or a chimney that looks tired. The instant quote calculator gives you a rough range straight away if you want one.
Jake comes out, gets on the roof or flies the drone over it, and shows you photos of what he finds. You see the problem, not just hear about it.
You get a written quote with a fixed price, including any scaffold. If you need it for an insurance claim we itemise it for you.
We turn up when we say we will, do the work, tidy up and send you photos of the finished roof so you can see it without climbing a ladder.
