"Really pleased with the work JH Roofing did for us. We had several other people try to fix our guttering but just moved the problem around. JH came to look at the job promptly, clearly knew what they were about, and spotted a problem others didn't. The guttering is now working properly and not leaking or overflowing. Very happy to recommend JH and would certainly use them again."
Storm Damage Specialists
Roofers in Folkestone
Folkestone's coastal weather is tough on roofs. High winds, salt air and heavy rain take their toll fast. JH Roofing has spent 10+ years repairing, replacing and storm-proofing roofs across Folkestone, Sandgate, Hythe and the surrounding villages.

What Folkestone Customers Say
Rated 4.7 on the Coast
"We had a long standing damp issue on our chimney breast which had cost us thousands in failed repair attempts up until when we brought in Jake. Jake was the first tradesman who seemed to really try and get to the bottom of the problem and in the end came up with a simple, cheap solution that finally worked. Highly recommended!"
"We lost tiles and ridges during a storm. JH Roofing fitted new tiles, ridges and the wall ends which had blown off in the wind. Very happy with their attitude and their commitment to fixing my leaking roof. Before Jake could make it to us he came out and sheeted up the roof temporarily so we didn't get any more water in the bedrooms."
FAQs
Folkestone Roofing Questions
How quickly can you get to a roof emergency in Folkestone?
We aim to respond to emergency call-outs in Folkestone within a few hours, often the same day. Jake is the first point of contact and will give you a realistic ETA when you call.
Do you cover all of Folkestone and the surrounding area?
Yes, we cover the whole of Folkestone including the town centre, the harbour area, Cheriton, Sandgate, Hythe and surrounding villages. All CT18, CT19, CT20 and CT21 postcodes are within our service area.
Can you help with an insurance claim after storm damage?
Yes. We provide written assessments and itemised quotes that you can submit directly to your insurance company. We've supported plenty of Folkestone homeowners through storm damage claims.
Does coastal weather really damage roofs faster?
Yes, noticeably. Salt air corrodes lead and metalwork, high winds put extra stress on tiles and ridge work, and heavy rain finds weaknesses faster. Coastal roofs typically need attention 20-30% more often than inland equivalents.
Do you charge for quotes?
No, all quotes are completely free with no obligation.
