The same can be said for single-ply roofing which, although it isn’t exclusive to flat roofing, is a modern material that more and more Tenterden customers are drawn to.

An Insight into Traditional Roofing Materials
The origins of Kent peg tile and slate started in Canterbury in the 14th century, and this system has stood the tests of time with a unique look and style. Kent peg tile and slate has two peg holes unevenly spaced from the top edge. Traditionally, the holes were punched through by hand and the uneven spacing gave roofers a chance to use alternative positioned holes when fixing over tiling battens.
This gave a great line at the bottom edge of the tiles.
When providing Kent peg tile and slate services for customers in Tenterden, we use newly manufactured tiles. Low-end reclaimed tiles are brittle in texture and can’t be guaranteed to last without breaking. We can supply high quality Kent peg tile and slate for properties that are built to last, although we can use good quality reclaimed tiles if needed.
Leadwork is also a traditional roofing mainstay. As a major feature on many roofing projects, leadwork keeps the elements out and stops dampness causing internal damage to your Tenterden property. As a leadwork contractor, Rye Roofing supplies customers in Tenterden with securely fixed leadwork flashing on flat and pitched roofs, aprons and cladding.
Modern Single-Ply Roofing
Single-ply roofing is seen as a durable alternative to traditional roofing materials such as bitumen and felt. It is ideal for protecting and strengthening balconies, roof structures and walkways, but stands alone as a flat roofing material that can be used on structures in Tenterden previously covered with a hot application system.
A single-ply roofing product is a synthetic membrane that comes in a sheet form. Our experience in all aspects of flat roofing ensures we can work with membranes at any time of the year, even during the winter as long as temperatures remain above the required threshold.
