“They put a complete new roof cleaned up everything after the work was done very happy with the work”
Rainham grew fast after the war. Most homes are 1950s to 1970s estates of semis, terraces and bungalows under concrete interlocking tiles, with older cottages and houses around the High Street and Lower Rainham, and many rear extensions, garages and dormers under flat roofs.
We cover Rainham town centre, Parkwood, Wigmore, Twydall, Lower Rainham, Moor Street and the rest of ME8.
After 50 years and more, the concrete tiled roofs here need ridges and hips re-fixed, verges with dry verge fitted, and in time a full re-roof with new felt and battens. Felt flat roofs on extensions and garages are a regular call.
Rainham is just along the A2 from our Gillingham base. Rainham homeowners get a free, no-obligation quote and the work and the price set out in writing.

Rainham has a lot of post-war estates, and their concrete tile roofs are now old enough for the ridges and verges to fail. Mortar cracks, ridge tiles rock and verges drop into the garden. We fit dry ridge and dry verge, replace broken tiles and, when the felt under the tiles has gone, quote a new roof.
Bungalows and houses with extensions mean plenty of flat roofs and garage roofs, which we strip and re-cover. We also replace guttering and roofline on these homes.
Lower Rainham and Moor Street sit close to the marshes of the Medway estuary, where the wind blows straight off open water. Roofs on that side of town get more storm damage to tiles, ridges and verges than the sheltered streets in the middle of town.
Bungalows have a lot of roof for their size, and dormer and loft conversions add flat roofs and flashings that need looking after. We check the whole roof when we come to quote, not just the spot that is leaking.
Twydall was one of the first big post-war estates in Gillingham, and its roofs are now well past their first half-century. Parkwood and Wigmore came later, with more detached and semi-detached homes on larger plots. Across all three, the roofs are mostly concrete tiles, and the work follows the age of the estate: ridges and verges first, then a full re-tile when the felt and battens are done.
Start your Rainham enquiry with the room affected, then describe the roof above it. On a bungalow, a central hallway, an outside bedroom and an added kitchen sit beneath different roof details. A ceiling stain close to an internal wall does not identify which slope admitted the rain. An outline of your room layout helps explain the problem.
Around Wigmore and Parkwood, extensions and loft alterations add further connections to the original covering. Point out roof windows, dormers and changes in ceiling height. The inspection follows those features instead of treating the roof as one uninterrupted surface. You receive a repair proposal tied to the affected construction.
The eaves are the bottom edge of your tiled roof, where runoff should enter the gutter. Deterioration at this edge creates trouble behind the fascia as well as inside the gutter. If staining appears beneath the roofline on your Twydall house, include that detail when arranging an assessment.
Post-war concrete tiles can hide the condition of the membrane underneath. We examine the affected edge and explain whether it needs a local repair or work extending further up the slope. A gutter replacement alone does not correct failed material behind it. Understanding that distinction helps you compare the proposed work with the symptom you first noticed.
An added roof changes how much water reaches an existing outlet. At a Rainham house with a rear kitchen extension, the original downpipe and newer guttering need to work together. Record where overflow starts during a downpour, especially if it occurs at the connection between old and new sections.
Towards Lower Rainham, exposure to estuary weather also makes the position of wall flashings relevant. Water reaching a junction from above requires a clear path back onto the covering. Your assessment considers both the weather-facing detail and the discharge below it. Ask for the cause to be explained before deciding whether gutter work, flashing repairs or both belong in the quote.
A puddle on your garage roof and a split in its covering call for different checks. The first concerns the route to the outlet; the second concerns the waterproof layer. Both need investigating when you request a replacement. Photograph visible standing water from an upstairs window if that gives you a safe view.
For a detached garage in Moor Street or a connected garage near Rainham High Street, explain how the roof meets surrounding walls. Roof shape, edge details and deck condition affect the scope. Your free quote sets out that scope in writing, including the price, so you can review what the proposed renewal addresses.
