More detail →Borough Green grew rapidly in the post-war period due to its railway station and A25 position, and the housing stock reflects this growth. The old village core around the High Street and Church Road retains Victorian and Edwardian housing with clay plain tile roofs, while the large estates of Quarry Hill, the Nepicar Road development and the roads off Maidstone Road are predominantly 1960s–80s concrete interlocking tile. Wrotham Heath, on the greensand ridge above Borough Green, has a more recent character with 1970s–90s detached properties, some of which are now approaching the point where roof maintenance becomes non-negotiable.
Borough Green sits at the foot of the North Downs greensand ridge, and the junction between the ridge and the Low Weald clay plain creates a distinct pattern of weather exposure. The ridge channels westerly winds down towards the village, and properties in the northern part of Borough Green on the slope below Wrotham Heath face more sustained wind loading than the sheltered southern side of the village. The proximity to the M26/M25 junction means traffic noise is a background feature, but more relevantly to roofing, the vibration from heavy traffic on the A25 can gradually loosen dry-bedded ridge tiles over time.
Nail sickness on 1970s–80s concrete interlocking tile estates throughout the Quarry Hill and Nepicar Road areas is the dominant repair demand. Ridge tile loosening — partly from wind and partly from the vibration effects noted above — is a recurring call across properties close to the A25. Clay tile slippage on the Victorian village core stock requires reclaimed Kent plain tile matching. Flat roofs on garages and rear extensions across the post-war estate stock are generating increasing replacement demand.
Based in Tonbridge, we cover Borough Green and the surrounding area. See the full coverage map below.
"Ridge tiles had been loose for two seasons — noticed them rocking in the wind. Re-bedded and flex-pointed the entire front ridge. Solid job, priced fairly."
"Nail sickness on the rear slope of a 1970s semi. Re-nailed, checked all the other slopes, found the front was still fine. Honest assessment — didn't push for more than was needed."
"Old GRP overlay on a garage roof had cracked. Full replacement with new GRP system. Clean work, done in a day, warranty paperwork provided."

Borough Green's proximity to the A25 creates a roofing challenge that is unusual in our coverage area: road vibration. Heavy lorries on the A25 create sustained low-frequency vibration that progressively loosens chimney pot bedding mortar, ridge tile beds and even tile nail fixings on properties close to the road. We assess vibration-related loosening separately from weather-related deterioration when surveying Borough Green properties — the repair specification for a loose chimney pot on Quarry Hill is different from one on Western Road, and we account for this in how we specify the bedding compound and fix method.

We specify lime mortar on period masonry, the correct lead code on every position, and the appropriate tile profile for your property era. Not the cheapest option — the correct one.
Written workmanship guarantee on all work. Photography of completed work provided. NFRC registered. £5m public liability insurance. We stand behind every job.
