Local roofers
Serving homes across Gillingham
We work with homeowners across Gillingham, including Rainham, Twydall, Hempstead, Parkwood, Brompton and the areas around the town centre. Gillingham is part of our regular Medway working area, several of our Checkatrade reviews come from homeowners in the ME5 postcode, which spans parts of Chatham and Gillingham.
Gillingham grew rapidly in the Victorian era alongside the naval dockyard, leaving long streets of terraced housing close to the town centre. Further out, inter-war and post-war estates, and later developments in areas such as Rainham, Hempstead and Parkwood, mean the town has a wide variety of homes and roofs.
Because Alliance operates 24 hours a day with a typical emergency response time within 2 hours, Gillingham homeowners can get help quickly whenever a roof problem strikes.

Local knowledge
Common roof problems in Gillingham
Long terraced streets
Gillingham's Victorian terraces share chimneys, valleys and parapet walls. Leaks can come from shared details or from neighbouring properties, so it's important to trace the real source. Slate roofs on these homes are prone to nail fatigue as they age.
Post-war concrete tile roofs
Many estates built after the war have concrete tile roofs that are now decades old. The tiles themselves are durable, but original underlay, battens and ridge mortar may be reaching the end of their life, leading to leaks and loose ridge tiles.
Exposed higher ground
Parts of Gillingham sit on higher ground with views over the Medway estuary, where roofs are more exposed to wind. Ridge and verge tiles, chimneys and flat-roofed dormers take the brunt of storms.
Tired exteriors
Painted render and house fronts weather over time, especially on exposed elevations. Exterior painting combined with render repairs and new guttering can transform a tired-looking home.
