Local Roofer in Canterbury
Roofing problems can develop gradually, especially on older properties where tiles, mortar and leadwork have weathered over many years. Terrabase Roofing provides dependable roofing services throughout Canterbury, from careful repairs and condition surveys to flat-roof work and complete new roof installations.
Our Roofing Services in Canterbury
Roof Repairs
We repair slipped or broken tiles, leaking valleys, damaged ridges, worn flashing and faults around chimneys or roof windows. Because water can travel beneath the covering before appearing indoors, we inspect beyond the obvious damp patch to locate the likely source of the problem.
New Roofs
If an existing roof is no longer suitable for continued repair, we can install a complete new system. Our work can include removing the old covering, checking the roof structure and fitting new membranes, battens, tiles and ventilation. Materials are selected with the property’s design and surroundings in mind.
Flat Roofs
We repair and replace flat roofs on extensions, garages, porches and outbuildings. Before installing the new covering, we assess the deck and check that rainwater can drain correctly. Particular attention is given to outlets, edges and junctions with the main building.
Roof Surveys
A roof survey can identify defects before they develop into significant internal damage. We inspect accessible areas for ageing materials, water entry and vulnerable details, then explain our findings and any work we believe should be considered.
Roofing Services for Canterbury Properties
Canterbury’s buildings range from historic homes near the city centre and St Dunstan’s to traditional terraces in Wincheap and more recent housing around Hales Place and Sturry. This variety means roofing work needs to be approached with care rather than treated as a standard job.
Period properties may have handmade clay tiles, older leadwork or roof details that should be repaired sympathetically. On post-war and modern homes, we often find problems concentrated around valleys, vents, extensions and previous alterations.
Where a property is listed or within a conservation area, certain changes may require additional approval. We can discuss the practical roofing requirements with you, although it remains important to confirm any planning obligations before work begins.
Our services are available to homeowners, landlords and property managers needing anything from a minor repair to a full roof replacement.

Our Roofing Process
1. Initial Discussion
Tell us what you’ve noticed and where the problem appears. Details about when it occurs, particularly during certain wind or rain conditions, can be useful.
2. Roof Inspection
We assess the affected area and the surrounding roof details. This helps us distinguish an isolated defect from a wider issue.
3. Clear Quotation
We explain what needs attention and provide a quotation for the proposed work. If different solutions are available, we’ll talk through them with you.
4. Roofing Work
Our team carries out the agreed repairs or installation using appropriate materials and careful working methods.
5. Final Checks
Once finished, we check the completed work, tidy the area and provide the relevant guarantee information.

Why Choose Terrabase Roofing?
We don’t recommend extensive work until we’ve inspected the roof and understood its condition. Some leaks can be resolved with a focused repair. Others are a sign that materials have deteriorated more widely. We’ll explain the difference and give you an honest recommendation.
Customers want reliable attendance, clear communication and confidence that their property will be respected. We plan access carefully, protect the surrounding area and keep you updated while work is underway.
Qualifying work completed by Terrabase Roofing comes with a 10-year written guarantee. The applicable terms will be set out clearly, so you know what protection is provided after completion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can an old roof be repaired?
Yes, provided the damage is localised and the surrounding materials remain serviceable. We’ll inspect the overall condition before advising whether repair or replacement is more appropriate.

Yes. We investigate leaks around tiles, valleys, flashing, chimneys and roof junctions to determine where water is entering.
