Kent Peg Tile Roofing
Clay peg tiles are part of Kent’s traditional roofscape. Pro Guard repairs and renews peg tile roofs across the Weald and wider Kent, with careful handling of battens, fixings and matching tiles where stock allows.
About this service
Peg tiles are small clay tiles traditionally hung on pegs or nibs. They need the right gauge, underlay approach and skilled laying. Many period roofs mix original and later tiles after decades of patching.
We assess whether localised repair, partial re-tile or fuller renewal is appropriate, and discuss tile matching including reclaimed options.
Typical problems we solve
- Slipped or broken peg tiles
- Failed battens under traditional peg tile roofs
- Inconsistent previous patching
- Leaks at junctions on peg tile pitches
Benefits
- Experience with traditional Kent coverings
- Matching and reclaimed options where available
- Integrated leadwork and chimney repairs
Our process
We start with a professional inspection of your roof — using drone imagery where access is difficult — to identify the cause of the problem rather than just the symptom.
You receive a clear written quotation setting out the recommended works, materials and price, with no obligation.
Our experienced roofing team carries out the work using quality materials, keeping the site clean and organised throughout.
We complete a final inspection, remove waste responsibly and confirm any applicable workmanship guarantee.
Guarantees
Qualifying works are backed by a Pro Guard workmanship guarantee, confirmed in writing with your quotation.
Frequently asked questions
Can modern tiles replace peg tiles?
Sometimes planning or appearance considerations favour retaining peg tiles. Where a change of covering is appropriate we explain options after inspection.
Do you cover Tunbridge Wells and the Weald?
Yes. Peg tile and period roofing work is common across Tunbridge Wells, Cranbrook and the surrounding Wealden villages, as well as wider Kent.
