Why Choose Kevington Roofing for Your New Roof Installation?

High-Performance Materials for Lasting Protection

Choosing the right material is crucial for the longevity and performance of your new roof. We work with a wide variety of high-quality products from trusted manufacturers like Marley and Redland, ensuring a flawless finish whether you require pitched or flat roofing.For traditional pitched roofs, we offer classic natural slate installations that provide unmatched elegance and longevity, perfect for maintaining the character of older properties. Alternatively, concrete tiles offer a highly durable and cost-effective solution available in multiple profiles and colours.If your property features a flat roof extension, garage, or dormer, we specialise in modern, seamless systems. EPDM rubber roofing provides a highly flexible, weather-resistant barrier, while GRP fibreglass roofing offers incredible toughness and a sleek finish. Both options significantly outperform traditional felt roofs, eliminating common issues with blistering and cracking.Call us on 01689 663319 to discuss the best materials for your specific property.

Expert Roofing Advice

New Roof Installation FAQs

Considering a roof replacement? Here are answers to the most common questions we receive regarding our new pitched and flat roof installations for homeowners across Swanley, Sevenoaks, and Croydon & South London.

How much does a new roof installation cost in Swanley?

+

The cost depends on the size of your property and the materials you choose. A small terraced house using concrete tiles will cost less than a large detached home requiring natural slate. We provide free, detailed quotes that break down every cost, so you can make an informed decision based on your budget.

How long will it take to replace my roof?

+

Most domestic re-roofing projects take between one and two weeks, depending on the weather and the complexity of the roof shape. We work efficiently to make sure your home is "dried in" as quickly as possible to prevent any internal disruption.

Do I need planning permission for a new roof in Kent?

+

Generally, you do not need planning permission for a simple re-roofing project, provided the height of the roof does not change significantly. However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building in places like Eynsford or Shoreham, special rules may apply. We can advise you on these requirements during our initial site visit.

Should I choose a pitched roof or a flat roof for my extension?

+

This usually comes down to your budget and the style of your house. Pitched roofs are incredibly durable and offer a classic look, while modern flat roofs using GRP (fibreglass) or EPDM (rubber) are excellent, cost-effective options for extensions and garages. We can talk you through the pros and cons of each during your consultation.
