Our Seamless Roof Installation Process

We know that a full roof replacement can feel like a major undertaking. That is why our process is carefully structured to be entirely stress-free for homeowners, keeping you informed at every stage.1. Comprehensive Structural AssessmentBefore any work begins, we conduct a thorough evaluation of your existing roof structure, including the timber joists and roofline. We check for hidden rot or water ingress to ensure the foundations of your new roof are completely sound.2. High-Quality Breathable MembranesModern roofs require excellent ventilation to prevent condensation. We strip away the old materials and install premium breathable membranes, such as Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte. This essential layer allows trapped moisture to escape while remaining completely watertight.3. Precision Battening and CoveringNext, we install treated timber battens before laying your chosen covering. Whether you prefer the timeless look of slate, the durability of Marley tiles and Redland tiles, or a sleek flat roof finish, we ensure precision alignment. For pitched roofs, we often recommend modern dry-ridge and dry-verge systems, which mechanically fix the tiles in place without the need for traditional mortar.

Frequently Asked Questions About New Roofs

Do I need planning permission for a new roof in the City of London?In many cases, replacing a roof is considered permitted development. However, if your property is listed, located in a conservation area, or if you are altering the roof height or material significantly, you may need planning permission. We can advise you on the specific requirements during your consultation.Should I choose a slate or tiled roof?Natural slate roofing offers exceptional longevity and a classic aesthetic, perfect for historic properties. Clay and concrete tiled roofs (such as Marley or Redland) provide excellent durability, a wide range of colours, and can be more cost-effective. We will help you weigh the options based on your budget and structural requirements.What is the best material for a flat roof replacement?For modern flat roofs, we highly recommend either GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber roofing. Both systems offer superior waterproofing, are incredibly durable, and do not suffer from the cracking or blistering associated with traditional felt roofs.

"Reliable and prompt - the Kevington team was able to view the property and provide options and transparent, itemised quotes on the same day I called. After deciding what level of work I wanted done, they returned soon after to carry out the roof repairs to a high standard without me even needing to be there."

Philip Day

"Highly recommended! Great price! First class job. Nothing was too much for these lads, very polite, got the job done and more. When they had finished they cleaned up that well, even took some of my own rubbish away for me. Well done lads! Not often you get a good, honest local roofer anymore! Thanks again."

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.
