Our Complete Roof Replacement Process

Replacing a roof is a significant undertaking, which is why we handle every detail from start to finish. We never rely on unknown subcontractors; every stage is managed by our own trusted experts.Initial Assessment: We begin with a comprehensive structural assessment, often utilising drone roof surveys to safely inspect hard-to-reach areas and identify hidden faults.Safe Strip Down: Our team carefully removes the old roofing materials, stripping the structure back to the timber joists and checking for signs of rot or water ingress.Modern Membranes: We install high-performance, breathable membranes such as Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte. This crucial layer prevents condensation build-up while keeping the harsh British weather out.Precision Installation: Whether you opt for traditional slate tiles, robust concrete tiles from trusted brands like Marley and Redland, or a flat roofing system using EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass, we fit every component to the highest standard.Finishing Touches: We complete the installation with modern dry-ridge and dry-verge systems for maximum wind resistance, alongside premium UPVC fascias and guttering to ensure perfect drainage.

"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."

"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.
