Why Invest in a Complete Roof Replacement?

Patch repairs can only go so far when a roof has reached the end of its natural lifespan. Upgrading to a brand-new roof offers undeniable advantages that go far beyond basic weatherproofing.Enhanced Thermal Efficiency: Modern roofing systems dramatically improve your home's insulation. By integrating advanced breathable membranes like Tyvek and high-quality underlays such as Klober Permo Forte, a new roof prevents heat loss, potentially lowering your winter energy bills.Unmatched Structural Safety: Water ingress over time rots underlying timber battens and joists. A full replacement allows us to inspect and reinforce the structural integrity of your roofline before applying the new covering.Increased Property Value and Kerb Appeal: Whether you choose sleek slate or traditional clay tiles, a pristine new roof instantly revitalises the exterior of your Westminster property, adding significant value should you ever choose to sell.Long-Term Peace of Mind: Constant emergency call-outs for slipped tiles or leaking flat roofs quickly add up. A newly installed roof, backed by our comprehensive warranties, secures your property for decades to come.

Why Choose Kevington Roofing for Your New Roof Installation?

Our Professional Roof Installation Process

We pride ourselves on a methodical, customer-first approach that removes the stress from major home improvements. Our proven process ensures absolute precision from day one.1. Comprehensive Drone Survey: Before any scaffolding goes up, we conduct state-of-the-art drone roof inspections. This allows us to safely and accurately assess the condition of your existing roof, identifying hidden structural issues without causing any initial disruption to your property.2. Safe Stripping and Structural Assessment: Once the project begins, our team carefully strips away the old felt, battens, and tiles. We then perform a thorough inspection of the exposed timber trusses and joists to ensure the framework is sound.3. Weatherproofing and Battening: We lay down industry-leading breathable membranes to prevent condensation buildup, followed by treated timber battens installed to strict spacing guidelines.4. Precision Installation and Finishing: Your chosen materials are expertly laid. We utilise modern dry-ridge and dry-verge systems wherever possible, replacing outdated mortar methods with mechanically fixed solutions that withstand high winds and severe weather. Finally, all leadwork and flashing are meticulously dressed to guarantee a watertight seal.

Premium Pitched and Flat Roofing Solutions

Because London's housing stock is incredibly diverse, we supply and install a wide range of premium materials to suit both period properties and contemporary builds. For pitched roof installations, we frequently work with heritage-approved natural slate and traditional clay tiles from trusted manufacturers like Marley and Redland. These materials perfectly complement the historic character of Westminster's conservation areas while delivering exceptional durability.For extensions, garages, and modern flat roof replacements, traditional felt is no longer the only option. We specialise in high-performance GRP fibreglass roofing and EPDM rubber roofing. These seamless, flexible systems are highly resistant to UV damage, blistering, and tearing, making them the ultimate long-term choice for flat surfaces. Whatever the architectural style of your home, our roofing contractors will guide you toward the most reliable and aesthetically pleasing material.

Undertaking a roof replacement in central London often involves navigating strict local authority guidelines, particularly if your property is situated within a Westminster conservation area or involves a listed building.

Frequently Asked Questions About New Roofs

Do I need planning permission for a new roof in London?In most cases, replacing a roof on a standard residential property falls under permitted development and does not require planning permission, provided the new roof is of a similar height and appearance. However, if you live in a Westminster conservation area or a listed building, special permissions are usually required. We will advise you on this during your initial consultation.How long does a full roof replacement take?The timeline depends on the size of the property and the complexity of the design. A standard pitched roof on a terraced or semi-detached house typically takes between 3 to 5 days to strip, weatherproof, and re-tile. We always aim to secure the property against the weather at the end of each working day.Which is better for a flat roof: GRP or EPDM?Both are excellent modern alternatives to traditional felt. EPDM rubber roofing is highly flexible and installed in a single seamless sheet, making it perfect for resisting temperature changes. GRP fibreglass creates an incredibly tough, impact-resistant surface that is ideal if the roof might experience light foot traffic. Our specialists will recommend the best fit for your specific project.

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.
