Our experienced team can guide you through the options, whether you require a traditional pitched roof installation or a highly durable flat roofing system.For pitched roofing, traditional slate tiles remain a highly popular choice in Loughton for their natural elegance and incredible lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions About New Roofs

How long does a new roof installation take?For a standard semi-detached house in Loughton, a complete pitched roof installation typically takes between 3 to 5 days. Factors such as severe weather conditions and the complexity of the roof design can occasionally affect this timeline, but we always strive to secure the property as swiftly as possible.Do I need planning permission to replace my roof?In most cases, replacing an existing roof with similar materials falls under Permitted Development and does not require formal planning permission. However, if you are altering the roof height, adding new rooflights, or living in a conservation area, you may need approval. We will advise you on this during our initial roof survey.Are new flat roofs better than traditional felt?Absolutely. Traditional felt roofs often fail over time due to UV degradation and blistering. Modern alternatives like EPDM rubber roofing and GRP fibreglass are highly flexible, seamless, and can comfortably last for decades without suffering from the same weather-related wear and tear.

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.
