Local Building Regulations and Premium Materials

Navigating local building regulations and conservation rules can feel overwhelming, especially in historic areas like Rochester. As experienced local roofers, we handle the red tape for you. We ensure all new roof installations comply fully with current UK building regulations, focusing strongly on thermal insulation requirements and structural safety.We only install trusted, highly-rated materials. For traditional pitched roofs, we rely on established names like Marley and Redland alongside modern dry-fixing methods that outlast traditional mortar. For flat roof replacements, which are common on garages and extensions, we recommend advanced EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass systems. Unlike traditional felt that can blister and crack in the sun, these modern flat roof materials offer seamless, long-lasting waterproofing that expands and contracts naturally with the temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions About New Roofs

Do I need planning permission for a new roof in Rochester?In most cases, replacing a roof is considered Permitted Development and does not require planning permission. However, if your property is listed, located within a Rochester conservation area, or you are significantly altering the roof height or shape, permission may be needed. We can advise you on this during your initial site survey.How long does a new pitched roof installation take?A standard pitched roof replacement on a typical semi-detached home usually takes between 3 to 5 days, depending on the weather conditions and the complexity of the structure. We always aim to work efficiently while minimising disruption to your daily life.What is the difference between EPDM and GRP for flat roofs?EPDM is a highly durable, single-ply rubber membrane that is incredibly flexible and excellent at resisting extreme weather. GRP is a tough, seamless fibreglass system that is rigid and highly impact-resistant. Both are vastly superior to traditional felt, and we will happily recommend the best option for your specific extension or garage roof.

"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.

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.
