Why Choose Kevington Roofing for Your New Roof Installation?

Why Invest in a Full Roof Replacement?

Investing in a new roof does far more than simply stop immediate leaks; it completely revitalises your property. Modern roofing materials are vastly superior to those used even a couple of decades ago, offering significant improvements in thermal efficiency, weather resistance, and overall home security.By upgrading your property with modern breathable membranes like Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte, we help prevent internal condensation and improve vital roof space airflow. A new pitched roof installation also gives you the opportunity to upgrade to a secure dry-ridge or dry-verge system. These modern, mechanically fixed systems eliminate the need for traditional mortar, which is prone to cracking and failing over time during severe winter storms.Alongside improved energy efficiency and structural safety, a brand-new roof dramatically enhances your home's kerb appeal, potentially adding significant value to your property.

High-Quality Pitched and Flat Roofing Solutions

We only use premium, industry-leading materials to ensure your new roof stands the test of time. For pitched roofs, we regularly install high-quality slate roofing and clay tiles to perfectly match the traditional aesthetic of older Royal Tunbridge Wells properties. If you require a more cost-effective yet highly durable option, we provide top-tier concrete tiles from trusted, reliable brands like Marley and Redland.For flat roofing in Tunbridge Wells, the material choices have evolved significantly. While traditional felt is still a viable option, we highly recommend modern alternatives for superior longevity. GRP fibreglass offers a tough, seamless finish that is incredibly resistant to foot traffic and weather. Alternatively, EPDM rubber roofing provides exceptional flexibility and durability, making it an ideal, long-lasting choice for residential extensions, garages, and dormer windows.

Royal Tunbridge Wells boasts a rich architectural history, and many local properties are subject to strict aesthetic guidelines.

Will I Need Planning Permission For A New Roof?

Will I need planning permission for a new roof? In most straightforward cases, replacing a roof falls under permitted development. However, if you live in a conservation area in Royal Tunbridge Wells, or if you are significantly altering the roof height or shape, planning permission may be required. We will advise you on this during your initial survey.How long does a new pitched roof installation take? Most standard residential roof replacements take between a few days to a couple of weeks. This timeframe depends heavily on the property size, current weather conditions, and your chosen roofing materials.What is the difference between EPDM and GRP flat roofs? EPDM is a durable, highly flexible rubber membrane applied in a single sheet, making it extremely resistant to cracking. GRP is a liquid-applied fibreglass system that forms a rigid, exceptionally tough seamless surface. Both are excellent choices, and we will recommend the best fit for your specific property.Do you offer guarantees on new installations? Yes, absolutely. Every single new roof we install comes with a comprehensive warranty to guarantee its longevity and provide you with complete peace of mind.

"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.
