Many homeowners wonder whether a simple repair will suffice or if a full roof replacement is necessary. Common signs of widespread roof failure include persistent water ingress, sagging roof timbers, and missing or severely damaged tiles across a large area. If your roof is over 25 years old and requires constant patching, a new roof installation will often be more cost-effective in the long run.Do I need planning permission for a new roof in Sevenoaks?In most standard cases, replacing your roof like-for-like falls under permitted development and does not require planning permission. However, if you live in a conservation area, are changing the height of the roof, or are switching to a significantly different material, permission may be required. We will advise you on this during your initial consultation.How long does a new roof installation take?The timeline depends on the size of your property and the materials chosen. An average pitched roof replacement typically takes between three to five days, weather permitting. Summer offers ideal conditions for swift installations, but our skilled team is equipped to safely replace roofs year-round.
