Our Complete Roof Replacement Process

Replacing a roof is a significant investment, which is why we ensure absolute transparency and professionalism at every stage. We begin with a thorough, high-resolution drone roof survey. This advanced technology allows us to safely and accurately assess structural integrity, chimney conditions, and hidden damage without the immediate need for disruptive scaffolding.Once we have agreed on an itemised, no-obligation quote, our directly employed team sets up safe, fully compliant scaffolding. We carefully strip away your old roofing materials, safely disposing of them while maintaining a clean and tidy site. Next, we install high-performance breathable membranes, such as Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte, ensuring optimal ventilation and preventing trapped condensation from damaging your loft timbers.New treated timber battening is then securely fixed, followed by the expert installation of your chosen covering. Whether you opt for premium Marley tiles, Redland concrete, or natural slate, we finish the installation using modern dry-ridge and dry-verge systems. By mechanically fixing the ridge and edge tiles rather than relying on traditional mortar, we create a maintenance-free finish that will not crack or blow off in high winds.

Call our expert roofing team on 01689 663319 to discuss your options.

Navigating UK Building Regulations Safely

We know that dealing with local authorities and building control can feel overwhelming for homeowners. As your trusted local experts, Kevington Roofing and Building LTD handles all the necessary regulatory red tape on your behalf. Under UK building regulations, if you are replacing more than 50% of your roof's surface area, the thermal insulation must be upgraded to meet current Part L standards.We ensure full compliance with all safety and thermal efficiency requirements. If you live in a designated conservation area in Southborough, Tunbridge Wells, or nearby Sevenoaks, specific rules dictate the types of materials you can use. Our extensive experience with local planning permissions means we can source the exact traditional clay tiles or heritage slates required to keep your property fully compliant while preserving its historic charm.Every new roof installation concludes with a comprehensive, long-term warranty, ensuring you have documented proof of professional, compliant craftsmanship for your records or for future property sales.

Do I need planning permission for a new roof?

In most standard residential cases, replacing an existing roof falls under Permitted Development and does not require formal planning permission, provided you are not significantly altering the height or structural shape of the roof. However, if your property is listed or located within a strict conservation area in Southborough, you will likely need permission to change the material or appearance. Our experienced team will advise you on the specific local regulations during your initial consultation and can help guide you safely through the process.

"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."

Philip Day

"Highly recommended! Great price! First class job. Nothing was too much for these lads, very polite, got the job done and more. When they had finished they cleaned up that well, even took some of my own rubbish away for me. Well done lads! Not often you get a good, honest local roofer anymore! Thanks again."

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.
