Choosing the Right Materials for Your New Roof

We believe that a durable roof starts with premium materials. Our skilled tradesmen are highly experienced in installing a wide variety of systems tailored to your specific property needs and budget.Pitched Roofs: We work with traditional natural slate and modern concrete tiles from leading industry brands like Marley and Redland. These materials offer outstanding weather resistance and a classic finish that complements any UK home.Flat Roofing: For modern extensions, garages, and dormers, we install high-performance flat roofing systems. Choose from seamless EPDM rubber roofing, known for its incredible flexibility and longevity, or robust GRP fibreglass roofing, which provides a tough, impact-resistant waterproof seal.Beneath the surface, we upgrade your roof's core structure using industry-leading breathable membranes such as Tyvek and Klober Permo Forte. This prevents condensation build-up and ensures your home remains breathable and thermally efficient year-round.

Why Choose Kevington Roofing for Your New Roof Installation?

How We Install Your New Roof Step-by-Step

Upgrading to a new roof is a major project, but our structured approach ensures minimal disruption to your daily life. We keep you informed at every stage of the roof replacement process.First, we conduct a thorough structural assessment of your existing roof to identify any underlying timber decay or structural weaknesses. Once the old materials are safely stripped and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner, we install fresh, treated roofing battens alongside modern breathable underlays. We then expertly lay your chosen slate or concrete tiles, securing them with absolute precision.To guarantee maximum durability against harsh weather, we install modern dry-ridge and dry-verge systems. These mortar-free solutions provide superior ventilation and eliminate the need for ongoing pointing repairs. Finally, we finish the project by integrating high-quality UPVC roofline components, leaving your property completely weather-tight.

How do I know if I need a full roof replacement?

In most cases, replacing an existing roof falls under permitted development. However, if you live in a conservation area or are significantly altering the roof's height or shape, permission may be required. We can advise you on this during your initial site survey.How long does a new roof installation take? Depending on the size of your property and the current weather conditions, a standard pitched roof replacement usually takes between a few days to a week.

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.
