How We Deliver Your New Roof Replacement

A successful roof replacement requires careful planning and flawless execution. Our proven process begins with a comprehensive assessment, often utilising advanced drone roof surveys. This allows us to safely inspect the structural integrity of your current roof, identify any hidden issues with the underlying timbers, and provide you with a transparent, itemised quote.Once works begin, we safely strip away the old materials before assessing the structural decking and joists. To guarantee excellent thermal efficiency and prevent condensation, we install high-performance breathable membranes, such as Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte.For pitched roofing, we carefully lay premium tiles or slates, frequently using trusted brands like Marley and Redland. We also install modern dry-ridge and dry-verge systems, which offer superior wind resistance and require far less maintenance than traditional mortar. If you are opting for a flat roof replacement, we apply long-lasting EPDM rubber roofing or robust GRP fibreglass, ensuring a seamless, watertight finish.

Why Choose Kevington Roofing for Your New Roof Installation?

Why Investing in a New Roof Matters

While emergency repairs can fix minor leaks, a complete roof replacement offers long-term peace of mind and significant structural benefits. A newly installed roof acts as a continuous protective shield, immediately stopping persistent water ingress that can cause damp, rot, and interior damage.Enhanced Thermal Efficiency: Modern roofing materials and breathable membranes significantly improve your home's insulation, helping to lower energy bills during the colder months.Increased Property Value: A visually striking new roof, finished with high-quality clay tiles, concrete tiles, or natural slate, dramatically boosts kerb appeal and structural value.Zero Maintenance Headaches: By upgrading to modern dry-verge systems and durable flat roof materials like EPDM, you remove the constant need for mortar repointing and patching.Long-Term Safety: Removing old, sagging, or overloaded roof structures ensures your property remains safe and secure for decades to come.If you are noticing frequent leaks or missing tiles, it might be time to consider a complete upgrade. Contact us on 01689 663319 for professional advice.

Frequently Asked Questions About New Roofs in Tonbridge

Do I need planning permission for a new roof in Tonbridge?In most cases, replacing an existing roof is considered permitted development and does not require planning permission. However, if your property is listed, located in a Tonbridge and Malling conservation area, or if you are significantly altering the height or shape of the roof, permission may be required. We can advise you on this during your initial consultation.What is the difference between EPDM and GRP for a flat roof?EPDM is a highly durable, flexible synthetic rubber membrane installed in a single sheet, making it incredibly resistant to leaks and temperature changes. GRP fibreglass is a liquid-applied system that cures to form a hard, seamless, and tough surface, ideal if the roof will experience foot traffic. Both are excellent choices for flat roof replacements, and we can recommend the best option based on your specific needs.How long does a full roof replacement take?The timeline depends on the size and complexity of your roof, as well as the weather. A standard pitched roof installation on a typical semi-detached house usually takes between 3 to 5 days. We always aim to secure the property quickly and keep disruption to an absolute minimum.

"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.
