Why Choose Us for Your Pitched Roof Installation in Bromley?

Choosing the Right Materials for Your Pitched Roof

The choice of material for your new pitched roof is crucial, influencing both its appearance and longevity. We work with a wide range of premium products, ensuring you get the best fit for your property's style and your budget.

  • Concrete Tiles: A popular and cost-effective choice, concrete tiles from leading brands like Marley and Redland offer excellent durability, come in various profiles and colours, and are designed to withstand the British weather.
  • Natural Slate: For a timeless, elegant finish, natural slate (including Welsh and Spanish options) provides incredible longevity and a classic aesthetic. Each piece is unique, offering unmatched character.
  • Man-Made Composite Slates: A fantastic alternative to natural slate, these engineered slates provide a uniform look, are lightweight, durable, and often more cost-effective to install, while still delivering a premium appearance.
    We'll guide you through the pros and cons of each option, helping you make an informed decision for your Chigwell home.

Beyond the Surface: Building a Robust Roof Structure

A quality pitched roof is much more than just the tiles you see. We pay meticulous attention to the underlying structure and critical details that ensure long-term performance. This includes installing high-performance breathable membranes, such as Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte, which allow your roof to 'breathe' while keeping water out. We use only treated timber battens, fixed securely, forming the foundation for your chosen covering. Crucial elements like leadwork for chimney flashings, valleys, and dormer windows are executed with traditional craftsmanship, ensuring robust waterproofing in these vulnerable areas. Proper ventilation is also key to preventing condensation and timber rot within your roof space.

Celia Bennett

"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."

Pitched Roof FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Pitched Roof Installations

Answers to common questions regarding our new pitched roofs, slate roofing, and tiled roof replacements in Ramsden, Bromley, and across Croydon & South London.

What is the average cost of a new pitched roof in Kent?

+

The price of a new roof depends on the size of your house and the materials you choose. A small terraced house using concrete tiles will cost less than a large detached home using natural slate. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you know the exact cost for your specific property in Ramsden or the surrounding areas.

How do I know if I need a full new roof or just a repair?

+

If your roof is over 60 years old and you are constantly seeing leaks or slipped tiles, a replacement is often more cost-effective in the long run. If the damage is limited to one area, a repair is usually enough. We can carry out a drone survey to give you an honest assessment of what is required.

How long does it take to install a new roof?

+

Most residential pitched roof installations take between 5 and 10 working days, depending on the weather and the size of the building. We work efficiently to make sure your home is watertight as quickly as possible.

Do I need planning permission for a new roof in Bromley?

+

Usually, you don't need planning permission to replace a roof, provided the appearance is similar to the original. However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building, different rules apply. We can advise you on this during our initial visit.

What are the benefits of slate roofing vs tiled roofs?

+

Slate is incredibly durable and can last over a hundred years, offering a beautiful, natural look. Concrete or clay tiles are more common and come in a wider variety of colours and shapes, often making them a more budget-friendly option for modern homes in Ramsden.
