Why Choose Us for Your Pitched Roof Installation in Bromley?

Choosing the Right Materials: Tiles, Slates, and More for Your Tilbury Roof

The choice of roofing material plays a huge part in your new pitched roof's performance and appearance. We work with a wide range of top-quality options to suit any style or budget.

  • Durable Concrete Tiles: Popular and versatile, brands like Marley and Redland offer excellent longevity and a wide choice of colours and profiles. They're a robust, cost-effective solution for many Tilbury homes.
  • Elegant Natural Slate: For a premium, timeless look, natural slate (from sources like Welsh or Spanish quarries) provides exceptional durability and a classic aesthetic. Each slate is unique, creating a beautiful, characterful finish.
  • Modern Man-Made Slates: These composite slates offer the appearance of natural slate with consistent quality and often at a more accessible price point. They are lightweight and incredibly hard-wearing.
    We guide you through all the options, explaining the pros and cons of each, so you can make the best decision for your specific project.

Our Meticulous Pitched Roof Installation Process in Tilbury

Installing a new pitched roof demands precision and expertise, and our process is designed for flawless results. We start with a comprehensive site visit and consultation at your Tilbury property, discussing your needs, property style, and budget. Our work then includes:

  1. Safe Removal: Carefully stripping away your old roof covering.
  2. Structural Check: Inspecting and preparing the roof timbers.
  3. Modern Underlayment: Installing advanced, breathable membranes (like Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte) for enhanced ventilation and moisture control.
  4. Treated Battens: Fixing high-quality, treated timber battens to secure your chosen tiles or slates.
  5. Expert Tiling/Slating: Laying your selected tiles or slates with meticulous attention to detail, including precise cuts, overlaps, and fixings.
  6. Flashing & Finishing: Expertly installing leadwork around chimneys, valleys, and verges, ensuring every detail is watertight and visually appealing.
    Our team works efficiently, safely, and always keeps your property tidy, minimising disruption throughout the project.

What Our Clients Say About Kevington Roofing and Building LTD

"Fantastic service from the team at Kevington Roofing and Building today. They were recommended by a friend and I was very impressed. I’ll be using them again."

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.
