What are the signs your pitched roof needs attention?

Recognising the Early Warning Signs of Roof FailureA failing roof rarely happens overnight. Spotting the early warning signs can save you from costly internal damage and structural issues down the line. If you notice damp patches appearing on your upstairs ceilings, or daylight showing through the rafters in your loft, water ingress has likely already begun. Outside, you might spot slipped slates, cracked clay tiles, or crumbling mortar around the ridge.Another common indicator is a visible sag in the roofline, which suggests the underlying timber needs assessment and potential roof timber repairs. We also frequently see issues with degraded roof felt and breathable membranes failing in older properties. If you have spotted any of these issues, especially after a heavy winter storm, do not ignore them. We provide fast response emergency roof repair services across Reigate and Banstead to prevent further internal damage and keep your home watertight.

Pitched Roofing FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Pitched Roofs

Got questions about slate, tiled, or new pitched roof installations? Find answers from Kevington Roofing and Building LTD below, covering our expert roofing services across Swanley, Sevenoaks, and Croydon & South London.

How much does a new pitched roof cost in Kent?

+

There is no "one size fits all" price because every house is different. Factors include the size of the roof, the pitch (steepness), and the materials you choose. For example, natural slate is more expensive than concrete tiles but lasts much longer. We provide free, detailed quotes that break down every cost so you can make an informed decision.

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

+

In most cases, you don't need planning permission to replace an existing roof or perform repairs, provided the height isn't significantly increased. However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building, different rules apply. We can advise you on the local Dartford or Sevenoaks council requirements during our initial visit.

How long does it take to replace a tiled roof?

+

A standard semi-detached house in Swanley usually takes between 5 to 9 working days, depending on the weather. We work efficiently to make sure your home isn't open to the elements for any longer than necessary, and we always leave the site tidy at the end of every day.

Should I choose slate or concrete tiles?

+

Slate offers a beautiful, traditional look and can last over 100 years, making it great for older properties. Concrete tiles, like those made by Marley, are very durable, come in various colours, and are generally more budget-friendly. We can show you samples of both to help you decide what fits your home’s style.
