How We Install Your New Pitched Roof

Replacing a roof is a significant investment, which is why we keep you informed at every stage. Our transparent process is designed to give you complete peace of mind, from the initial inspection to the final sign-off.Comprehensive Drone Roof Surveys: Before we remove a single tile, we can conduct a detailed drone roof inspection. This safely identifies structural issues, hidden water ingress, or damaged leadwork without the immediate need for scaffolding.Safe Stripping & Structural Assessment: We carefully remove your old roof covering, inspecting the underlying timber joists and trusses for signs of rot or stress.Advanced Breathable Membranes: We install premium breathable underlays, such as Klober Permo Forte or Tyvek, which allow your roof space to breathe while remaining completely waterproof. This prevents damaging winter condensation.High-Quality Slates & Tiles: Depending on your property's style, we install premium materials from trusted brands like Marley and Redland.Modern Dry-Fix Systems: We use advanced dry-ridge and dry-verge systems. Unlike traditional cement mortar that cracks and degrades over time, these mechanically fixed systems offer superior wind resistance and require virtually no maintenance.Related Service: Find out more about our Drone Roof Surveys

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."

"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 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.
