This crucial layer prevents condensation build-up and improves the overall thermal efficiency of your home.Expert Tiling and Capping: Whether working with classic slate, heritage clay, or durable concrete tiles from trusted brands like Marley or Redland, we lay your new roof with absolute precision. We finish with secure dry-ridge and dry-verge capping systems to ensure long-lasting weather protection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pitched Roofs

How long does a new pitched roof installation take?The timeline depends on the size and complexity of your roof, as well as the materials chosen. On average, a standard residential roof replacement takes between 3 to 7 days. We always aim to complete the work efficiently while maintaining our rigorous quality standards and ensuring the site remains safe and tidy.Should I choose concrete or clay tiles for my East Grinstead home?Clay tiles offer a traditional, rustic aesthetic that perfectly suits historic or period properties, while concrete tiles provide a highly durable and cost-effective alternative for modern homes. During your free consultation, we will assess your property's structural load-bearing capacity and help you choose the best option for your budget and style.What is a breathable membrane and why do I need it?A breathable membrane, such as Tyvek, sits directly beneath your roof tiles. It prevents external water ingress from rain and snow while allowing internal moisture to escape easily. This drastically reduces the risk of condensation and timber rot within your loft space, which is a vital requirement of modern UK roofing regulations.

"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."

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.
