How Our Pitched Roof Installation Works

Replacing a roof is a significant investment, which is why we follow a meticulous, transparent process to ensure flawless results every time.Thorough Structural Assessment: We begin with a detailed inspection, often utilising state-of-the-art drone technology, to safely assess your roof structure and identify any hidden timber decay or water ingress without needing immediate scaffolding.Safe Removal and Preparation: Our team carefully strips away the old slates or tiles, disposing of waste responsibly and inspecting the exposed joists for structural integrity.Modern Breathable Membranes: We install high-performance, breathable underlays such as Klober Permo Forte or Tyvek. These advanced materials provide excellent ventilation, preventing harmful condensation build-up in your loft space.Battening and Tiling: Using treated timber battens, we secure your chosen finish. We work with industry-leading brands like Marley and Redland, ensuring long-lasting durability.Storm-Proof Finishing: To protect against extreme British weather, we install modern dry-ridge and dry-verge systems. These mechanically fixed solutions offer superior wind-uplift resistance compared to traditional mortar.

"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."

"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.
