How Our Pitched Roof Installation Process Works

We believe in complete transparency from the moment you contact us. Our pitched roof installation and replacement service is designed to be smooth, safe, and entirely stress-free for the homeowner.1. Initial Drone Roof SurveyWe often start with a comprehensive drone roof inspection. This allows us to safely assess the condition of your existing tiles, identify any roof timber repairs needed, and check the integrity of your chimney without the immediate need for costly scaffolding.2. Stripping and Structural AssessmentOnce scaffolding is safely erected, we carefully remove the old covering. We assess your timber joists for damp, rot, or sagging, carrying out vital structural repairs to ensure a solid, dependable foundation.3. Breathable Membranes and BatteningModern roofing relies on excellent ventilation to prevent condensation. We install high-performance breathable membranes, such as Klober Permo Forte or Tyvek, alongside treated timber battens. This ensures your home breathes while meeting current thermal efficiency standards.4. Tiling, Slating and FinishingWe lay your chosen finish, whether that is natural slate roofing, traditional clay tiles, or highly durable concrete tiles from trusted brands like Marley and Redland. Finally, we install secure dry-verge and dry-ridge systems, eliminating the need for traditional mortar and offering superior wind resistance.

Common Questions About Pitched Roofing

What is the difference between concrete and clay tiles?Clay tiles offer a very traditional, rich aesthetic that weathers beautifully over time, making them ideal for older or period properties. Concrete tiles are generally more cost-effective and highly durable, often used in modern developments and fast replacements. We can source premium options in both materials, including trusted Redland and Marley tiles.How long does a new pitched roof take to install?A standard terraced or semi-detached pitched roof replacement typically takes between 3 to 5 days. This timeline depends on weather conditions and whether extensive structural roof timber repairs are required once the old covering is stripped away.Do you handle emergency roof repairs in Horley?Yes. If you have suffered sudden storm damage, unexpected water ingress, or a collapsed ceiling, our team provides fast-response emergency roof repair to secure your property, install temporary weatherproofing, and prevent further internal damage.

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.
