How We Install and Repair Pitched Roofs

Our pitched roofing process is transparent, efficient, and tailored to the specific needs of your property. We begin with a thorough structural assessment, often utilising our advanced drone roof surveys to safely inspect hard-to-reach areas and pinpoint early signs of roof failure.Once the existing roof covering is carefully stripped away, we inspect the underlying timber framework. We then install high-performance breathable membranes, such as Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte. These materials are essential for maximising thermal efficiency and preventing harmful condensation from building up within your loft space.Following the membrane installation, we secure treated timber battens before laying your chosen slate or concrete tiles. We highly recommend modern dry-ridge and dry-verge systems. These mechanically fix the tiles in place without the need for traditional mortar, ensuring exceptional longevity and robust resistance against winter storm 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.
