Our Step-by-Step Roof Installation Process

Replacing or installing a new pitched roof is a significant investment, which is why we prioritise transparency and precision at every stage. Our process begins with a thorough site assessment, often utilising advanced drone roof surveys to safely and accurately evaluate the condition of your existing structure. We will then provide a transparent, itemised quote with absolutely no hidden costs.Once approved, our directly employed team will carefully strip back your old roof. We then upgrade your roof’s thermal efficiency and ventilation by installing high-performance breathable membranes, such as Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte, along with treated timber battens. Finally, we expertly lay your chosen slates or tiles, finishing the apex and edges with modern, maintenance-free dry-ridge and dry-verge systems to ensure maximum wind uplift resistance and prevent mortar degradation over time.

Common Questions About Pitched Roof Installations

How long does a new pitched roof last?A professionally installed pitched roof can last anywhere from 50 to 100 years, depending on the materials chosen. High-quality natural slate roofs often outlive the building itself, while premium Marley or Redland concrete tiles comfortably provide decades of reliable protection when maintained correctly.Do you offer a guarantee on new roof installations?Yes. Because we use top-tier materials and modern dry-ridge systems, we stand behind the quality of our workmanship. We provide comprehensive warranties on all our new roof installations, giving you complete reassurance that your investment is fully protected.What is the difference between slate and concrete tiles?Natural slate is a premium, traditional material that offers exceptional longevity, fire resistance, and a beautiful rustic aesthetic, often required in conservation areas.

"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."

Philip Day

"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.
