Our Pitched Roofing Process from Survey to Completion

We believe in complete transparency, which is why we guide you through every stage of your pitched roof installation or repair. Our process is designed to be seamless, minimising disruption to your daily life and protecting your property.1. Comprehensive Inspection: We start with a detailed assessment to check for signs of roof failure, such as damaged structural timbers or subtle water ingress. For complex or hard-to-reach areas, we utilise advanced drone roof surveys.2. Stripping and Preparation: If a full replacement is required, we safely remove the old materials down to the bare rafters, thoroughly inspecting the structural integrity before moving forward.3. Advanced Membrane Installation: We install industry-leading, high-quality breathable membranes, such as Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte. These advanced layers provide vital moisture control and superior thermal efficiency, allowing your roof space to breathe while keeping rainwater strictly out.4. Tiling and Finishing: We expertly lay your chosen materials, whether that is premium slate, clay tiles, or modern interlocking options from trusted brands like Marley and Redland. We highly recommend installing dry-verge and dry-ridge systems, which use mechanical fixings rather than traditional mortar bedding for a maintenance-free, storm-proof finish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pitched Roofs

What are the signs that my pitched roof needs replacing?Key indicators of roof failure include frequent water ingress, unexplained damp patches on your upstairs ceilings, sagging roof lines, or a significant number of cracked and missing tiles. If you spot excessive daylight entering your loft space, it is time to call our emergency repair team.Should I choose slate, clay, or concrete tiles?This depends largely on your property style, budget, and local planning rules. Traditional slate offers a beautiful, long-lasting finish ideal for older or period homes. Concrete tiles are highly durable and cost-effective for modern builds, while clay tiles provide a distinctive, warm aesthetic that ages beautifully. We can help you compare materials during your initial consultation.What is the difference between mortar bedding and a dry-ridge system?Traditional mortar bedding uses a sand and cement mix to secure ridge tiles, which can inevitably crack and fail over time due to weather exposure. A dry-ridge system mechanically fixes the tiles to the roof using screws and waterproof unions, offering superior ventilation, better thermal efficiency, and a storm-proof finish that requires almost zero maintenance.

"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.
