Our Pitched Roof Installation & Repair Process

We believe in doing things right the first time. Our thorough process ensures your new pitched roof is structurally sound, highly insulated, and visually stunning.1. Professional Drone Roof SurveysWe begin with a safe, high-resolution drone roof inspection. This allows us to assess the structural integrity of your roof timbers and identify any existing water ingress or slipped slate repairs without needing immediate scaffolding.2. Stripping and PreparationOur directly employed team carefully removes your old roof covering, safely disposing of the waste. We then conduct a full structural assessment of the underlying timber.3. Advanced WeatherproofingWe install high-performance, breathable membranes such as Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte. This crucial layer prevents condensation build-up in your loft space while providing maximum thermal efficiency and water resistance.4. Tiling and FinishingUsing industry-leading brands like Marley and Redland tiles, or premium natural slate, we lay your new roof covering to exact manufacturer specifications. We finish the installation with modern dry-ridge and dry-verge systems, which offer superior storm protection compared to traditional mortar bedding.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pitched Roofing

Should I choose natural slate or concrete tiles?Natural slate offers a beautiful, traditional aesthetic and can last well over a century, making it ideal for older properties and conservation areas. Concrete tiles, such as those from Marley or Redland, are highly durable, cost-effective, and available in various colours and profiles. We can help you choose the best option during your initial roof survey.What are the signs my pitched roof needs replacing?Look out for consistent water ingress in your loft, extensive daylight showing through roof timbers, severely sagging rooflines, or widespread broken and slipped slates. If you notice any of these issues, call us immediately for a professional roof inspection to prevent further internal damage.What is a dry-ridge system?A dry-ridge system mechanically fixes ridge tiles to the roof without using traditional mortar. Mortar can crack and degrade over time, leading to leaks and blown tiles. Dry-ridge installations are much more secure, highly weather-resistant, and provide excellent roof ventilation.

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.
