Re-Roofing Gravesend Homes: A Vital Investment for Lasting Protection

If your roof is over 60 years old and you are constantly finding slipped tiles or new leaks, a full re-roof is usually more cost-effective in the long run. A repair is great for isolated damage, like a few tiles blown off in a storm, but if the underlying felt is perishing, a new installation is the best way to protect your home.

The price depends on the size of your house and the materials you choose. A small terraced house using concrete tiles will cost less than a large detached home using natural slate. We provide free, no-obligation quotes where we measure up and give you a fixed price so you can plan your budget.

For most semi-detached houses in Ramsden or Bromley, a full re-roof usually takes between 5 and 10 working days. This depends on the weather and how complex the roof shape is. We always make sure your home stays watertight every night while the work is ongoing.

Usually, you do not need planning permission for a re-roof as long as the appearance is similar to the original. However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building, different rules apply. We can advise you on this during our initial survey.

Yes, we have access to a wide network of suppliers across Kent. We can usually find a very close match for older clay or concrete tiles to make sure any repairs blend in naturally with the rest of your roof.

EPDM is fantastic because it is laid in large single sheets, which means there are very few seams where leaks could start. It is also highly resistant to UV rays and doesn't crack or rot over time like old-fashioned felt. It is a very smart choice for modern extensions.

We are based in Orpington and cover a 20-mile radius. This includes all of Bromley, Bexley, and South East London, as well as Sevenoaks, Dartford, and the surrounding Kent villages. If you are in Ramsden, Chislehurst, or Sidcup, we are just a short drive away.

We stand by our workmanship. Because we use high-quality materials and have 25 years of experience, we provide long-term guarantees on all new roof installations. This gives you total peace of mind that your home is protected.

A standard homebuyer's report often only looks at the roof from the ground with binoculars. Our drone survey gets right up to the chimney stacks and valleys. It can spot issues that might cost you thousands of pounds later, allowing you to negotiate the house price or ask the seller to fix the problems before you move in.

If your gutters are just blocked, a good clean will fix the issue. However, if they are sagging, cracked, or the seals have perished, it is often better to replace them with modern UPVC. New guttering is very affordable and prevents serious damp issues from affecting your brickwork.
