01

Meeting Building Regulations and Thermal Efficiency

A full roof replacement is a significant investment, and ensuring the work meets current standards is essential. When we undertake a new roof installation that involves replacing more than 50% of the surface area, we ensure full compliance with Building Regulations Part L. This includes upgrading your roof's thermal insulation to modern requirements, which helps keep your home warmer in winter and cooler during the summer months, while also reducing energy costs for the long term.

02

Traditional Pitched Roofing and Material Matching

Chatham features a diverse mix of housing stock, from historic slate-roofed terraces to mid-century suburban builds. We specialise in matching these traditional styles, whether you need authentic Kent peg tiles, natural Welsh or Spanish slate, or modern interlocking concrete tiles. We prioritise the structural integrity of your roof by ensuring that the timber battens are sound, the membrane is breathable, and all ridge and verge tiles are secured using modern dry-fix systems to prevent future wind damage.

03

High-Performance Flat Roofing Solutions

If you have a flat roof extension, garage, or balcony, we install advanced roofing systems designed for maximum durability. We favour EPDM rubber membranes for their superior flexibility and resistance to the harsh British climate, or GRP fibreglass for a seamless, hard-wearing finish. Each flat roof project includes a thorough inspection of the underlying timber decking to ensure a stable foundation, providing you with a watertight, low-maintenance surface that will not blister or pool water.

04

Managing Leadwork and Chimney Integrity

The finishing touches often dictate the longevity of a roof. We pay careful attention to essential leadwork, using Code 4 or Code 5 lead for chimney aprons, stepped flashings, and valley linings to prevent water tracking. If your chimney stack requires attention during a roof overhaul, we can perform repointing and flaunching repairs to ensure the brickwork and lead seals are fully integrated and weatherproofed against the prevailing winds across the Medway landscape.

Roof Replacement Advice

Frequently Asked Questions

Practical, trade-tested answers from Levi King regarding new pitched and flat roof installations, Part L thermal compliance, and tile selections across Snodland and Aylesford.

Is thermal insulation mandatory for a new roof under Part L?

+

When you decide on a roof replacement in Kent, you have to consider the Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council building regs. Specifically, Part L thermal insulation rules state that if you replace more than half of your roof area, you usually need to upgrade the insulation to modern standards. This isn't just about red tape; it makes a massive difference to your energy bills and how warm your house feels in the winter. Levi can talk you through how to meet these requirements during his site visit, looking at your current loft insulation and suggesting the most practical way to bring it up to code.

How long does a new roof installation in Snodland take?

+

Most standard domestic roof replacements take between one and two weeks, depending on the size of the house and the weather. Levi works efficiently to keep the time your home is under scaffolds to a minimum. He manages the delivery of materials and the skip hire so the site stays as tidy as possible. Throughout the process, the priority is keeping the building dry and secure, especially if the forecast takes a turn for the worse.

Will you replace my gutters and fascias at the same time?

+

It is often the most sensible time to do it. While the scaffolding is up and the old tiles are off, Levi can easily install new UPVC fascias, soffits, and guttering. This creates a complete, maintenance-free roofline that protects your rafters from rot and directs rainwater away from your walls. If your current guttering is still in good shape, Levi can carefully work around it, but most homeowners find that a full refresh at the same time as a new roof installation is the best way to avoid future repair costs.
