01

Tailored Roofing Solutions for Your Property

Every home has unique requirements, which is why we offer bespoke roofing solutions rather than one-size-fits-all fixes. For pitched roofs, we specialise in the expert application of traditional materials like Kent peg tiles and natural slate, alongside modern, high-performance concrete interlocking tiles. If your flat roof needs attention, our EPDM rubber membrane and seamless GRP fibreglass systems provide superior protection against standing water and the harsh, unpredictable weather often experienced along the North Downs escarpments.

02

Ensuring Compliance with Building Regulations

When we undertake a complete roof replacement, we strictly adhere to Building Regulations. Specifically, we ensure that projects exceeding 50 percent of the roof surface area meet current Part L requirements regarding thermal insulation. By upgrading your insulation to modern standards during the installation, we help improve your home's energy efficiency while ensuring the long-term integrity of the roof structure. We manage all technical detailing, including breathable membranes and proper ventilation, to prevent future condensation issues.

03

From Timber Inspection to Final Detailing

A successful roof installation goes far beyond just the outer tiles. Levi personally manages every phase of the project, beginning with a thorough inspection of the underlying timber deck or rafters to ensure they are sound. We pay close attention to critical finishing touches, such as professional lead flashing installation—using Code 4 or 5 lead—and the fitting of secure, low-maintenance dry-verge systems. These elements are essential for keeping water out and preventing damage to your property over the coming decades.

04

We pride ourselves on maintaining tidy work sites and respecting the local environment in Swanscombe and Dartford. By choosing an owner-operator, you gain the benefit of direct expertise and honest, practical advice without the intrusion of high-pressure sales tactics.

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.
