01

Meeting the architectural character of Tonbridge

Tonbridge features a unique mix of building styles, from the historic character of period clay-tiled cottages to the robust slate roofs found on Victorian townhouses. We take care to match materials to your property’s original aesthetic. If you have a heritage property, we can source and install traditional Kent peg tiles or natural Welsh slate to maintain your home’s character. For 1960s or 1970s suburban housing, we often install high-performance concrete interlocking tiles, such as Marley Modern or Redland profiles, which offer excellent durability against the prevailing winds that funnel through the Medway Valley.

02

Thermal efficiency and Building Regulations Part L

Replacing your entire roof is a significant investment, and modern standards require more than just new tiles. Under Part L of the current Building Regulations, replacing 50% or more of your roof area necessitates an upgrade to modern thermal insulation. We ensure your new roof is fully compliant, providing the necessary heat retention and moisture control. By integrating breathable roof membranes, high-quality timber deck replacements, and efficient insulation, we build roofs that are not only structurally sound but also significantly more energy-efficient than older structures.

03

Flat roof replacement using EPDM and GRP

Many homeowners in Tonbridge and Malling require flat roof solutions for extensions, garages, or dormer windows. We specialise in modern, seamless systems that outperform traditional multi-layer felt. For larger surface areas, we use EPDM rubber membranes, which offer incredible flexibility and a lifespan of several decades. For smaller or more complex areas, we install GRP fibreglass, providing a rigid, completely joint-free finish that is ideal for coping with the heavy rain and standing water we often experience in Kent.

Why choose a direct owner-operator for your roof project?

By working with an independent sole trader, you deal directly with the person doing the work. Levi King manages all aspects of your roofing project, ensuring the site remains tidy and that technical details—such as lead flashing, step-flashing, and ridge tile re-bedding—are executed correctly. We do not use third-party agencies or subcontractors. This personal accountability ensures that the work is finished to a high standard, providing the watertight integrity your home deserves. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your specific needs, please feel free to reach out.

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.
