Hands-On Trade Quality Owner-operator Levi King installs every roof to full Part L Building Regulations.
01

Technical Standards and Building Regulations Part L

A roof replacement is more than just swapping old tiles for new ones. Modern Building Regulations, specifically Part L, require that when you replace 50 percent or more of your roof area, you must upgrade the thermal insulation to meet current efficiency standards. We ensure your new roof is not only aesthetically pleasing but also thermally compliant, incorporating high-quality breathable membranes and correct ventilation to prevent moisture build-up and heat loss. Every installation is handled with a focus on durability, ensuring your property is fully protected against the elements.

02

Specialist Pitched and Flat Roofing Solutions

We offer a diverse range of roofing materials tailored to the unique architecture of Thurrock properties. For pitched roofs, we work with everything from traditional handmade Kent peg tiles and natural slate to durable concrete interlocking systems. For extensions, garages, or dormers, we specialise in modern flat roof replacements using seamless GRP fibreglass or heavy-duty EPDM rubber membranes. These materials provide a superior, watertight finish that is designed to withstand heavy rain and seasonal temperature fluctuations without the risk of pooling or cracking.

03

What to expect during your new roof installation

From the initial site visit to the final cleanup, Levi King manages every detail personally. We start by stripping away the failing coverings to inspect the condition of your timber rafters and decking, repairing any rot or structural defects before laying the new underlay. We pay careful attention to essential details like code-rated lead flashings, chimney aprons, and secure ridge fixings. Our goal is to leave your home watertight and tidy, providing a finished roof that enhances both the value and the security of your property.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Replacement in Snodland

Practical guidance from Levi King on pitched re-roofing, Part L thermal regulations, slate and tile matching, and project timelines across Snodland and Aylesford.

How do I know if I need a full roof replacement or just a repair?

+

If you’re seeing multiple leaks, finding bits of broken tile in your gutters every time it rains, or if the roofline looks like it’s sagging, it is time for a professional look. I’ll get up on the tiles and give you an honest assessment. Sometimes a targeted repair can buy you a few more years, but if the underlying felt has perished or the nails have corroded—something often called 'nail sick'—a replacement is usually the safer, more cost-effective choice in the long run.

Will I need planning permission for a new roof in Snodland?

+

For most homes, replacing your roof tiles on a like-for-like basis falls under permitted development, so you won't need full planning permission. However, if your property is listed or sits within a conservation area in the Tonbridge and Malling borough, there are stricter rules about the materials you use. I help you navigate these choices to make sure your new roof stays within the local guidelines.

How long does a new roof installation typically take?

+

A standard semi-detached house in Snodland usually takes about one to two weeks to strip and re-roof. This depends on the weather and the complexity of the chimney stacks and leadwork. I aim to keep the site tidy and the process as quick as possible so your daily routine isn't disrupted.

What happens to the old roofing materials?

+

I handle the full removal of all old tiles, perished felt, and rotten battens. Everything is cleared from your property and disposed of properly. I leave your driveway and garden exactly how I found them.

Do you replace gutters and fascias at the same time?

+

It is the best time to do it. While the scaffolding is up and the bottom row of tiles is off, replacing your fascias, soffits, and guttering is much easier and cheaper. I can install high-capacity UPVC systems that direct rainwater away from your walls, which is vital for homes exposed to the wind in the Medway Valley.
