01

Replacing Period Roofing and Kent Peg Tiles

Southborough features a varied stock of period properties that require a sympathetic approach to re-roofing. Whether your home is fitted with traditional handmade Kent peg tiles or natural Welsh slates, our process involves careful material matching to preserve the original aesthetic. We strip back failing coverings to inspect the structural timber beneath, replacing perished battens and installing modern, breathable roofing membranes. This ensures your home stays protected against the prevailing winds that funnel through the valley, while retaining its heritage charm.

02

Modern Roofing and Thermal Compliance

For many homeowners, a full roof overhaul is the perfect opportunity to improve the energy efficiency of their property. Under current Part L Building Regulations, replacing a significant portion of your roof surface requires us to upgrade the thermal insulation to modern standards. We work closely with our clients to integrate high-performance insulation materials, ensuring your new roof installation is not only weather-tight but also contributes to a warmer, more energy-efficient home. We also install dry-fix systems for ridges and verges, which offer superior durability and require less maintenance than traditional mortar-bedded alternatives.

03

Flat Roof Upgrades Using Modern Membranes

If you have an extension, garage or dormer in Southborough that is suffering from a leaking flat roof, we provide professional, long-lasting replacements. We specialise in both EPDM rubber membranes and GRP fibreglass systems, both of which are designed to withstand heavy standing water and the freeze-thaw cycles common in this part of Kent. We remove the old felt layers and inspect the timber deck underneath to ensure a sound substrate before installing a seamless, high-performance finish. Whether you need a simple flat roof repair or a complete renewal, we provide robust solutions that stand the test of time.

04

Professional Leadwork and Chimney Maintenance

No roof replacement is truly complete without attention to the detailing that keeps water out of your home. We use professional-grade rolled lead sheet for all flashing, valley and chimney apron works to ensure a reliable seal around vulnerable junctions. As part of your roof project, we also inspect your chimney stacks for signs of spalling brickwork or failed mortar. By addressing these elements alongside your roof replacement, we ensure that your property remains watertight at every level, preventing water tracking and future structural damage.

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.
