01

Professional Tiled and Slate Roof Installations

Replacing a roof requires more than just swapping out old materials for new ones. We specialise in full roof overhauls using high-quality finishes that match your home's character, including traditional handmade Kent peg tiles, natural slate, and modern interlocking concrete systems. Levi King personally manages the installation process, ensuring that every battens, breathable membrane, and ridge tile is fitted to provide maximum longevity and resistance against the elements.

02

Upgrading Flat Roofs with EPDM and GRP

For property owners in Tilbury dealing with failing felt roofs, we provide modern, durable solutions designed for heavy-duty performance. Whether you have a garage or an extension requiring a new surface, we install seamless EPDM rubber membranes and hard-wearing GRP fibreglass systems. These modern materials are specifically designed to handle standing water and expansion, providing a watertight finish that standard bitumen felt simply cannot achieve.

03

Why Do Building Regulations Apply to My New Roof?

Under Part L of the current Building Regulations, a full roof replacement requires more than just replacing the exterior covering. When you replace more than 50% of your roof area, you are generally required to upgrade the thermal insulation to meet modern efficiency standards. We handle these compliance requirements as part of our service, ensuring that your home is not only weather-tight but also properly ventilated and energy-efficient for the future.

04

The Benefits of Direct Owner-Operator Craftsmanship

Choosing an independent roofer means you have direct accountability from start to finish. Levi King provides a hands-on service, personally inspecting your roof structure for signs of timber decay or lead flashing failure before beginning any work. By avoiding the overheads of national agencies and managing every project himself, Levi ensures a clean, professional site and a high standard of finish that prioritises structural integrity over speed. You deal directly with the person doing the work, not a middleman or a sales team.

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.
