01

Preserving Character with Authentic Kent Peg and Slate Roofing

West Malling is home to a wealth of period properties that require a sensitive, considered approach to roofing. We have extensive experience working with traditional materials, including handmade Kent peg tiles and natural slate. Replacing these features requires matching the original character of the building while upgrading the underlying performance. We do not believe in one-size-fits-all solutions; instead, we assess the specific pitch, timber condition, and historical requirements of your home. By combining traditional aesthetics with modern, breathable roofing underlays, we ensure your roof remains beautiful and weather-tight for decades to come.

02

Upgrading Flat Roofs with Modern EPDM and GRP Systems

Many extensions and garages in the West Malling area are prone to standing water or blistering on older bitumen felt surfaces. We specialise in replacing these outdated systems with high-performance modern alternatives. For larger flat roof areas, we often recommend EPDM rubber membranes, which offer excellent durability and flexibility. Alternatively, for complex shapes or small extensions, we install seamless GRP fibreglass roofing. Both systems provide a robust, long-lasting, and fully waterproof finish that is designed to withstand the heavy rainfall and freeze-thaw cycles common in this part of Kent.

03

Meeting Part L Building Regulations and Thermal Standards

Whenever we undertake a full roof replacement that covers more than 50 percent of the surface area, we ensure the project complies with current Part L Building Regulations. This means we include modern thermal insulation upgrades as part of our process. By properly insulating your loft space during the re-roofing work, you can significantly reduce heat loss and improve the overall energy efficiency of your property. We handle the technical details of ventilation and thermal compliance so you have complete peace of mind that your new roof is both secure and legally sound.

04

How does the roof replacement process work?

Every project begins with a thorough, honest survey of your existing roof structure. Levi King will examine the condition of your timber battens, flashing, and guttering to determine exactly what is needed for a durable, long-term repair. We prioritise clear communication, ensuring you understand the condition of your roof before any work begins. During the installation, we maintain a tidy, professional site and take care to respect your property and the surrounding area. From the installation of precision lead flashings to the final sweep-up, we are committed to high standards of craftsmanship and personal accountability.

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.
