Not Sure Whether Your Sevenoaks Roof Needs Repairing or Replacing?
We assess the condition of the existing roof before recommending major works in Sevenoaks and the surrounding area, including Riverhead, Seal, Kemsing, Dunton Green. Where a repair remains appropriate, we will explain that option rather than automatically recommending full replacement. If replacement is required, we provide a clear written scope and quotation sent directly by WhatsApp or email. Any additional or unforeseen works would be discussed before proceeding.
About this service
A roof replacement strips the existing covering back to the timber structure, repairs or renews any decayed timbers, renews the underlay and battens, and installs a fresh covering of tiles or slates with new leadwork, ridges and verges. We recommend a replacement when the covering has failed broadly, when timbers are decayed, or when repeated repairs are no longer economical.
Typical problems we solve
- A roof covering that has failed across most or all of its area
- Repeated leaks that repairs no longer resolve
- Decayed or sagging roof timbers
- An extension or new build requiring a complete new roof
Benefits
- A complete roof with a full serviceable life ahead of it
- Quality tiles, slates, breathable membranes and leadwork
- Sound timberwork repaired or renewed as part of the job
- Improved weather resistance and energy performance
- Up to 10-year workmanship guarantee on qualifying installations
- Waste removed responsibly and site left clean
Our process
We inspect the roof — including the timber structure — and provide a written quotation setting out the covering, membranes, leadwork, any timber repairs and the price. Safe scaffolding access is arranged as part of the works.
How we carry out the work
The old covering is stripped, timbers inspected and repaired, a breathable underlay and new battens installed, and the tiles or slates laid with new leadwork, ridges and verges. A final inspection and handover complete the job, with waste removed responsibly.
Drainage considerations
As part of a replacement we check and renew valley linings, gutters and downpipes so the whole roof sheds water correctly, not just the covering.
Edging and finishing
New dry ridge and dry verge systems or mortar ridges and verges are installed to current standards, giving a neat, wind-resistant edge and ridge.
Maintenance information
A new roof needs little more than routine gutter clearing and occasional inspection. We provide aftercare guidance on handover and are on call for any questions.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most domestic roof replacements are completed within a few days to two weeks depending on size, complexity and weather. We confirm an expected schedule in your written quotation.
Do you replace the felt and battens?
Yes. A proper roof replacement renews the underlay and battens as well as the covering, so the whole roof is built to last.
