Roof Replacement in Kent — Not Sure Whether to Repair or Replace?
We assess the condition of the existing roof before recommending major works. 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 new roof or roof replacement involves stripping the existing covering right back to the timber structure, repairing or replacing any decayed timbers, renewing the underlay and battens, and installing a fresh covering of tiles or slates with new leadwork, ridges and verges. For flat roofs, the old system is removed and a new GRP, felt or EPDM system is installed on a sound deck.
A replacement is different from a repair because it addresses the whole roof rather than individual defects. We recommend a replacement when the covering has failed broadly, when timbers are decayed, or when repeated repairs are no longer economical. The result is a roof with a full serviceable life ahead of it, backed by a workmanship guarantee.

Our process
We start with a professional inspection of your roof — using drone imagery where access is difficult — to identify the cause of the problem rather than just the symptom.
You receive a clear written quotation setting out the recommended works, materials and price, with no obligation.
Our experienced roofing team carries out the work using quality materials, keeping the site clean and organised throughout.
We complete a final inspection, remove waste responsibly and confirm any applicable workmanship guarantee.
Guarantees
Qualifying works are backed by a Pro Guard workmanship guarantee, confirmed in writing with your quotation.
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, weather and the extent of any timber repairs. We confirm an expected schedule in your written quotation.
Will I need scaffolding?
Almost always, yes. Safe access is essential for a roof replacement, and scaffolding is included in the quotation. We arrange it as part of the works.
Do you replace the felt and battens as well as the tiles?
Yes. A proper roof replacement renews the underlay and battens as well as the covering, so the whole roof is built to last. We do not simply lay new tiles over a tired membrane.
Can I choose different tiles for my new roof?
Yes. We discuss tile and slate options, colours and profiles as part of the quotation, and help you choose a covering that suits your property and budget.
