Roofers Sevenoaks — Roofing Services in Sevenoaks, Kent

For non-urgent surveys we typically arrange a visit within a few days — Sevenoaks is within our routine service area, around 10 miles from our base. For active leaks, storm damage or other urgent issues, we can usually respond the same day, and our line is open 24 hours for emergencies.

Everything. Natural slate (particularly Welsh slate, which is common on Sevenoaks period properties), clay tiles, concrete tiles, single-membrane and felt flat roofing systems, milled rolled lead to BS EN 12588 for flashings and small flat lead roofs, and UPVC roofline products (gutters, fascias, soffits). For period properties we'll always try to match existing materials — including sourcing aged slate from salvage where appropriate — so the finished work doesn't look like a patch.

Most roofing work can be carried out year-round. There are some jobs that are weather-dependent — flat roof installations need dry conditions for proper adhesion, lime mortar work needs above-freezing temperatures, and major re-roofs are slower during shorter winter daylight. We'll always advise you on best timing at the survey and keep you informed if conditions affect the schedule once work has started. Emergency repairs (storm damage, active leaks) we tackle in any weather, since waiting isn't an option.

Yes — every quote we provide is detailed and in writing. For a larger project (full re-roof, listed-building work, etc.) the written quote may run to several pages, itemising materials, labour, access and any building control work separately so you can see exactly what you're paying for. A one-line phone-call price from anyone on a job this size is a red flag — that's how customers end up surprised mid-project.

Call us on 07466 480928 or send a message through our online form. We'll arrange a convenient time to visit your Sevenoaks property, look at the work properly, and give you a free, no-obligation written quote. There's no deposit, no pressure, and no chasing follow-up calls.

Cost depends on the type and scale of the work, the materials (matching aged slate or specialist tiles on period properties costs more than standard concrete), access (whether scaffolding or a tower is needed), and any underlying issues found during the survey. A single tile replacement and a full listed-building re-roof can easily differ by a factor of fifty. We never quote blind — we carry out a free site visit and give you a clear, itemised written quote so you know exactly what's included before you commit.

Sometimes, yes. For a like-for-like roof replacement using the same materials, planning permission is generally not required and conservation-area consent rarely is either. The complications come if you want to change materials (for example replacing natural slate with concrete tile) or significantly alter the roof's appearance — those usually need consent before work begins. Listed buildings within conservation areas have stricter requirements again. We'll flag any planning or consent considerations at the survey before any decisions are committed, and we work to materials and techniques that maintain the character of the property regardless.
