When is it Time for a Full Re-Roof?
Knowing when to repair and when to replace your roof is crucial. While minor storm damage or an isolated leak can often be fixed, continuously patching an ageing roof quickly becomes a false economy. It is usually time for a full re-roof if you notice daylight showing through your attic space, experience recurring leaks despite numerous repairs, or see a visibly sagging roofline.Another common warning sign in older Kent properties is 'nail sickness', where the fixings holding your slates or tiles simply degrade over time. You might also notice an excessive buildup of grit from deteriorating concrete tiles blocking your gutters. If your roof is fundamentally compromised, investing in a complete replacement guarantees long-term protection.

Answers to common questions about our Roof Replacement in West Malling
Why Choose First Choice Roofing Kent for Your New Roof?
Finding a reliable contractor can be difficult, but we have built our reputation on being honest, hardworking, and highly skilled.
How long does it take to replace a roof?
Most standard domestic roof replacements take between 5 to 10 working days, depending on the size of the house and the weather. We always aim to keep your home watertight throughout the process and will give you a clear timeline before we start.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof in Kent?
In most cases, you don't need planning permission for a simple replacement if the materials are similar to the original. However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building in West Malling or Sevenoaks, different rules apply. We can help you navigate these requirements during our initial consultation.
Can I change from felt to a rubber or fibreglass roof?
Yes, if you have a flat roof section, we can upgrade you from traditional torch-on felt to modern EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass. These materials often last much longer and come with extended warranties.
How do I know if I need a full replacement or just a repair?
If you are constantly dealing with leaks in different areas, or if the majority of your tiles are cracking and the underfelt has perished, a replacement is usually more cost-effective than constant patch repairs. We provide honest inspections and will only recommend a full replacement if it is truly necessary.
