Why Choose Century Roofing and Building? Trusted across Kent, Surrey, and Sussex for exceptional residential roofing. Whether you require rapid emergency leak repairs, a long-lasting flat roof installation, or a building regulations-compliant conservatory warm roof, our fully insured specialists deliver high-quality craftsmanship and transparent pricing on every project.

Comprehensive Solutions From Slate to Modern Flat Roofs

Our residential solutions cater to all property styles, combining traditional methods with modern innovations. We install high-performance pitched roofing systems using traditional Welsh slate, clay tiles, and Kent peg tiles, which are essential for heritage properties in local conservation areas. Each installation is designed to optimise thermal efficiency and airflow, mitigating the risk of interstitial condensation.

For flat roofing, we offer robust options including EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass, and high-performance torch-on felt. These systems provide exceptional weatherproofing and durability for extensions, garages, and balconies. Additionally, we specialise in conservatory warm roofs, replacing outdated polycarbonate structures with lightweight tiled systems that dramatically improve thermal U-values, turning underutilised spaces into comfortable, year-round living areas.

Adhering to Building Regulations and Conservation Standards

Before commencing any major structural roofing work, new installations, or spray foam removal, we assess all relevant building control requirements. Every complete replacement we undertake complies fully with Part L of the UK Building Regulations, which dictates strict thermal insulation standards to enhance energy efficiency. We handle the process meticulously, from calculating the correct pitch to executing structural load-bearing assessments and checking timber moisture levels.

Our deep familiarity with regional guidelines means we are fully equipped to manage projects within conservation areas in towns like Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells, and Canterbury. We carefully match existing tiles and use premium breathable membranes to ensure ventilation while preserving the historical character of traditional structures. From scaffolding safety to safe waste disposal, compliance and safety remain at the heart of our operations.

The Key Benefits of Upgrading Your Homes Roof

Investing in professional roofing upgrades delivers immediate and long-term benefits to your property. A newly installed pitched or flat roof significantly enhances your home's kerb appeal while substantially increasing its overall market value. By incorporating modern insulating materials and dry-fix ridge systems, you will enjoy lower heating bills and a more stable indoor temperature throughout the seasons.

In addition to thermal improvements, our comprehensive services provide absolute peace of mind during harsh autumn and winter storms. From precision leadwork and flashings to seamless roofline installations including new fascias, soffits, and guttering, we ensure that rainwater is efficiently channelled away from your foundations. Eliminating issues like moss accumulation, failing underfelt, and decaying timber prevents costly structural damp before it can compromise your home.

Local Coverage and Trusted Regional Expertise

Based in Ditton, Aylesford (ME20 6AS), Century Roofing and Building operates extensively within a 50-mile radius, bringing dependable craftsmanship to local communities. Our experienced teams are regularly active in Maidstone, Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, and Ashford. We also cover western Canterbury, Gravesend, Dartford, Orpington, Bromley, Croydon, Redhill, Reigate, Crawley, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, Guildford, Epsom, and Leatherhead.

Our reputation is built on transparent pricing, clear communication, and an unyielding commitment to quality. We provide physical site surveys and detailed roof inspections to diagnose issues accurately, ensuring you only pay for what is actually required. As your local roofing experts, we are committed to delivering outstanding customer service without any hidden costs or high-pressure sales tactics.

Answers to Common Roofing Questions

Homeowners often ask how long a new roof installation takes. Typically, a complete residential replacement takes between one and two weeks, depending on the scale of the project, complexity of the structure, and local weather conditions. We work efficiently to minimise disruption and ensure your property remains safe and watertight throughout the entire process.

Another frequent question is whether planning permission is required. In most cases, a direct roof replacement falls under permitted development, meaning planning permission is not needed unless the height is being altered or the building is listed. However, compliance with local building regulations is still mandatory, which is why we guide you through every regulatory step.

Roofing & Building FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about a new roof installation, emergency repairs, or a conservatory warm roof upgrade? Find expert answers to common queries regarding Century Roofing and Building's trusted services across Kent, London, Surrey & Sussex, Kent, Surrey, and Sussex.

How do I know if I need a full new roof or just a repair?

+

It usually comes down to the age and the "frequency" of issues. If you have one or two slipped tiles after a storm, a repair is perfectly fine. However, if the underlying felt is rotting, or if you find yourself calling a roofer every time it rains, the "patchwork" approach becomes more expensive than a replacement in the long run. We will give you an honest appraisal of your roof’s lifespan during our inspection.

What is the best material for a flat roof extension?

+

Modern flat roofing has come a long way. While traditional torch-on felt is still a great, cost-effective option, many of our customers in Kent and Surrey now opt for EPDM (rubber) or GRP (fibreglass). EPDM is incredibly durable and flexible, meaning it won't crack in the sun, while GRP provides a seamless, incredibly tough finish that you can even walk on if needed.

Why are lenders asking me to remove spray foam insulation?

+

This is a very common issue right now. Many mortgage providers and equity release companies are refusing to lend on properties with spray foam insulation in the roof space. This is because it can hide the condition of the roof timbers and, if applied incorrectly, can trap moisture against the wood, leading to rot. We specialise in the safe, professional removal of spray foam, cleaning the timbers and making sure your roof is breathable and mortgage-friendly again.

Can a conservatory warm roof really make the room usable in winter?

+

Yes, it makes a massive difference. By replacing a thin polycarbonate or glass roof with a lightweight tiled system and high-quality insulation, we transform the thermal performance. It stops the "greenhouse effect" in summer and keeps the heat in during winter. We make sure the conversion meets building standards for ventilation to avoid any damp issues inside the room.

How often should I have my roof and gutters cleaned?

+

In the South East, especially near wooded areas, moss growth can be quite aggressive. We recommend a check-up every year or two. Moss acts like a sponge, holding water against your tiles and increasing the risk of frost damage in winter. Our biocide treatments and manual cleaning methods remove the moss without damaging the tiles, extending the life of your roof significantly.
