New Roof Installation
& Pitched Roofing Across Aylesford, Tonbridge & West Kent.

The varied architectural history of West Kent demands an adaptable, knowledgeable approach to materials. In historic conservation zones across West Malling, Aylesford village, and Rochester, maintaining heritage character is essential. We specialise in sourcing and installing traditional handmade Kent peg tiles and natural Welsh or Spanish slates, ensuring compliance with local planning authority requirements and preserving original building aesthetics.

For suburban developments in Larkfield, Ditton, and modern estates in Kings Hill, we install modern concrete interlocking tiles from leading manufacturers like Marley and Redland. Over time, older properties frequently suffer from nail sickness, where rusted iron nails allow tiles or slates to slip. We address this by replacing decayed timber battens, installing high-quality breathable roofing underlay, and securing tiles with corrosion-resistant fixings to withstand the strong wind-driven rains that strike the North Downs.

Whether you require a tough, single-ply EPDM rubber membrane for a garage in Maidstone or a seamless GRP fibreglass system for an extension in Snodland, our modern flat roofing solutions are engineered for long-term weather resistance. We prepare every flat roof with high-grade OSB3 timber decking to ensure a solid, structural foundation that prevents standing water from ponding and tracking inward.

When undertaking a complete flat or pitched roof replacement where more than fifty percent of the surface area is being renewed, building control standards apply. Under Part L of the Building Regulations, Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council requires thermal insulation to be upgraded to meet modern energy-efficiency requirements. We incorporate high-performance insulation boards seamlessly into our installations, helping you lower your heating bills while ensuring full regulatory compliance.

As a dedicated local sole trader, Levi King does not subcontract work to third-party agencies or deploy unverified teams. When you contract Tonbridge & Malling Roofing, you receive direct personal accountability. Our process begins with an honest, thorough on-site survey to inspect the structural integrity of your rafters, structural timbers, and wall plates.

Once scaffolding is safely erected—with absolute respect for the tight access lanes and parking restrictions common across central Tonbridge and Aylesford—we strip the existing materials cleanly. We replace compromised timbers, lay durable breathable underlay, and fix treated battens. The installation is completed with pristine ridge tile re-bedding, dry verge systems where appropriate, and Code 4 or Code 5 lead flashings around valleys and abutments to guarantee a completely watertight seal.

Exposed chimney stacks across Aylesford, Snodland, and Maidstone bear the brunt of local freeze-thaw cycles. Over time, moisture penetrates weathered sand-and-cement mortar, leading to spalling brickwork, cracked flaunching, and internal leaks. We provide durable chimney repointing, pot re-bedding, and structural flaunching repairs to restore structural integrity.

An essential partner to a healthy chimney is precision leadwork. We install and repair Code 4 stepped lead flashings, chimney aprons, and Code 5 lead valleys to prevent water tracking behind the brickwork. Alongside chimney maintenance, we offer complete roofline services, including guttering replacement, deep-flow gutter systems, and UPVC fascia and soffit installation to ensure rainwater is efficiently directed away from your property's foundations.
