FAQs
Tile Re-Roofing in Sevenoaks: FAQs
Do you provide tile re-roofing across all of Sevenoaks?
Yes, we cover the TN13 postcode area in full, including Riverhead, Dunton Green, Weald, Bat & Ball, Kippington.
Should I choose concrete or clay tile for my re-roof?
Concrete tile is the more economical, widely available option and suits most properties; clay tile costs more but gives a different colour and texture often chosen to match older or higher-status buildings. We advise on the right choice for your property and budget during survey.
How long does a tile re-roof last?
A well-installed concrete or clay tile roof typically lasts 40-60 years or more, though underlay, battens and flashings usually need attention before the tiles themselves do. We flag realistic lifespans for each component at survey stage.
Does Green Belt designation affect extending a house in Sevenoaks?
Green Belt policy applies primarily to new buildings and significant additions that would be disproportionate to the original dwelling, rather than ruling out modest extensions. We assess this against your specific property and its planning history.
