Pitched Roofing

Pitched roofing remains one of the most popular and reliable roofing systems across the UK, offering excellent durability, weather resistance, and traditional appearance. At Kevin Hewitt Roofing, we work with a wide range of pitched roofing materials including natural slate, concrete roof tiles, and clay roof tiles, helping customers choose the most suitable option for their property, budget, and roof structure.

Natural slate roofing is well known for its long lifespan, attractive appearance, and traditional character, making it a popular choice for period properties and high-end homes. Clay roof tiles also provide a timeless finish with excellent durability and colour retention, while concrete roof tiles offer a strong and cost-effective solution available in a variety of styles and profiles. Each roofing material has its own advantages, but selecting the correct system is not simply about appearance — the structural weight of the roof is a major factor that must always be carefully considered.

The weight of roofing materials can vary significantly, especially between lightweight slate systems and heavier concrete or clay tiles. Before any new roof installation or re-roofing project, it is important to assess whether the existing roof structure can safely support the chosen material. In some cases, additional structural strengthening may be required to meet modern building standards and ensure the roof remains safe, secure, and long-lasting.

Different roof tiles and slates are designed to perform within specific pitch ranges, and using the wrong product on a roof that is too low or too steep can lead to water ingress and long-term problems. Certain tiles may only be suitable for steeper pitched roofs, while others are specifically designed for lower pitch applications. At Kevin Hewitt Roofing, we carefully assess the roof pitch, structural condition, and overall design of the property to ensure the most suitable materials and installation methods are used for a durable and weatherproof finish.

With decades of experience in pitched roofing throughout Derby and Derbyshire, we provide expert advice and professional workmanship on every project, ensuring every roof is built to perform reliably for many years to come.

Flat Roofing

Flat roofing systems have developed significantly over the last 20–30 years, with modern single ply membrane systems now becoming the preferred choice over traditional torch-on felt roofing. At Kevin Hewitt Roofing, we no longer install torch-on felt systems, as modern flat roofing materials provide far greater durability, flexibility, and long-term performance. Today’s single ply membranes are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions while also offering excellent UV resistance, helping to prevent premature deterioration caused by constant exposure to sunlight.

We specialise in the installation of high-quality EPDM rubber roofing systems as well as Restec GRP fibreglass roofing, both of which are trusted modern flat roofing solutions widely used across the UK. EPDM rubber roofing is known for its flexibility, seamless waterproof finish, and long lifespan, making it an excellent option for garages, extensions, and flat roof replacements. Restec GRP fibreglass roofing provides a strong and highly durable finish with excellent resistance to cracking, standing water, and weathering, while also offering a clean and modern appearance.

When installing a flat roof, it is important to consider whether a warm roof or cold roof system is most suitable for the property. A warm roof system places the insulation above the roof deck, helping to improve energy efficiency and reduce the risk of condensation within the roof structure. Cold roofs, where insulation is installed below the deck, are still used in certain situations but require proper ventilation to avoid moisture build-up and long-term issues. Choosing the correct flat roofing system depends on the structure of the building, ventilation requirements, and current building regulations.

At Kevin Hewitt Roofing, we provide expert advice on all aspects of flat roofing, ensuring every roof is installed using the correct materials, insulation methods, and waterproofing systems for maximum performance and longevity. With years of experience and professional qualifications in EPDM and GRP fibreglass roofing systems, we deliver reliable flat roofing solutions built to last.
