Durable New Roof Installations & Re-roofing Across Orpington & Kent

A new roof is a significant investment, one that adds immense value, protection, and kerb appeal to your property. Here at Kevington Roofing and Building LTD, we provide comprehensive new roof and re-roofing services, meticulously tailored to your home’s unique style, your budget, and the long-term performance you need. Our process is clear and thorough: it begins with a detailed consultation and a structural assessment to understand your exact requirements. We manage every step, from the safe removal of your old roof covering to the precise installation of modern, breathable membranes – such as Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte – sturdy, treated timber battens, and your chosen high-quality tiles or slates. The result? A robust new roof designed to deliver decades of reliable protection, enhance your home's thermal efficiency, and significantly boost its aesthetic charm.
Pitched Roofing (Tiles & Slates): This classic choice for British homes is our speciality. We excel in installing both traditional and contemporary pitched roofs, working with a wide array of materials. This includes highly durable concrete tiles from trusted manufacturers like Marley and Redland, alongside natural slate (Welsh, Spanish) or man-made composite slates for that premium, enduring finish. We pay careful attention to every detail, ensuring perfect verges, ridge lines, and valleys for a flawless, completely weatherproof roof.
Flat Roofing (GRP, EPDM, Felt): Modern flat roofing systems are a world apart from the troublesome designs of yesteryear. We expertly install three leading solutions:

  • GRP Fibreglass: A seamless, cold-applied system that hardens into an incredibly tough, waterproof layer. It's perfect for walkways, balconies, and roofs with intricate shapes, often known as a 'fibreglass roof'.
  • EPDM Rubber: A flexible, single-ply rubber membrane renowned for its incredible elasticity and long lifespan. This durable option is fantastic for garages, extensions, and dormer roofs.
  • High-Performance Felt: We utilise advanced, multi-layer torch-on felt systems, providing a strong and cost-effective waterproof barrier, installed with precision for maximum longevity.
    Specialist Roofing (Lead, Zinc, Green Roofs): For projects demanding exceptional craftsmanship, we offer specialist roofing services. Our leadwork includes traditional bossing and welding, ideal for heritage properties. We also expertly install modern zinc and copper roofs, creating truly stunning architectural statements. For homeowners prioritising environmental benefits, we design and install Green or 'Living' Roofs, which offer natural insulation and support local biodiversity.

Urgent Roof Repairs & Preventative Maintenance for South East London Homes

Even a minor leak or a few slipped tiles can quickly escalate, leading to significant internal water damage, timber rot, and expensive structural issues. Our roof repair service is designed to be fast, highly efficient, and incredibly thorough. We don't just put a plaster on the problem; we meticulously identify the root cause – be it failed flashing, cracked tiles, blocked valleys, or storm damage. We provide rapid emergency call-outs across our service area to promptly secure your property and prevent any further damage. Beyond urgent fixes, we believe that regular, proactive maintenance is crucial. We offer essential services from professional moss removal to annual inspections, all designed to keep your roof in optimum condition year after year.
Common Repairs We Handle:

  • Leak Detection & Repair: Leveraging our extensive experience, we pinpoint the exact source of water ingress and provide a durable, lasting fix.
  • Tile & Slate Replacement: We pride ourselves on sourcing matching tiles or slates to seamlessly replace any cracked, slipped, or missing ones, maintaining your roof's integrity and appearance.
  • Chimney Repairs: Our expertise covers everything from re-pointing crumbling mortar joints and repairing damaged lead flashings to a complete rebuild of the chimney stack if required.
  • Ridge & Verge Repairs: We carefully re-bed loose ridge tiles using a robust mortar mix, and can also install modern dry-ridge or dry-verge systems for a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution.
  • Flat Roof Repairs: We skillfully patch punctures in EPDM or GRP systems, or seal splits in felt roofing, effectively extending its lifespan and restoring watertightness.
  • Moss Removal & Roof Cleaning: We safely remove unsightly and damaging moss, algae, and lichen, which can trap moisture and degrade your roof surface over time.

Advanced Drone Roof Surveys for Clarity & Confidence

Gain a crystal-clear, comprehensive understanding of your roof's true condition without the significant expense and disruption of scaffolding. Our drone roof survey service uses cutting-edge, high-resolution cameras to capture incredibly detailed images and videos of your entire roof structure. This includes those hard-to-reach areas often missed by ground inspections, such as chimney stacks, complex valleys, and high-level flat roofs. This service is an invaluable tool for pre-purchase homebuyer reports, precise insurance assessments, or simply to accurately diagnose a persistent roofing issue. You’ll receive a full, easy-to-understand report complete with annotated images, giving you a complete, visual breakdown of any defects or areas needing professional attention.
Benefits of Our Drone Surveys:

  • Safety First: No need for dangerous ladders or costly scaffolding for the initial inspection.
  • Cost-Effective: A much faster and more affordable solution compared to traditional survey methods.
  • Pinpoint Accuracy: High-definition imagery reveals even tiny cracked tiles, subtle signs of failed mortar, or other issues completely invisible from ground level.
  • Clear Documentation: Provides invaluable, undeniable visual evidence for insurance claims or crucial property negotiations.

Complete Roofline Solutions: Fascias, Soffits & Guttering

Your roofline – comprising your fascias, soffits, and guttering – forms a critical protective barrier between your roof and your property's walls. It's absolutely vital for preventing water ingress and allowing your roof space to breathe properly. At Kevington Roofing and Building LTD, we specialise in the complete replacement of old, deteriorating timber fascias, soffits, and bargeboards with high-quality, ultra-low maintenance UPVC systems. Crucially, unlike simply ‘capping’ or ‘cladding’ over old timber, our full replacement service involves carefully removing all rotten wood. We then meticulously check the rafter ends for soundness before installing a completely new, weatherproof UPVC system that will perform flawlessly for many years, without ever needing a lick of paint. We also expertly install, repair, and clean all types of guttering, ensuring rainwater is efficiently collected and directed away from your property.
Technical Terms Explained Simply:

  • Fascia: This is the long, straight board that runs along the lower edge of your roof, directly beneath the roof tiles. It’s where your guttering is fixed.
  • Soffit: The board you see from below, typically tucked under the fascia. Soffits often feature ventilation slots to allow air circulation in your roof space.
  • Bargeboard: Similar to a fascia, but found on the gable end of a house, covering the timber eaves.
  • Guttering: The essential channel that collects rainwater from your roof and directs it into downpipes, away from your home’s foundations.

FAQ

Clay Tile Roofing FAQs

Got questions about upgrading your property with a traditional clay tile roof? Read answers to common queries regarding natural clay tile installations, material longevity, and our trusted roofing services in Ramsden, Bromley, and Croydon & South London.

Why should I choose natural clay tiles for my Ramsden home?

+

Natural clay tiles are a fantastic choice for homes in the Bromley area because they offer a timeless look that matures with age. Unlike some other materials, the colour of clay tiles doesn't fade over time. They are also incredibly durable and can last for over 60 years if installed correctly by an expert roofer. They fit the aesthetic of many traditional Kent properties perfectly.

How long does a new clay tile roof installation take?

+

The timeframe depends on the size of your house, but a typical re-roofing project usually takes between one and two weeks. This includes setting up the scaffolding, removing the old roof, fixing any structural issues, and laying the new tiles. We always aim to keep disruption to a minimum while making sure the job is finished to the highest standard.

Can Kevington Roofing match my existing tiles for a repair?

+

Yes, we make every effort to find tiles that match your current roof. Whether you have a specific shade of red or a weathered brown tile, we use our network of local suppliers to source the best match. This is particularly important for partial re-roofing or tile replacement, as it keeps your home looking uniform.

What maintenance does a clay tile roof need?

+

Clay tiles are very low maintenance, but it is wise to have a quick check-up once a year. We look for any tiles that might have slipped or cracked due to heavy winds. It is also important to keep your gutters clear, as clay roofs can shed a bit of grit over time. If you notice moss growth, we can safely remove it to prevent it from blocking your drainage or holding moisture against the tiles.

Is a clay tile roof more expensive than concrete?

+

Natural clay tiles do carry a higher upfront cost than concrete versions, but many homeowners in Ramsden and Kent find the investment worth it. Clay tiles often last longer and can add more value to your property due to their premium appearance. We provide detailed quotes for both options so you can decide which fits your budget and your home's style best.
