Is It Time for a New Roof? Clear Signs Your Home Needs Re-Roofing

How do you know when a simple repair just won't cut it? Look out for these common indicators that your roof might need a full replacement. You might notice widespread broken, cracked, or missing tiles and slates, especially after stormy weather. Perhaps you have persistent leaks, despite previous repair attempts, suggesting a deeper underlying issue with your roof's integrity or membrane. Sagging or dipping in the roofline can point to structural problems or water damage to the decking underneath. An increase in your heating bills, even with insulation, could mean your old roof is no longer providing adequate thermal efficiency. Finally, if your roof simply looks old, worn out, or mismatched, a re-roof can dramatically improve your home's kerb appeal and add significant value.

Our Comprehensive Re-Roofing Process: Tailored for Your Chatham Home

Undertaking a re-roofing project with Kevington Roofing and Building LTD means a smooth, professional, and fully transparent experience from start to finish. Our process begins with a detailed, no-obligation consultation at your property. We carefully assess your existing roof's condition, discuss your specific needs, and help you explore the best material options that suit your property's style, your budget, and the local architecture of Chatham. We then provide a clear, itemised quotation outlining all labour and material costs. Once agreed, our skilled team manages everything: safely removing the old roof covering, inspecting and preparing the roof deck, installing modern breathable membranes (like Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte) and treated timber battens, and finally, expertly laying your chosen tiles or slates. We conclude with a thorough clean-up and a final inspection, leaving you with a beautiful, durable new roof.

Pitched Roofing Excellence: Durable Tiles & Elegant Slates for Lasting Protection

Pitched roofs are a hallmark of British homes, renowned for their classic aesthetic and excellent drainage. We are specialists in installing both traditional and contemporary pitched roofing systems. For strength and longevity, we work with high-quality concrete tiles from leading manufacturers like Marley and Redland, available in a variety of colours and profiles to complement your home. If you're seeking a premium, timeless finish, we expertly install natural slate, sourced from reputable quarries (Welsh or Spanish), or high-performance man-made composite slates that offer similar beauty with enhanced durability. Our team meticulously handles every detail, from precise tile cutting to ensuring flawless verges, ridge lines, and valleys, guaranteeing a completely weatherproof and visually stunning finish for your Chatham property.

Modern Flat Roofing Solutions for Extensions, Garages & Dormers

Beyond traditional pitched roofs, many properties in and around Chatham feature flat roof sections on extensions, garages, dormer windows, or even balconies. The good news is that modern flat roofing systems are incredibly robust and long-lasting, far superior to older felt systems. We offer three leading solutions: GRP fibreglass, a seamless, cold-applied system that cures to a tough, completely waterproof layer, perfect for complex shapes or areas with foot traffic. EPDM rubber, a flexible, single-ply membrane known for its exceptional lifespan and ease of maintenance, ideal for various flat roof applications. And for a cost-effective yet resilient option, we install high-performance, multi-layer torch-on felt systems, meticulously applied for maximum longevity and resistance to the elements.

After deciding what level of work I wanted done, they returned soon after to carry out the roof repairs to a high standard without me even needing to be there."

"Highly recommended! Great price! First class job. Nothing was too much for these lads, very polite, got the job done and more. When they had finished they cleaned up that well, even took some of my own rubbish away for me. Well done lads! Not often you get a good, honest local roofer anymore! Thanks again."

Re-Roofing FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About House Re-Roofing

Answers to common questions regarding pitched roof replacements, local building regulations, and our expert house re-roofing services across Ramsden, Bromley, and Croydon & South London.

How long does a full house re-roofing project take in Ramsden?

+

Most standard residential re-roofing projects take between five and ten working days. This depends on the size of your house and the weather. A simple 3-bed semi-detached home usually falls on the shorter end of that scale. We always aim to keep the disruption to your daily life as low as possible.

What are the best materials for new roof installations in Bromley?

+

It often depends on the age of your property. Many Bromley homes look best with traditional clay or concrete tiles from brands like Redland. However, natural slate is a fantastic choice for longevity and a premium appearance. For flat roofs on extensions, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass are the most durable modern options available today.

Do I need to move out while you install a new roof?

+

Not at all. We carry out all the work from the outside. While there will be some noise during the day from hammers and tile cutters, your home remains fully habitable. We keep the site tidy and make sure the structure is weather-tight at the end of every shift.

Is a drone roof survey worth it for a house purchase in Kent?

+

A drone survey is very useful for homebuyers. Traditional surveyors often look at the roof through binoculars from the ground. Our drones get close to the chimneys and valleys, spotting cracked tiles or failing mortar that a ground-level check would miss. It gives you a much stronger position when negotiating a house price.

Will Kevington Roofing help with the building regulations for a re-roof?

+

Yes. When you replace more than 25% of a roof, you generally need to inform Local Authority Building Control. This often involves upgrading the insulation to meet current thermal standards. We understand these rules and can guide you through the process to make sure your new roof is fully compliant.

How much do Ramsden roofers charge for a new roof?

+

Costs vary based on the materials you choose and the complexity of the roof shape. A flat roof repair or replacement is cheaper than a full pitched roof re-tile. We provide free, no-obligation quotes where we break down the costs of labour and materials clearly, so you can make an informed choice without any pressure.

How can I tell if my roof needs a repair or a full replacement?

+

If you only have one or two slipped tiles or a small leak around a chimney, a repair is usually enough. However, if the tiles are crumbling, the battens are rotting, or you have multiple leaks across the whole surface, a full re-roof is often more cost-effective in the long run. We give you an honest appraisal after a physical or drone inspection.
