Pitched Roof Re-Roofing: Enduring Beauty for Gillingham Properties

Many homes in Gillingham feature classic pitched roofs, and we're experts in revitalising them. Whether your property is a traditional Victorian terrace or a modern family home, we provide robust pitched re-roofing services. We work with a wide range of high-quality materials including durable concrete tiles from trusted manufacturers like Marley and Redland, as well as natural slate (like Welsh or Spanish slate) or man-made composite slates for a truly premium aesthetic. Our team pays meticulous attention to every detail, from the precise alignment of tiles or slates to the secure fitting of verges, ridge lines, and valleys, creating a flawless and completely weatherproof roof that lasts for many years.

Modern Flat Roof Re-Roofing Solutions for Gillingham Extensions & Garages

Flat roofs, common on extensions, garages, and dormers across Gillingham, have advanced significantly. If your old felt roof is failing, we offer contemporary, long-lasting flat roofing solutions. We are highly experienced in installing three leading systems:

  • GRP Fibreglass: A seamless, cold-applied system that cures into an incredibly tough, waterproof layer. It's excellent for areas needing a hard-wearing surface.
  • EPDM Rubber: This single-ply rubber membrane is renowned for its outstanding flexibility and impressive lifespan, providing a durable and maintenance-free solution.
  • High-Performance Felt: We use modern, multi-layer torch-on felt systems, expertly applied to create a robust and cost-effective waterproof barrier for maximum longevity.

Seamless Roofline Integration: Protecting Your Home from the Gutter Up

A new roof installation is the ideal time to upgrade your roofline – the fascias, soffits, and guttering – that work hand-in-hand with your roof to manage rainwater and protect your home. We specialise in full replacement of old, tired timber with high-quality, low-maintenance UPVC systems. Unlike just capping over old wood, we remove any rotting timber, inspect your rafter ends for soundness, and then install a brand-new, weatherproof system. This comprehensive approach means your new roof will be perfectly complemented by a durable roofline, ensuring efficient water drainage and a smart, refreshed look for your Gillingham property that won't ever need painting.

What Our Clients Say About Kevington Roofing and Building LTD

"Fantastic service from the team at Kevington Roofing and Building today. They were recommended by a friend and I was very impressed. I’ll be using them again."

Celia Bennett

"Reliable and prompt - the Kevington team was able to view the property and provide options and transparent, itemised quotes on the same day I called. 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."

Philip Day

"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.
