Investing in Your Home: Expert New Roof & Re-roofing Solutions

A new roof is one of the most significant investments you can make in your property, securing its future and enhancing its value. At Kevington Roofing, we provide comprehensive new roof and re-roofing solutions tailored precisely to your property's style, your budget, and the performance you need. Our process starts with a detailed consultation and a thorough look at your roof's structure. We manage the entire project, from safely removing old roof coverings to installing modern, breathable membranes – like Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte – and high-quality, treated timber battens. Finally, we install your chosen durable tiles or slates. Every new roof we build provides decades of protection, boosts your home's thermal efficiency, and significantly improves its kerb appeal.

  • Pitched Roofing (Tiles & Slates): The classic, enduring choice for many British homes. We’re experts in installing both traditional and contemporary pitched roofs. We work with a wide range of top materials, including robust concrete tiles from leading brands such as Marley and Redland, and beautiful natural slate (Welsh or Spanish) or man-made composite slates for a premium finish. We pay close attention to every detail, from verges and ridge lines to valleys, guaranteeing a flawless, weatherproof result.
  • Flat Roofing (GRP, EPDM, Felt): Modern flat roofing systems offer vastly improved performance compared to older methods. We expertly install three leading options:
  • GRP Fibreglass: This seamless, cold-applied system cures into an incredibly tough, waterproof layer. It's an excellent choice for walkways, balconies, and roofs with complex shapes. Many homeowners also know it as a 'fibreglass roof'.
  • EPDM Rubber: A single-ply rubber membrane renowned for its amazing flexibility and very long lifespan. It offers a fantastic, durable solution for garages, extensions, and dormers.
  • High-Performance Felt: We use modern, multi-layer torch-on felt systems that create a robust and cost-effective waterproof barrier, professionally installed for maximum longevity.
  • Specialist Roofing (Lead, Zinc, Green Roofs): For projects that demand exceptional craft and bespoke solutions, we offer specialist services. Our leadwork includes traditional bossing and welding, perfect for heritage properties. We also install contemporary zinc and copper roofs, providing a stunning architectural finish. For those looking for an eco-friendly option, we design and install Green or 'Living' Roofs, which offer natural insulation and support local biodiversity.

Prompt & Professional Roof Repairs to Protect Your Home

Even a small roof leak or a few slipped tiles can quickly spiral into a major problem, leading to costly internal water damage and rot. Our roof repair service is quick, effective, and thorough. We never just patch the obvious; our team identifies the root cause of the issue – whether it's failed flashing, cracked tiles, blocked valleys, or storm damage. We offer emergency call-outs across our service area to quickly secure your property and stop further damage. Beyond urgent fixes, regular maintenance is crucial. We offer services from safe moss removal to annual inspections, keeping your roof in excellent condition year-round.

  • Common Repairs We Tackle:
  • Leak Detection & Repair: Drawing on our experience, we precisely locate the point where water is getting in and provide a lasting fix.
  • Tile & Slate Replacement: We can often source matching tiles or slates to seamlessly replace any that are cracked, slipped, or missing.
  • Chimney Repairs: We handle everything from re-pointing crumbling mortar joints to rebuilding entire chimney stacks and renewing lead flashings.
  • Ridge & Verge Repairs: We carefully re-bed loose ridge tiles using a durable mortar mix. We can also install modern dry-ridge or dry-verge systems for a low-maintenance, long-term solution.
  • Flat Roof Repairs: We competently patch punctures in EPDM or GRP, or seal splits in felt roofing to extend its lifespan.
  • Moss Removal & Roof Cleaning: We safely remove moss, algae, and lichen. These can trap moisture and damage your roof surface over time, so removing them helps preserve your roof.

Clear Insights with Our Drone Roof Surveys

Get a crystal-clear, comprehensive understanding of your roof's condition without the expense or disruption of scaffolding. Our drone roof survey service uses high-resolution cameras to capture detailed images and videos of your entire roof structure. This includes hard-to-reach areas like chimney stacks, valleys, and high-level flat roofs. This service is ideal for pre-purchase homebuyer reports, insurance assessments, or simply diagnosing a persistent roofing issue. You’ll receive a full report with annotated images, giving you a complete picture of any defects or areas needing attention.

  • Benefits of Drone Surveys for You:
  • Safety: No need for ladders or scaffolding during the initial inspection, making it safer for everyone.
  • Cost-Effective: Often faster and cheaper than traditional survey methods, saving you money.
  • Accuracy: High-definition imagery reveals even minor cracked tiles, failed mortar, and other issues that are impossible to spot from the ground.
  • Documentation: Provides clear, undeniable evidence for insurance claims or property negotiations, giving you peace of mind.

Complete Roofline Solutions: Fascias, Soffits & Guttering

Your roofline – that’s the fascias, soffits, and guttering – forms a crucial protective barrier between your roof and your walls. It’s absolutely vital for keeping water out and allowing your roof space to breathe correctly. We specialise in the full replacement of old, rotting timber fascias, soffits, and bargeboards with high-quality, virtually maintenance-free UPVC systems. Unlike just 'capping' or 'cladding' over old timber, our full replacement service involves carefully removing any rotten wood, checking the rafter ends for soundness, and installing a completely new, weatherproof system. This will last for years without ever needing to be painted. We also expertly install, repair, and clean all types of guttering, making sure rainwater is managed effectively and safely away from your home.

  • Understanding Your Roofline:
  • Fascia: The long board running along the lower edge of the roof, where your guttering attaches.
  • Soffit: The board you typically see from below, often containing ventilation slots to help your roof breathe.
  • Bargeboard: The decorative board used on the gable end of a house.
  • Guttering: The channel that collects rainwater from your roof, directing it away.

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.
