Built to Last: Expert New Roof Installations for Your Home

A new roof is one of the most significant investments you'll make in your property, defining its character and shielding it from the British weather. At Kevington Roofing, we offer comprehensive new roof and re-roofing solutions, custom-tailored to your property's unique style, your budget, and the performance you expect. Our process always starts with a detailed, no-obligation consultation and a thorough structural assessment. We take care of everything: from the careful, safe removal of your old roof covering to the precise installation of modern, breathable membranes (like Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte), securely treated timber battens, and your chosen high-quality tiles or slates. Every new roof we build provides decades of robust protection, improves your home's thermal efficiency, and significantly boosts its kerb appeal.

  • Pitched Roofing (Tiles & Slates): The classic choice for countless British homes, and we're specialists in installing both traditional and contemporary pitched roofs. We work with a wide array of materials, including highly durable concrete tiles from trusted brands like Marley and Redland, alongside natural slate (from Welsh to Spanish) or modern man-made composite slates for that premium, sleek finish. We pay meticulous attention to every detail, from verges and ridge lines to valleys, guaranteeing a flawless, weatherproof result.
  • Flat Roofing (GRP, EPDM, Felt): Forget the leaky flat roofs of the past. Today's flat roofing systems are a world apart, and we install three of the industry's leading solutions.
  • GRP Fibreglass: A seamless, cold-applied system that dries to form an incredibly tough, completely waterproof layer. It's perfect for walkways, balconies, and roofs with intricate shapes, often referred to simply as a 'fibreglass roof'.
  • EPDM Rubber: This single-ply rubber membrane is celebrated for its incredible flexibility and exceptionally long lifespan. It offers a fantastic, durable option for garages, home extensions, and dormer roofs.
  • High-Performance Felt: We use modern, multi-layer torch-on felt systems, expertly installed to create a robust, cost-effective waterproof barrier that stands the test of time.
  • Specialist Roofing (Lead, Zinc, Green Roofs): For projects that demand exceptional craftsmanship and unique aesthetics, we offer specialist services. Our traditional leadwork includes expert bossing and welding, ideal for heritage properties. We also install modern zinc and copper roofs, which provide a stunning architectural statement. And for those keen to enhance their home's environmental footprint, we design and install Green or 'Living' Roofs, offering natural insulation and supporting local biodiversity.

Why Choose Kevington Roofing for Your New Build Project in Ramsden & Bromley?

Prompt & Reliable: Roof Repairs and Essential Maintenance

A small leak or a few slipped tiles can quickly spiral into a much bigger problem, leading to costly internal water damage and timber rot. Our roof repair service is designed to be fast, efficient, and thoroughly effective. We don't just patch the visible problem; we identify the root cause – whether it's failed flashing, cracked tiles, blocked valleys, or storm damage. We provide emergency call-outs across our entire service area to secure your property immediately and stop further damage. Beyond repairs, regular maintenance is crucial. We offer services from professional moss removal to annual roof inspections to make sure your roof stays in peak condition, protecting your home season after season.

Clarity From Above: Detailed Drone Roof Inspections & Surveys

Get a complete, clear understanding of your roof's condition without the significant expense and disruption of scaffolding. Our drone roof survey service uses high-resolution cameras to capture detailed images and videos of your entire roof structure, including those tricky-to-reach areas like high chimney stacks, deep valleys, and high-level flat roofs. This service is invaluable for pre-purchase homebuyer reports, accurate insurance assessments, or simply diagnosing a persistent issue you can't quite pinpoint. You'll receive a full, easy-to-understand report complete with annotated images, giving you a precise picture of any defects or areas that need attention. It's safer, quicker, and often more accurate than traditional methods.

Protecting Your Home's Edges: Fascias, Soffits & Guttering

Your roofline – that critical boundary where your roof meets your walls – is essential for keeping rainwater out and allowing your roof space to breathe correctly. We specialise in the complete replacement of old, deteriorating timber fascias, soffits, and bargeboards with high-quality, virtually maintenance-free UPVC systems. Crucially, we don't just 'cap' or 'clad' over old timber; our full replacement service involves removing the rotten wood entirely, checking the rafter ends for soundness, and then installing a brand-new, robustly weatherproof system. This ensures a lasting solution that won't ever need painting and will look pristine for years. We also expertly install, repair, and clean all types of guttering, making sure rainwater is managed efficiently and safely away from your home's foundations.

  • Understanding Your Roofline:
  • Fascia: The long board running along the lower edge of your roof, where your guttering attaches.
  • Soffit: The board visible from directly below, often with ventilation slots to allow air circulation.
  • Bargeboard: The decorative board used on the sloping gable end of a house.
  • Guttering: The channel that collects rainwater from your roof, directing it to the downpipes.

New Build Roofing FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Expert answers to common questions about our new build roof installations, materials, and building regulations in Ramsden, Bromley, and Croydon & South London.

Are you experienced in providing roofing for new build developments in Ramsden?

+

Yes, Kevington Roofing and Building LTD works closely with local developers and self-builders in Ramsden and across Bromley. We understand the specific requirements of new build projects, including sticking to tight schedules and working alongside other trades. Whether it is a single bespoke home or a small development, we provide high-quality pitched or flat roofing that meets all current building regulations.

What are the best roofing materials for a new house in Kent?

+

The choice usually depends on the local style and your budget. Many new builds in Kent use high-quality concrete tiles because they are durable and cost-effective. However, if you are building in a more traditional area or a conservation zone near Bromley, you might opt for natural slate or clay tiles. For modern designs with flat roofs, we often recommend GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber because they offer a clean, contemporary finish and a very long lifespan.

Can you handle both the pitched and flat roof sections of a new build?

+

We certainly can. Many modern homes feature a mix of pitched roofing for the main house and flat roofs for extensions or garages. Our team is skilled in both areas. We can install traditional tiles or slates on the main roof and use seamless GRP or EPDM for the flat sections, giving you a single point of contact for the entire project.

Does Kevington Roofing and Building LTD provide warranties for new roof installations?

+

We take great pride in our workmanship. All our new roof installations come with a guarantee, giving you peace of mind that your new investment is protected. Because we use top-tier materials from manufacturers like Marley and Redland, you also benefit from their specific product warranties.

How do you manage site safety on a new build project?

+

Safety is our priority. We follow strict health and safety guidelines on every site. Our team is fully insured and trained to work safely at height. We coordinate with site managers to make sure our work is carried out efficiently without putting anyone at risk, keeping the project moving forward smoothly.

Do you offer roof installation for residential extensions in Bromley?

+

Yes, we do a lot of work for homeowners who are extending their properties. Matching the new roof to the existing house is vital for a seamless look. We source matching tiles or slates and ensure the junction between the old and new structures is completely watertight. Whether it is a kitchen extension with a flat roof or a two-storey addition with a pitched roof, we have it covered.
