Building Robust Futures: New Roof Installations Tailored to Your Home

Investing in a new roof is one of the most significant improvements you can make to your property, securing its structural integrity, energy efficiency, and kerb appeal for decades to come. At Kevington Roofing, we manage the entire new roof installation and re-roofing process, from initial detailed consultation and structural assessment to the final touches. We start by safely removing your old roof covering, then meticulously install modern, breathable membranes – essential for proper ventilation – along with treated timber battens, before fitting your chosen high-quality tiles or slates.
For pitched roofing, we’re experts in both traditional and contemporary styles. We work with a wide range of materials, including robust concrete tiles from leading brands like Marley and Redland, alongside natural slate (Welsh or Spanish) and high-quality man-made composite slates for a refined finish. We pay close attention to every detail, ensuring perfect verges, ridge lines, and valleys for a completely weatherproof and visually stunning result.
When it comes to flat roofing, forget the old stereotypes of leaks and short lifespans. We install advanced, durable systems built for modern performance. Our options include:

  • GRP Fibreglass: A seamless, cold-applied system that cures into an incredibly tough, waterproof layer. It’s perfect for walkways, balconies, and complex roof shapes.
  • EPDM Rubber: A flexible, single-ply rubber membrane renowned for its exceptional longevity and resilience. It’s a superb choice for garages, extensions, and dormers.
  • High-Performance Felt: We use multi-layer torch-on felt systems, expertly installed to provide a robust, cost-effective, and long-lasting waterproof barrier.
    For truly unique projects, our specialist roofing services stand out. We offer traditional leadwork, including expert bossing and welding for heritage properties. We also install sleek zinc and copper roofs, providing a striking architectural statement. And for those keen on environmental benefits, we design and install Green or 'Living' Roofs, which boost natural insulation and support local biodiversity.

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

Swift Solutions for Roof Issues: Expert Repairs & Proactive Maintenance

A small leak or a few displaced tiles might seem minor, but they can quickly lead to extensive, costly damage inside your home, including rot and structural issues. Our roof repair service is designed to be fast, efficient, and exceptionally thorough. We don't just put a temporary patch on the problem; we identify the root cause, whether it’s failed flashing, a cracked tile, a blocked valley, or direct storm damage. We offer emergency call-outs across our service area to secure your property immediately and prevent further complications. Beyond repairs, we champion regular maintenance – from professional moss removal to annual inspections – keeping your roof in top condition and preventing future expensive problems.
We regularly tackle:

  • Leak Detection & Repair: Our experienced team precisely locates the source of water ingress and implements a durable, lasting fix.
  • Tile & Slate Replacement: We carefully source matching tiles or slates to seamlessly replace any that are cracked, slipped, or missing.
  • Chimney Repairs: From re-pointing crumbling mortar joints to full chimney stack rebuilds and renewing lead flashings, we handle all aspects of chimney care.
  • Ridge & Verge Repairs: We expertly re-bed loose ridge tiles with a strong mortar mix and can install modern dry-ridge or dry-verge systems for a low-maintenance, secure finish.
  • Flat Roof Repairs: We can effectively patch punctures in EPDM or GRP, or seal splits in felt roofing, extending the life of your flat roof.
  • Moss Removal & Roof Cleaning: We safely clear away moss, algae, and lichen which can trap moisture and accelerate the deterioration of your roof surface.

Seeing Clearly: Advanced Drone Roof Surveys for Peace of Mind

Get a complete, clear picture of your roof's condition without the expense and inconvenience of scaffolding. Our advanced drone roof survey service uses high-resolution cameras to capture detailed images and video of your entire roof structure. This includes those hard-to-reach areas like high-level chimney stacks, hidden valleys, and inaccessible flat roofs. This service is particularly valuable for pre-purchase homebuyer reports, insurance assessments, or simply pinpointing the cause of a nagging roof issue. You'll receive a comprehensive report, complete with annotated images, giving you a crystal-clear understanding of any defects or areas needing attention.
Benefits you’ll appreciate:

  • Safety: No ladders or scaffolding needed for the initial inspection, reducing risk.
  • Cost-Effective: Often quicker and more affordable than traditional manual survey methods.
  • Accuracy: High-definition imagery can reveal subtle issues like hairline cracks or failing mortar, often missed from the ground.
  • Documentation: Provides clear, undeniable evidence for insurance claims or property negotiations.

Protecting Your Property's Edges: Durable Fascias, Soffits & Guttering

Your roofline components – the fascias, soffits, and guttering – form a critical protective barrier for your property. They work together to keep rainwater away from your walls and allow your roof space to breathe correctly. At Kevington Roofing, we specialise in the complete replacement of old, deteriorating timber fascias, soffits, and bargeboards with high-quality, ultra-low-maintenance UPVC systems. Unlike 'capping' or 'cladding' over existing timber, our full replacement service involves carefully removing the old, rotten wood, checking the rafter ends for soundness, and then installing a brand-new, robust, and weatherproof system. This ensures a lasting solution that won't ever need painting. We also install, repair, and clean all types of guttering to ensure efficient rainwater management, protecting your foundations and landscaping.
Understanding the terms:

  • Fascia: The long board running along the lower edge of your roof, where the guttering is attached.
  • Soffit: The board visible from below, often ventilated to allow air circulation in your roof space.
  • Bargeboard: The protective board fitted to the gable end of a house.
  • Guttering: The channel that collects rainwater from your roof, directing it safely away.

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.
