Why a New Roof Is a Smart Investment for Your Home

A new roof isn't just about replacing old materials; it’s about securing your property's future. Over two decades, we've seen countless roofs past their prime – leading to leaks, damp, and rising energy bills. Investing in a full new roof installation offers immediate and long-term benefits. You gain superior protection from the elements, a significant boost in thermal efficiency (potentially saving you money on heating), enhanced kerb appeal, and increased property value. It offers true peace of mind, knowing your home is robustly protected for decades to come.

Expert New Roof Installations in Ramsden & Croydon

With 25 years of hands-on industry experience, Kevington Roofing and Building LTD (Reg: 12676001) provides fully insured, high-quality pitched, flat, and slate roof replacements. We directly employ our skilled local team—no unknown subcontractors—ensuring your new roof meets all UK building regulations with transparent, no-obligation quotes.

Our Seamless New Roof Installation Process: From Consultation to Completion

We believe that a professional new roof installation starts long before the first tile is laid. Our process is designed to be transparent, thorough, and tailored to your specific needs. It begins with a detailed consultation and a structural assessment of your existing roof and property. We take the time to discuss your options, from material choices and aesthetics to your budget and desired performance. Our team then handles everything: safely removing the old roofing, installing modern breathable membranes (like Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte), securing treated timber battens, and finally, expertly fitting your chosen tiles or slates. We manage every aspect of the project, ensuring a smooth, efficient installation with minimal disruption to your daily life.

Pitched Roofing Specialists: Classic Style, Modern Performance

Pitched roofs are a hallmark of British architecture, and our team are masters of their craft when it comes to installation. We work with a comprehensive range of high-quality materials to suit any style and budget. Whether you prefer the robust durability of concrete tiles from leading brands like Marley and Redland, or the timeless elegance of natural slate (including premium Welsh and Spanish varieties) or man-made composite slates, we ensure a flawless finish. Our meticulous attention to detail covers every element, including precise verges, strong ridge lines, and expertly designed valleys, guaranteeing a fully weatherproof and visually stunning roof that will last for generations.

Durable Flat Roofing Solutions: GRP, EPDM & High-Performance Felt

Modern flat roofing systems are a far cry from the unreliable designs of the past. Kevington Roofing and Building LTD offers cutting-edge flat roof installations, providing robust and long-lasting solutions for extensions, garages, dormers, and balconies.

  • GRP Fibreglass: This seamless, cold-applied system cures to form an incredibly tough, waterproof layer. It's often referred to as a 'fibreglass roof' and is ideal for complex shapes or areas requiring a walkable surface.
  • EPDM Rubber: Known for its exceptional flexibility and impressive lifespan, this single-ply rubber membrane is a fantastic, durable choice for most flat roof applications.
  • High-Performance Felt: For a cost-effective yet robust solution, we expertly install modern, multi-layer torch-on felt systems, creating a reliable waterproof barrier designed for maximum longevity.

Expert Craftsmanship: Our Commitment to Quality and Reliability

We source only industry-leading products from trusted suppliers, ensuring every component of your new roof is built to perform.

Expert Roofing FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About New Roofs

Got questions about a roof replacement? With over 25 years of hands-on experience, the expert team at Kevington Roofing and Building LTD provides clear, honest answers about new pitched and flat roof installations across Ramsden, Bromley, and Croydon & South London.

How long does a full roof replacement take?

+

For a typical 3-bedroom semi-detached house, a full re-roof usually takes between 5 to 8 days. This can vary depending on the weather, the complexity of your roof, and the materials chosen. We always aim to make the property watertight as quickly as possible.

What is the difference between re-roofing and a new roof installation?

+

These terms are often used interchangeably. A 're-roof' typically involves stripping the existing tiles or slates, replacing the membrane and battens, and then fitting new tiles. A 'new roof installation' usually refers to roofing a new build or extension, but in practice, both jobs involve installing a complete new roof system on the existing timber structure.

Do you repair chimney stacks during a re-roof?

+

Absolutely. It's the perfect time to address any chimney issues. We can handle all aspects, from re-pointing crumbling mortar to a full chimney rebuild and fitting new lead flashings to ensure a watertight seal with your new roof.

What is the most popular type of roof tile in the Orpington area?

+

Concrete tiles are very popular across Orpington, Bromley and the surrounding areas due to their durability and value. However, we also see a lot of demand for natural slate, especially on period properties, to maintain the traditional character. We can show you samples of both to help you decide what's best for your home.

How much mess and disruption should I expect?

+

We understand that having work done on your home can be disruptive. Our team works hard to keep your property as clean and tidy as possible. We use scaffolding with protective sheeting and carry out a full clean-up of the site every day. We'll talk you through the whole process so you know exactly what to expect.

What happens to all the old roofing materials?

+

We are a responsible company and handle all waste correctly. All old materials, including tiles, felt, and timber battens, are removed from your property and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner, often through licensed waste transfer stations for recycling.

Why Choose a Drone Survey?

+
  • Safety First: It eliminates the risks associated with using ladders for an initial inspection.
  • Cost-Effective: It's significantly faster and cheaper than erecting scaffolding just to see what's going on.
  • Pinpoint Accuracy: Our HD cameras can spot cracked tiles, crumbling mortar, and other issues that are completely invisible from the ground.
  • Clear Documentation: The report provides indisputable photographic evidence for insurance claims or when negotiating a property purchase.

Why Choose Kevington Roofing and Building LTD?

+

Choosing the right roofer comes down to trust. Here’s why homeowners and businesses across Orpington, Kent, and South East London have put their trust in us for over two decades.

How much does a new roof installation cost in Swanley?

+

The cost depends on the size of your property and the materials you choose. A small terraced house using concrete tiles will cost less than a large detached home requiring natural slate. We provide free, detailed quotes that break down every cost, so you can make an informed decision based on your budget.

How long will it take to replace my roof?

+

Most domestic re-roofing projects take between one and two weeks, depending on the weather and the complexity of the roof shape. We work efficiently to make sure your home is "dried in" as quickly as possible to prevent any internal disruption.

Do I need planning permission for a new roof in Kent?

+

Generally, you do not need planning permission for a simple re-roofing project, provided the height of the roof does not change significantly. However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building in places like Eynsford or Shoreham, special rules may apply. We can advise you on these requirements during our initial site visit.

Should I choose a pitched roof or a flat roof for my extension?

+

This usually comes down to your budget and the style of your house. Pitched roofs are incredibly durable and offer a classic look, while modern flat roofs using GRP (fibreglass) or EPDM (rubber) are excellent, cost-effective options for extensions and garages. We can talk you through the pros and cons of each during your consultation.
