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.

Durable Pitched Roofing Solutions: Tiles & Slates

Pitched roofs remain the most popular choice for homes throughout the UK, known for their classic aesthetics and reliable performance. As pitched roofing specialists, we excel in installing both traditional and contemporary designs. We work with a wide range of top-quality materials, including incredibly durable concrete tiles from leading brands like Marley and Redland, and premium natural slate – be it robust Welsh slate or elegant Spanish slate. For a uniform, long-lasting finish, we also offer high-performance man-made composite slates. Our skilled team pays meticulous attention to every detail, from the precise alignment of tiles to the watertight sealing of verges, ridge lines, and valleys, ensuring a flawless and efficient new roof.

Modern Flat Roofing Systems: GRP, EPDM & High-Performance Felt

The days of leaky, unreliable flat roofs are long gone. Today's flat roofing systems offer exceptional durability and versatility, making them ideal for extensions, garages, dormers, and balconies. At Kevington Roofing, we expertly install three leading flat roof solutions:

  • GRP Fibreglass: This seamless, cold-applied system cures to form an incredibly tough, waterproof layer. Often called a 'fibreglass roof', it's perfect for areas needing a robust, joint-free finish, including walkways.
  • EPDM Rubber: An incredibly flexible and durable single-ply rubber membrane, EPDM boasts an impressive lifespan and resistance to extreme weather. It’s a fantastic, long-term solution that adapts well to various roof shapes.
  • High-Performance Felt: We use advanced, multi-layer torch-on felt systems, installed by our experienced team, to provide a cost-effective yet exceptionally robust and reliable waterproof barrier.

Beyond the Standard: Specialist Roofing & Architectural Leadwork

For projects that demand exceptional craftsmanship and unique solutions, Kevington Roofing and Building offers specialist roofing services. Our expertise includes traditional leadwork, with our skilled team performing intricate bossing and welding for heritage properties and detailed flashings. We also undertake installations of modern zinc and copper roofs, which provide a stunning, contemporary architectural finish and exceptional longevity. For those seeking an eco-friendly solution, we design and install Green or 'Living' Roofs, which offer natural insulation benefits and actively contribute to local biodiversity.

Our Seamless New Roof Installation Process

We believe in a clear, customer-focused approach for every new roof project. Our process typically involves:

  1. Initial Consultation & Survey: We start with a thorough visit to your property in Orpington, Bromley, or anywhere within our 20-mile radius. We assess your existing roof, discuss your needs, and provide expert advice on the best materials and solutions tailored to your home and budget.
  2. Detailed Quotation: You'll receive a clear, transparent, and no-obligation quote detailing all labour and material costs.
  3. Safe Removal: Our team carefully and safely removes your old roof covering, ensuring all waste is managed responsibly.
  4. Structural Assessment & Preparation: We inspect the roof timbers and structure, carrying out any necessary repairs or strengthening. We then install modern breathable membranes and treated timber battens, creating a robust foundation.
  5. Installation: Your chosen tiles, slates, or flat roofing system are expertly installed by our directly employed, skilled team. We pay close attention to all critical points, like chimneys, valleys, and verges, to guarantee a watertight finish.
  6. Site Clearance & Final Inspection: Once complete, we thoroughly clean the site, leaving your property tidy. We then conduct a final inspection to ensure everything meets our stringent quality standards and your full satisfaction.

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.
