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

Forget the old misconceptions about flat roofs; today's options are incredibly durable, long-lasting, and highly effective. Kevington Roofing is proficient in installing the three leading flat roof systems, each chosen for its unique benefits and suitability for various applications, from extensions and garages to balconies.

  • GRP Fibreglass: This seamless, cold-applied fibreglass system cures into an exceptionally tough, waterproof layer. It's perfect for areas needing a robust, walk-on surface and can be moulded to complex roof shapes, providing a genuinely bespoke finish.
  • EPDM Rubber: Known for its remarkable flexibility and impressive lifespan, EPDM is a single-ply rubber membrane that withstands extreme temperatures and UV radiation. It’s a fantastic, low-maintenance solution for a wide range of flat roof projects, ensuring peace of mind for years.
  • High-Performance Felt: We install advanced multi-layer torch-on felt systems. This robust method creates a powerful, cost-effective waterproof barrier, expertly applied for maximum longevity and resilience against the British weather.

Specialist Roofing & Architectural Features

For properties requiring exceptional craftsmanship or unique design elements, our specialist roofing services stand ready. Our skilled team has extensive experience in traditional leadwork, including intricate bossing and welding for heritage properties or elegant bay windows. We also work with modern, stylish materials like zinc and copper, crafting stunning architectural features that truly set your home apart. For the environmentally conscious, we design and install Green (or 'Living') Roofs, which not only look beautiful but also provide natural insulation and support local biodiversity. Our expertise covers all these diverse aspects of new roof installation.

Our Full New Roof Installation Process: From Concept to Completion

We understand that undertaking a new roof project can seem daunting. That’s why we make the entire process as smooth and transparent as possible. It begins with a thorough, no-obligation consultation where we discuss your needs, assess your property, and recommend the ideal roofing solution tailored to your style and budget. Our expert team then takes care of everything: safely removing the old roof covering, inspecting and preparing the roof structure, installing modern, breathable membranes (such as Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte) for ventilation and protection, fitting treated timber battens, and finally, precisely installing your chosen tiles or slates.

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."

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.
