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.

Superior Pitched Roofing: Tiles and Slates Installed with Precision

Pitched roofs are a timeless choice for British homes, offering excellent drainage and traditional aesthetics. Our skilled team specialises in all aspects of pitched roof installation and re-roofing. We work with a wide selection of top-quality materials to suit your style and budget, including:

  • Durable Concrete Tiles: Sourced from leading manufacturers like Marley and Redland, these provide a robust, cost-effective, and long-lasting solution with various colours and profiles available.
  • Natural and Man-Made Slates: For a classic, elegant finish, we expertly install beautiful natural slates (such as Welsh or Spanish) or high-performance man-made composite slates.
    Our attention to detail extends to every part of your new pitched roof, ensuring perfectly aligned verges, watertight ridge lines, and expertly sealed valleys for a flawless, weatherproof finish that will stand the test of time.

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

Forget the outdated reputation of flat roofs. Today's flat roofing technology offers exceptional durability and performance, making it an ideal choice for extensions, garages, and dormers. We offer three leading flat roof systems, each expertly installed:

  • GRP Fibreglass Roofing: This seamless, cold-applied system cures into an incredibly tough, waterproof layer. It's often called a 'fibreglass roof' and is perfect for complex roof shapes or areas that might see foot traffic, like balconies.
  • EPDM Rubber Roofing: A highly flexible, single-ply rubber membrane renowned for its impressive lifespan and resilience. EPDM is a fantastic, long-term solution that adapts well to temperature changes without cracking.
  • High-Performance Felt: We use advanced, multi-layer torch-on felt systems. This robust and cost-effective waterproof barrier is installed with precision to guarantee maximum longevity and reliability.

Our Thorough New Roof Installation Process

At Kevington Roofing, we believe in a transparent and comprehensive approach to new roof installations. Our process ensures a smooth project from start to finish, keeping you informed every step of the way:

  1. Initial Consultation & Assessment: We begin with a detailed discussion of your needs, property style, and budget. Our team conducts a thorough structural assessment to ensure the perfect fit for your new roof.
  2. Safe Removal: We carefully and safely remove your old roof covering, managing all waste responsibly.
  3. Structural Integrity Check: We inspect the underlying roof structure, making any necessary repairs to timbers or joists to ensure a solid foundation.
  4. Modern Underlayment: We install high-performance, breathable membranes, such as Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte, which provide excellent ventilation and an additional layer of weather protection.
  5. Treated Timber Battens: Quality, treated timber battens are securely fixed, ready for your chosen roof covering.
  6. Expert Covering Installation: Whether it's precise tile or slate laying, seamless GRP, flexible EPDM, or multi-layer felt, our skilled roofers ensure a perfect installation.
  7. Finishing Touches: We meticulously complete all details, including verges, ridges, valleys, and flashings, for a watertight and aesthetically pleasing finish.

Specialist Roofing & Architectural Leadwork for Unique Projects

For properties requiring unique craftsmanship or a bespoke finish, Kevington Roofing also provides specialist roofing services. Our expertise includes traditional leadwork, encompassing meticulous bossing and welding techniques, which are crucial for heritage properties and detailed architectural features. We also offer installation of modern zinc and copper roofs, which provide a stunning, contemporary aesthetic and exceptional durability.

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.
