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.

Pitched Roofing Specialists: Durable Tiles & Elegant Slates

Pitched roofs are a classic choice for many homes in Northfleet, offering timeless appeal and robust protection. Our team are true specialists in installing both traditional and contemporary pitched roofing systems. We work with an extensive range of high-quality materials, including durable concrete tiles from trusted brands like Marley and Redland, known for their longevity and variety of colours. For a more traditional or premium finish, we offer natural slate options, such as durable Spanish or beautiful Welsh slate, as well as high-performance man-made composite slates. We pay meticulous attention to crucial details like ridge lines, verges, and valleys, ensuring a watertight and visually appealing finish that enhances your home’s kerb appeal.

Modern Flat Roofing Solutions for Northfleet Properties

Gone are the days of unreliable flat roofs. Today, modern flat roofing offers incredibly durable and versatile solutions, perfect for extensions, garages, and dormers across Northfleet. We install three leading flat roof systems, each chosen for its proven performance and longevity:

  • GRP Fibreglass: This cold-applied system cures into a seamless, incredibly tough, and fully waterproof layer. It's often called a 'fibreglass roof' and is ideal for areas requiring exceptional durability, including balconies and walkways.
  • EPDM Rubber: A single-ply synthetic rubber membrane celebrated for its flexibility and impressive lifespan, often exceeding 50 years. It’s a fantastic, low-maintenance solution that adapts well to movement and temperature changes.
  • High-Performance Felt: We utilise advanced multi-layer torch-on felt systems, expertly installed to create a robust and cost-effective waterproof barrier. These modern felt roofs offer excellent protection and an extended service life compared to older felt installations.

Expert Leadwork and Specialist Roofing Craftsmanship

For Northfleet properties requiring a touch of specialist craftsmanship, our team offers bespoke roofing services. We excel in traditional leadwork, employing time-honoured techniques like lead bossing and welding for chimney flashings, valleys, and dormer windows, crucial for heritage and period properties. Beyond lead, we also work with modern zinc and copper roofing, which provide striking architectural finishes and exceptional longevity. For the environmentally conscious, we also design and install Green or 'Living' Roofs, which not only look beautiful but also offer natural insulation benefits and support local biodiversity. Our attention to quality and detail extends to every aspect of our work.

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.
