Why a New Roof is a Smart Investment for Your Home

Over time, even the most robust roofs can show their age. Worn-out tiles, failing felt, and dated insulation can lead to persistent leaks, rising energy bills, and a noticeable decline in your property’s appearance. Opting for a new roof with Kevington Roofing addresses these issues head-on. It's an opportunity to upgrade to modern, high-performance materials that offer superior waterproofing and insulation. A new roof boosts your home's value, protects your internal structure from water damage, and gives you complete peace of mind for decades to come. It’s about securing your most important asset against the unpredictable British weather.

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.

Expert Pitched Roofing: Tiles, Slates & Traditional Craftsmanship

For the classic British aesthetic, pitched roofing remains the popular choice, offering excellent drainage and timeless appeal. Our skilled roofers are specialists in installing a wide range of pitched roof coverings. We work with durable concrete tiles from trusted manufacturers like Marley and Redland, known for their longevity and variety of styles. If you prefer a more premium finish, we expertly install natural slate, including robust Welsh and elegant Spanish options, alongside high-quality man-made composite slates. We pay meticulous attention to every detail – from the precision of our breathable membrane and treated timber battens to the flawless finish of verges, ridge lines, and valleys. The result is a watertight roof built to last.

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

The days of problematic flat roofs are long gone, thanks to advances in materials and installation techniques. At Kevington Roofing, we offer three leading flat roofing systems, each tailored to different needs:

  • GRP Fibreglass: This is a seamless, cold-applied system that cures into an incredibly tough, completely waterproof layer. It's often called a 'fibreglass roof' and is perfect for complex roof shapes, balconies, and areas that might see foot traffic.
  • EPDM Rubber: A single-ply rubber membrane renowned for its exceptional flexibility and an impressively long lifespan. EPDM is a fantastic, durable choice for garages, extensions, and dormer roofs, handling temperature fluctuations with ease.
  • High-Performance Felt: We use modern, multi-layer torch-on felt systems. When expertly installed, these provide a robust, cost-effective, and highly reliable waterproof barrier for various flat roof applications.

Specialist Roofing & Bespoke Leadwork for Reigate Properties

Some properties demand exceptional craftsmanship and specialist materials. Our team excels in projects that require a higher level of skill and precision. We are experts in traditional leadwork, employing time-honoured techniques like bossing and welding for sensitive heritage properties or intricate roof features. Beyond lead, we also install modern zinc and copper roofs, which offer a distinct architectural aesthetic and unparalleled durability. For those looking for an environmentally conscious solution, we design and install Green or 'Living' Roofs, which provide natural insulation and encourage local biodiversity.

Our Transparent New Roof Installation Process

We believe in clarity and communication throughout your new roof project. Here's how Kevington Roofing ensures a smooth, stress-free experience:

  1. Initial Consultation & Survey: We visit your property in Reigate to discuss your needs, assess your existing roof or new build plans, and conduct a detailed structural survey.
  2. Detailed Quotation: You'll receive a clear, itemised, no-obligation quote outlining all labour and material costs. No hidden extras.
  3. Material Selection: We guide you through the best material choices, considering your property's style, your budget, and performance requirements.
  4. Safe Removal & Preparation: We safely remove your old roof covering, inspect the timberwork, and prepare the structure for the new installation, including modern breathable membranes.
  5. Expert Installation: Our skilled, directly employed team carries out the installation to the highest standards, focusing on precision and durability.
  6. Final Inspection & Site Tidy: Once complete, we conduct a thorough final inspection and ensure your property is left clean and tidy, removing all debris.

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.
