Designing Your Perfect Pitched Roof: Tiles and Slates

The classic pitched roof remains a favourite for British homes, offering timeless appeal and excellent drainage. At Kevington Roofing, we are true specialists in installing both traditional and contemporary pitched roofing systems. We work with a wide range of high-quality materials to suit your aesthetic and performance requirements. This includes durable concrete tiles from leading brands like Marley and Redland, renowned for their resilience and varied colour options. For a more traditional or premium finish, we expertly install natural slate, sourced from Welsh quarries or high-quality Spanish imports, as well as modern, man-made composite slates that offer an eco-friendly alternative with exceptional longevity. Our meticulous attention to detail on verges, ridge lines, and valleys guarantees a perfect, weatherproof seal every time, making your new roof a standout feature.

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

Forget old perceptions of leaky flat roofs. Today's flat roofing technology provides robust, long-lasting, and highly efficient solutions, ideal for extensions, garages, balconies, and commercial properties in the Royal Tunbridge Wells area. Our team offers three leading, modern flat roof systems:

  • GRP Fibreglass: A seamless, cold-applied system that cures to form an incredibly tough, waterproof layer. It's perfect for complex shapes, areas with foot traffic, or when you need a completely joint-free finish. Known simply as a 'fibreglass roof', it offers exceptional durability.
  • EPDM Rubber: This single-ply rubber membrane is celebrated for its remarkable flexibility, UV resistance, and impressive lifespan. EPDM is a fantastic choice for a quick, clean, and highly durable installation that can withstand extreme weather without cracking or perishing.
  • High-Performance Felt: For a cost-effective yet robust solution, our multi-layer torch-on felt systems provide a formidable waterproof barrier. Expertly installed by our team, these modern felt roofs offer excellent longevity and protection, far superior to older felt applications.

Beyond the Standard: Specialist Roofing & Heritage Craftsmanship

Some properties demand more than just standard roofing, requiring specialist knowledge and exceptional craftsmanship. Kevington Roofing and Building excels in these bespoke projects. Our leadwork expertise includes traditional bossing and intricate welding, essential for the sensitive restoration of heritage properties or creating durable, ornate flashings around chimneys and dormers. For a truly unique architectural statement, we also design and install modern zinc and copper roofs, which are not only stunning visually but also incredibly durable and low-maintenance. Furthermore, for the environmentally conscious homeowner in Royal Tunbridge Wells, we offer the design and installation of Green or 'Living' Roofs, which provide natural insulation, manage rainwater, and support local biodiversity.

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.
