Why Consider a Full New Roof for Your Southborough Property?

Even the sturdiest roofs won't last forever. If your roof is consistently leaking, showing widespread damage, or simply reaching the end of its lifespan (typically 50-70 years for traditional materials), a full new roof installation or re-roofing project becomes a wise decision. Investing in a complete replacement not only stops current issues like damp and drafts but also significantly enhances your home’s value, improves its energy efficiency, and boosts its kerb appeal. It’s a proactive step that saves you money on future repairs and provides long-term security for your property.

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.

Our Comprehensive New Roof Installation Process

We make getting a new roof a straightforward and stress-free experience. Our process always starts with a thorough, no-obligation consultation at your Southborough property. We'll assess your existing roof, discuss your specific needs, and help you choose the ideal roofing system for your home’s style and your budget. Our team manages every aspect of the project, from carefully stripping away the old roof covering to checking and repairing the underlying timber structure. We then install modern breathable membranes (like Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte), treated timber battens, and finally, your chosen roof covering. We ensure a seamless, watertight, and aesthetically pleasing finish every time.

Pitched Roofing Specialists: Tiles & Slates for Lasting Protection

Pitched roofs remain the most popular choice for homes across Southborough and the UK, and for good reason – they’re durable, efficient, and classic. We are expert installers of both traditional and contemporary pitched roofing systems. Whether you prefer the robust reliability of concrete tiles from leading brands like Marley and Redland, or the timeless elegance of natural slate (Welsh or Spanish) and high-quality man-made composite slates, we’ve got you covered. Our meticulous attention to detail on verges, ridge lines, and valleys ensures a perfectly weatherproof and visually appealing roof that will stand the test of time.

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

The days of leaky, unreliable flat roofs are long gone. At Kevington Roofing, we specialise in installing modern, high-performance flat roofing systems that offer incredible longevity and watertight integrity. Our options include:

  • GRP Fibreglass: A fantastic, cold-applied system that cures into a tough, seamless, and completely waterproof layer. It's perfect for garages, extensions, balconies, or any area needing a durable 'fibreglass roof'.
  • EPDM Rubber: Known for its incredible flexibility and resilience, this single-ply rubber membrane is an excellent, long-lasting choice for all types of flat roofs.
  • High-Performance Felt: We use advanced, multi-layer torch-on felt systems, expertly installed to create a robust and cost-effective waterproof barrier that provides years of reliable protection.

Beyond the Roof Covering: Comprehensive Roofline & Chimney Work

When we install a new roof, we don't just focus on the tiles or flat roof system. We take a holistic approach, ensuring all elements work in harmony for optimal protection and performance. This includes inspecting and, if needed, upgrading your roofline components – fascias, soffits, and guttering – with durable, low-maintenance UPVC. We also handle any necessary chimney work, from re-pointing crumbling mortar to rebuilding chimney stacks and renewing lead flashings, making sure these crucial elements are structurally sound and perfectly integrated with your new roof.

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.
