Expert New Roof Installations: Built to Last for Generations

A new roof is a significant investment, but it's one that delivers lasting value, comfort, and protection for your property. At Kevington Roofing and Building LTD, we offer comprehensive new roof and re-roofing solutions tailored specifically to your home's character, your budget, and the performance you need. Our process always starts with a thorough consultation and a detailed structural assessment. We take care of everything: from the safe, careful removal of your old roof covering to the meticulous installation of modern, breathable membranes – often chosen from trusted brands like Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte – sturdy, treated timber battens, and then your choice of high-quality tiles or slates. Every new roof we install is designed to provide decades of robust protection, improve your home's thermal efficiency, and significantly boost its kerb appeal.

Expert Re-Roofing & New Roof Installations in Ramsden & Bromley

Flat Roofing (GRP, EPDM, Felt): Modern flat roofing systems offer incredible durability and performance, a world apart from older, leaky designs. We expertly install three leading types:

  • GRP Fibreglass: A cutting-edge, cold-applied system that dries to form a tough, seamless, and completely waterproof layer. It's perfect for walkways, balconies, and roofs with complex shapes. Many know this simply as a 'fibreglass roof'.
  • EPDM Rubber: This single-ply rubber membrane is celebrated for its incredible flexibility, UV resistance, and very long lifespan. It's a fantastic, reliable solution for garages, extensions, and dormers.
  • High-Performance Felt: We use modern, multi-layer torch-on felt systems. These provide a robust, cost-effective, and long-lasting waterproof barrier when expertly installed.

Reliable Roof Repairs & Maintenance: Keeping Your Home Protected

Even a small roof leak or a few slipped tiles can quickly escalate into a much larger, more expensive problem, leading to internal water damage, plaster issues, and rot. Our roof repair service is quick, efficient, and exceptionally thorough. We don't just put a temporary patch on the problem; our experienced team identifies the root cause – be it failed flashing, cracked tiles, blocked valleys, or storm damage. We provide emergency call-outs across our entire service area to secure your property promptly and prevent any further damage. Regular maintenance is a proactive step that saves money in the long run. We offer essential services from moss removal to annual roof inspections to keep your roof in its very best condition year after year.

Common Repairs We Handle:

  • Leak Detection & Repair: Using our quarter-century of experience, we accurately trace the point of water ingress and provide a durable, lasting fix.
  • Tile & Slate Replacement: We can source matching tiles or slates to seamlessly replace any cracked, slipped, or missing ones, maintaining your roof's original appearance.
  • Chimney Repairs: Our team handles everything from re-pointing crumbling mortar joints and addressing lead flashings, to safely rebuilding entire chimney stacks.
  • Ridge & Verge Repairs: We re-bed loose ridge tiles using a strong, durable mortar mix. We can also install modern dry-ridge or dry-verge systems for a very low-maintenance, secure solution.
  • Flat Roof Repairs: We patch punctures in EPDM or GRP, and seal splits in felt roofing to extend the life of your flat roof system.
  • Moss Removal & Roof Cleaning: We safely remove moss, algae, and lichen. These growths can hold moisture against your roof surface, leading to damage over time if not addressed.

Advanced Drone Roof Surveys: Clear Insights Without the Hassle

Gain a crystal-clear, comprehensive understanding of your roof's condition without the significant cost and inconvenience of scaffolding. Our drone roof survey service uses high-resolution cameras to capture incredibly detailed images and videos of your entire roof structure. This includes all those hard-to-reach areas like chimney stacks, intricate valleys, and high-level flat roofs that are impossible to see from the ground. This service is ideal for pre-purchase homebuyer reports, detailed insurance assessments, or simply to accurately diagnose a persistent roofing issue. After the survey, you will receive a full, easy-to-understand report complete with annotated images, giving you a complete and clear picture of any defects or areas needing our attention.

"Reliable and prompt - the Kevington team was able to view the property and provide options and transparent, itemised quotes on the same day I called. After deciding what level of work I wanted done, they returned soon after to carry out the roof repairs to a high standard without me even needing to be there."

"Highly recommended! Great price! First class job. Nothing was too much for these lads, very polite, got the job done and more.

Re-Roofing FAQs

Common Questions About New Roof Installations

Expert answers from Kevington Roofing and Building LTD regarding pitched roof replacements, flat roofing materials, and installation timelines across Ramsden, Bromley, Croydon, and Croydon & South London.

How do I know if I need a full re-roof or just a simple repair?

+

If your roof is over 60 years old and you are constantly finding slipped tiles or new leaks, a full re-roof is usually more cost-effective in the long run. A repair is great for isolated damage, like a few tiles blown off in a storm, but if the underlying felt is perishing, a new installation is the best way to protect your home.

How much does a new roof cost in the Bromley area?

+

The price depends on the size of your house and the materials you choose. A small terraced house using concrete tiles will cost less than a large detached home using natural slate. We provide free, no-obligation quotes where we measure up and give you a fixed price so you can plan your budget.

How long does it take to install a new roof?

+

For most semi-detached houses in Ramsden or Bromley, a full re-roof usually takes between 5 and 10 working days. This depends on the weather and how complex the roof shape is. We always make sure your home stays watertight every night while the work is ongoing.

Do I need to get planning permission for a new roof in Kent?

+

Usually, you do not need planning permission for a re-roof as long as the appearance is similar to the original. However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building, different rules apply. We can advise you on this during our initial survey.

Can you match the tiles on my existing roof for a repair?

+

Yes, we have access to a wide network of suppliers across Kent. We can usually find a very close match for older clay or concrete tiles to make sure any repairs blend in naturally with the rest of your roof.

What are the benefits of choosing EPDM rubber for a flat roof?

+

EPDM is fantastic because it is laid in large single sheets, which means there are very few seams where leaks could start. It is also highly resistant to UV rays and doesn't crack or rot over time like old-fashioned felt. It is a very smart choice for modern extensions.

Where do Kevington Roofing and Building LTD work?

+

We are based in Orpington and cover a 20-mile radius. This includes all of Bromley, Bexley, and South East London, as well as Sevenoaks, Dartford, and the surrounding Kent villages. If you are in Ramsden, Chislehurst, or Sidcup, we are just a short drive away.

Do you provide a guarantee on your roofing work?

+

We stand by our workmanship. Because we use high-quality materials and have 25 years of experience, we provide long-term guarantees on all new roof installations. This gives you total peace of mind that your home is protected.

How can a drone survey help me if I am buying a house in Bromley?

+

A standard homebuyer's report often only looks at the roof from the ground with binoculars. Our drone survey gets right up to the chimney stacks and valleys. It can spot issues that might cost you thousands of pounds later, allowing you to negotiate the house price or ask the seller to fix the problems before you move in.

Is it better to repair or replace my guttering?

+

If your gutters are just blocked, a good clean will fix the issue. However, if they are sagging, cracked, or the seals have perished, it is often better to replace them with modern UPVC. New guttering is very affordable and prevents serious damp issues from affecting your brickwork.
