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

Durable Pitched Roof Replacements: Tiles & Slates for Gillingham Properties

Many homes in Gillingham feature traditional pitched roofs, and we're experts in installing new ones that blend perfectly with your home's style while offering superior protection. We work with an extensive range of high-quality materials to provide the best fit for your budget and aesthetic. Choose from durable concrete tiles from trusted brands like Marley and Redland, renowned for their longevity and wide colour selection. Alternatively, opt for the timeless elegance of natural slate (Welsh or Spanish) or modern man-made composite slates, offering a premium finish. Our team pays meticulous attention to every detail, from verges and ridge lines to valleys, ensuring a flawless, weatherproof installation that will last for years.

Modern Flat Roof Systems: Long-Lasting Solutions for Extensions & Garages

Gone are the days of leaky, unreliable flat roofs. Today's flat roofing systems offer exceptional durability and performance, making them ideal for extensions, garages, dormers, and commercial properties throughout Gillingham. At Kevington Roofing, we specialise in three leading technologies:

  • GRP Fibreglass: A seamless, cold-applied system that cures into a tough, waterproof layer, often known as a 'fibreglass roof'. It’s perfect for complex shapes or areas with foot traffic like balconies.
  • EPDM Rubber: This single-ply rubber membrane is incredibly flexible, UV-resistant, and boasts an impressive lifespan, providing a fantastic, durable solution that moves with your building.
  • High-Performance Felt: For a robust and cost-effective waterproof barrier, we use modern, multi-layer torch-on felt systems, expertly installed for maximum longevity. Our team ensures every new flat roof installation meets the highest standards of waterproofing and durability.

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.
