Why Consider a Full Roof Replacement?

Over time, even the best roofs can succumb to the elements. Decades of harsh weather, sun exposure, and general wear and tear can lead to a range of issues. You might notice cracked or missing tiles, persistent leaks that patching can't fix, sagging rooflines, or a dramatic increase in your energy bills due to poor insulation. Old roofing materials, like outdated felt or worn-out tiles, simply won't perform like modern systems. A full roof replacement offers a chance to upgrade to superior materials, enhance your home's thermal efficiency, and significantly boost its kerb appeal and value. It's often the most cost-effective long-term solution compared to ongoing, piecemeal repairs.

Our Comprehensive Re-Roofing Process, Designed for You

Undertaking a re-roofing project can feel daunting, but with Kevington Roofing, we make the entire process smooth and stress-free. Our approach begins with a thorough, no-obligation consultation and a detailed structural assessment of your existing roof and timbers. We discuss your needs, explore material options, and provide clear, transparent advice. Once you’re happy, our skilled and directly employed team takes care of everything. This includes the safe and efficient removal of your old roof covering, inspecting and, if necessary, repairing or reinforcing the underlying structure. We then install modern, high-performance breathable membranes, new treated timber battens, and your chosen high-quality tiles or slates. Every job is managed meticulously from start to finish, providing you with a robust, watertight, and beautiful new roof installation.

Pitched Roof Replacements: Timeless Style & Durable Protection

Pitched roofs are a hallmark of British homes, offering excellent drainage and a classic aesthetic. As specialists in pitched roof replacements, we work with a wide array of trusted materials. For durable and cost-effective solutions, we install high-quality concrete tiles from leading brands like Marley and Redland. If you're looking for a premium, long-lasting finish, we expertly fit natural slate (including robust Welsh and Spanish slate) or innovative man-made composite slates. Our attention to detail ensures perfect verges, precise ridge lines, and secure valleys, guaranteeing a flawless, weatherproof finish that will stand the test of time and truly enhance your property’s look.

Modern Flat Roof Replacements: Advanced & Long-Lasting

Forget the leaky flat roofs of yesteryear; modern flat roofing solutions are incredibly resilient and designed for longevity. For your flat roof replacement needs, we offer three leading, high-performance systems. Our GRP Fibreglass roofs provide a seamless, cold-applied system that cures into an exceptionally tough, waterproof layer, ideal for garages, extensions, and even walkable balconies. We also specialise in EPDM Rubber roofing, a single-ply membrane renowned for its incredible flexibility and impressive lifespan, making it a fantastic choice for many flat roof areas. For a robust and cost-effective option, our high-performance felt systems utilise modern, multi-layer torch-on techniques, expertly installed to provide a dependable waterproof barrier for years to come.

Specialist Re-Roofing Services: Craftsmanship for Unique Properties

For properties requiring exceptional care and traditional craftsmanship, Kevington Roofing offers specialist re-roofing services. Our skilled leadwork includes time-honoured bossing and welding techniques, perfect for heritage properties, listed buildings, or intricate details like dormer cheeks and chimney flashings. For a contemporary architectural statement, we also install modern zinc and copper roofing systems, known for their stunning appearance and outstanding durability. If you’re considering an eco-friendly upgrade, we design and install Green or ‘Living’ Roofs, which not only offer natural insulation but also support local biodiversity, transforming your roof into a vibrant, living space.

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.
