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

Traditional Excellence: Pitched Roof Replacements for Tonbridge Properties

Pitched roofs are a classic feature of British homes, offering timeless appeal and robust protection. When it’s time for a full replacement, our team excels in installing new pitched roofs using a wide array of high-quality materials. We work with leading brands of durable concrete tiles, such as Marley and Redland, known for their strength and versatility. For those seeking a premium finish, we expertly install natural slate (including beautiful Welsh and Spanish options) or modern, man-made composite slates that offer a consistent aesthetic and longevity. Our meticulous attention to detail on critical areas like verges, ridge lines, and valleys means your new roof will not only be beautiful but also completely weatherproof, providing superior defence against the elements for many years.

Modern Protection: Advanced Flat Roof Replacements

Gone are the days of problematic flat roofs. Today’s flat roofing systems offer incredible durability, longevity, and performance, making them an excellent choice for extensions, garages, dormers, and commercial properties. Kevington Roofing provides a comprehensive flat roof replacement service, offering three leading solutions tailored to your specific needs:

  • GRP Fibreglass (Fibreglass Roof): A seamless, cold-applied system that cures into an incredibly tough, completely waterproof layer. It's ideal for areas with complex shapes or those requiring a durable surface, like balconies or walkways.
  • EPDM Rubber: This single-ply rubber membrane is renowned for its exceptional flexibility, UV resistance, and impressive lifespan. It’s a fantastic, durable solution that performs exceptionally well in varying weather conditions.
  • High-Performance Felt: We install modern, multi-layer torch-on felt systems. This robust and cost-effective waterproof barrier is expertly applied to ensure maximum longevity and resilience against the elements.

A Seamless Journey: Our Re-Roofing Process Explained

Undertaking a new roof installation should be a smooth, stress-free experience. Our process begins with a detailed, free consultation and a thorough assessment of your existing roof structure. We discuss your needs, budget, and material preferences, providing expert advice to help you make informed decisions. We then provide a clear, itemised, no-obligation quotation. Once agreed, our directly employed team takes care of everything: from the safe removal and disposal of your old roof covering, to inspecting and repairing timber structures, installing modern breathable membranes and treated timber battens, and finally, expertly fitting your chosen tiles or slates. We manage the entire job with minimal disruption, keeping your property clean and safe throughout the process.

More Than Tiles: Comprehensive Roofline Solutions for Your New Roof

When investing in a new roof, it’s the perfect time to consider the condition of your roofline components – your fascias, soffits, and guttering. These elements are vital for directing rainwater away from your property and allowing your roof space to breathe. At Kevington Roofing, we specialise in the full replacement of old, deteriorating timber fascias (the board holding the guttering), soffits (the board under the eaves, often with ventilation), and bargeboards (on gable ends) with high-quality, low-maintenance UPVC systems. Unlike just ‘capping’ over old timber, we remove any rotten wood, check the rafter ends for soundness, and install a brand-new, completely weatherproof system. This gives your entire roof system a fresh, cohesive look and eliminates the need for painting for years to come. We also ensure all new guttering is perfectly installed to manage rainwater effectively from your fantastic new roof.

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.
