Expert Roof Leak Detection & Repair in Oxted & Surrounding Areas

Finding a roof leak isn't always straightforward; it takes a keen eye, experience, and sometimes, specialist tools. Our team at Kevington Roofing doesn't just patch up visible signs of water. We conduct a thorough, systematic investigation to trace the leak back to its origin. This often involves:

• Detailed Visual Inspection: Checking for slipped, cracked, or missing tiles/slates, damaged flashing around chimneys and skylights, and compromised flat roof membranes.
• Internal Assessment: Examining your loft space for water ingress points, damp insulation, or stained timbers.
• Gutter & Downpipe Checks: Ensuring your rainwater systems are clear and diverting water correctly.
• Drone Surveys (where beneficial): For hard-to-reach or high-level areas, our drone technology provides high-resolution images, giving us a clear view without the need for costly scaffolding at the initial stage.
  We explain our findings clearly, showing you exactly where the problem lies.

Over our 25 years serving Oxted and the wider Kent area, we’ve tackled every kind of roof leak. Some of the most frequent causes we encounter include:

• Damaged or Missing Tiles/Slates: Wind, storms, or general wear and tear can dislodge or crack individual roof coverings.
• Failing Lead or Mortar Flashings: Around chimneys, skylights, and valleys, flashings are crucial seals. If they crack, lift, or corrode, water will get in.
• Blocked or Damaged Gutters/Valleys: An accumulation of leaves, moss, or debris can cause water to back up and overflow into your roof structure.
• Degraded Flat Roof Membranes: Cracks, punctures, or seam failures in felt, EPDM, or GRP flat roofs are common entry points for water.
• Faulty Pointing on Chimneys: Eroding mortar joints on your chimney stack can allow water to seep through the brickwork.
  We address these and many other issues with lasting, quality repairs.

Once we've identified the source of your leak, our skilled team carries out the necessary repairs using high-quality materials designed for durability. Our commitment is to provide a long-term solution, not just a quick fix. This might involve:

• Replacing individual tiles or slates that match your existing roof.
• Re-bedding or re-pointing ridge tiles.
• Repairing or renewing lead flashings around chimneys, valleys, and dormers.
• Patching or overlaying damaged flat roof sections with appropriate materials.
• Rebuilding or re-pointing chimney stacks.
  We always work to the highest standards, ensuring your roof is fully weatherproof and secure once we're finished.
