Expert New Roof Installations: Built to Last for Your Home

Investing in a new roof is a significant decision, and at Kevington Roofing, we ensure it's a worthwhile one. We provide complete new roof and re-roofing solutions tailored precisely to your property’s unique style, your budget, and the performance you need. Our process starts with a detailed consultation and a thorough structural assessment. We take care of everything, from safely removing your old roof covering to installing modern, breathable membranes – like top-tier Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte – along with treated timber battens. Then comes your choice of high-quality tiles or slates. Every new roof we install is designed to offer decades of superior protection, boost your home’s thermal efficiency, and significantly enhance its kerb appeal.

  • Pitched Roofing (Tiles & Slates): The classic, durable choice for British homes. We’re specialists in installing both traditional and modern pitched roofs. We work with a wide range of materials, including robust concrete tiles from trusted brands like Marley and Redland, as well as natural slate (like Welsh or Spanish) or man-made composite slates for that premium finish. We pay meticulous attention to details like verges, ridge lines, and valleys, making sure your new roof has a flawless, weatherproof finish.
  • Flat Roofing (GRP, EPDM, Felt): Modern flat roofing is a world away from the problematic systems of the past. We install three leading, highly effective systems:
  • GRP Fibreglass: A seamless, cold-applied system that hardens into an incredibly tough, waterproof layer. It's perfect for walkways, balconies, and roofs with complex shapes, often called a 'fibreglass roof'.
  • EPDM Rubber: A single-ply rubber membrane renowned for its amazing flexibility and exceptionally long lifespan. This is a fantastic, durable solution for garages, extensions, and dormers.
  • High-Performance Felt: We use advanced, multi-layer torch-on felt systems that create a robust and cost-effective waterproof barrier, expertly installed for maximum longevity.
  • Specialist Roofing (Lead, Zinc, Green Roofs): For projects that demand exceptional craftsmanship and unique solutions, we offer specialist services. Our expert leadwork includes traditional bossing and welding, ideal for heritage properties. We also install sleek modern zinc and copper roofs for a stunning architectural statement. And for those keen on environmental benefits, we design and install Green or 'Living' Roofs, which offer natural insulation and support local biodiversity.

Fast & Reliable Roof Repairs: Protecting Your Home from Leaks & Damage

A small leak or just a few slipped tiles can quickly escalate into a much bigger and more costly problem, leading to internal water damage and rot. Our roof repair service is fast, efficient, and incredibly thorough. We don't just patch up the obvious issue; we pinpoint the root cause – whether it's failed flashing, cracked tiles, blocked valleys, or storm damage. We provide emergency call-outs across our service area to quickly secure your property and stop further damage. Regular roof maintenance is also key to preventing problems; we offer services from safe moss removal to annual inspections to keep your roof in peak condition.
Common Repairs We Expertly Handle:

  • Leak Detection & Repair: Using our vast experience, we accurately trace the source 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 integrity and appearance.
  • Chimney Repairs: We handle everything from re-pointing crumbling mortar joints to rebuilding entire chimney stacks and renewing crucial lead flashings around them.
  • Ridge & Verge Repairs: We carefully re-bed loose ridge tiles using a highly durable mortar mix, and we can also install modern dry-ridge or dry-verge systems for a truly low-maintenance solution.
  • Flat Roof Repairs: We can expertly patch punctures in EPDM or GRP, or effectively seal splits in felt roofing to significantly extend its life.
  • Moss Removal & Roof Cleaning: We safely remove unsightly and damaging moss, algae, and lichen, which can hold moisture and harm your roof surface over time.

Clear Insights with Our Drone Roof Surveys & Inspections

Get a clear, comprehensive understanding of your roof's condition without the expense and inconvenience of scaffolding. Our drone roof survey service uses high-resolution cameras to capture detailed images and videos of your entire roof structure, including those tricky-to-reach areas like chimney stacks, valleys, and high-level flat roofs. This service is an ideal solution for pre-purchase homebuyer reports, detailed insurance assessments, or simply diagnosing a persistent roofing issue. You'll receive a full, easy-to-understand report complete with annotated images, giving you a complete picture of any defects or areas needing attention.
Benefits of Our Drone Surveys:

  • Safety First: We avoid the need for ladders or scaffolding during the initial inspection, making it much safer.
  • Cost-Effective: This method is significantly faster and often cheaper than traditional survey approaches.
  • Accuracy You Can Trust: High-definition imagery reveals even tiny cracked tiles, failed mortar, and other issues that are impossible to see from the ground.
  • Valuable Documentation: Provides clear, undeniable evidence for insurance claims or property negotiations.

Durable Roofline Solutions: Fascias, Soffits & Guttering

Your roofline components – fascias, soffits, and guttering – form the vital protective barrier between your roof and your walls. They are absolutely crucial for keeping rainwater out and allowing your roof space to breathe properly. At Kevington Roofing, we specialise in the full replacement of old, rotting timber fascias, soffits, and bargeboards with high-quality, low-maintenance UPVC systems. Crucially, unlike companies that simply 'cap' or 'clad' over old timber, our full replacement service involves removing the rotten wood entirely, checking the rafter ends for soundness, and then installing a completely new, weatherproof system. This will last for years and never need painting. We also expertly install, repair, and clean all types of guttering to ensure rainwater is efficiently collected and safely diverted away from your home.
Technical Terms Explained Simply:

  • Fascia: This is the long, straight board that runs along the lower edge of your roof, to which your guttering is directly fixed.
  • Soffit: The board you see from below, often tucked under the fascia, which frequently contains ventilation slots to prevent condensation in your loft.
  • Bargeboard: This is the decorative board used on the sloping edge of a gable end of a house.
  • Guttering: The channel system that collects rainwater from your roof and directs it to the downpipes.

Expert Roofing FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about new roof installations, emergency roof repairs, or flat roofing materials like GRP and EPDM? Read expert advice from Kevington Roofing and Building LTD, drawing on over 25 years of trade experience serving Croydon & South London, Ramsden, Bromley, and South London.

How do I know if I need a full new roof or just a repair?

+

It usually depends on the age and the overall state of the materials. If you have one or two leaks or a few slipped tiles, a repair is often enough. However, if the tiles are starting to crumble or the felt underneath has perished, you might spend more money on constant small repairs than you would on a fresh start. We can give you an honest assessment and show you the photos so you can decide for yourself.

How long does it take to install a new roof on a house in Ramsden?

+

For an average semi-detached house, the work usually takes between 5 and 10 working days, depending on the weather. We try to keep the disruption to a minimum and always make sure your home is watertight at the end of every day.

Are your flat roofing systems better than the old felt roofs?

+

Yes, significantly. Modern GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber systems are designed to last 25 to 30 years or more. They don't have the same issues with seams and bubbling that old-fashioned bitumen roofs had. They are much more reliable and offer better value for money over time.

Can you match the tiles on my Bromley home if I only need a repair?

+

We make every effort to find a perfect match. Because we’ve worked in the Bromley and Kent area for 25 years, we know where to source tiles and slates that match the local property styles, whether your home is a Victorian terrace or a more modern build.

How often should I have my gutters cleaned or checked?

+

We recommend a check at least once a year, usually in late autumn after the leaves have fallen. Blocked gutters can lead to water backing up and soaking into your walls, which causes damp inside the house. Regular cleaning is a small price to pay to avoid that.
