Durable New Roof Installations: Built to Last

A new roof is one of the most significant upgrades you can make to your property, boosting its value, energy efficiency, and kerb appeal. At Kevington Roofing, we manage the entire new roof and re-roofing process from start to finish. We begin with a thorough consultation, understanding your property's specific needs, style, and your budget. Our experts conduct a detailed structural assessment before we safely remove your old roof covering. We then install modern, breathable membranes (like Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte) and treated timber battens, forming a robust foundation for your chosen tiles or slates. Every new roof we build provides decades of dependable protection.
Pitched Roofing (Tiles & Slates): The timeless choice for many British homes. We are specialists in installing both traditional and contemporary pitched roofs. We work with a wide selection of materials, including highly durable concrete tiles from trusted brands like Marley and Redland, as well as natural slate (Welsh, Spanish) or man-made composite slates for that premium finish. We pay close attention to every detail, from verges and ridge lines to valleys, guaranteeing a flawless, weather-tight roof.
Flat Roofing (GRP, EPDM, Felt): Forget the leaky flat roofs of the past. Today's flat roofing systems offer exceptional durability and performance. We install three leading modern solutions:

  • GRP Fibreglass: A seamless, cold-applied system that dries to form an incredibly tough, waterproof layer. We often call this a 'fibreglass roof', and it's perfect for walkways, balconies, and roofs with complex shapes.
  • EPDM Rubber: This single-ply rubber membrane is incredibly flexible and boasts an impressive lifespan. It makes a fantastic, durable choice for garages, extensions, and dormers.
  • High-Performance Felt: We use modern, multi-layer torch-on felt systems. These provide a robust and cost-effective waterproof barrier, expertly installed for maximum longevity.
    Specialist Roofing (Lead, Zinc, Green Roofs): For projects demanding exceptional craftsmanship, we offer specialist roofing services. Our leadwork includes traditional bossing and welding, ideal for heritage properties and detailed architectural features. We also install modern zinc and copper roofs, which provide a stunning, contemporary finish. If you are eco-conscious, we design and install Green or 'Living' Roofs, which offer natural insulation and support local biodiversity.

Prompt & Professional Roof Repairs for Every Problem

Even a small leak or a few slipped tiles can quickly lead to bigger, more costly problems like internal water damage and timber rot. Our roof repair service is fast, efficient, and incredibly thorough. We don't just patch up the obvious; we pinpoint the root cause of the issue – whether it's failed flashing, a cracked tile, a blocked valley, or storm damage. We offer emergency call-outs across our service area to quickly secure your property and stop further damage. Beyond repairs, regular maintenance is vital. We provide services from moss removal to annual roof inspections to keep your roof in peak condition year-round.
Common Repairs We Handle:

  • Leak Detection & Repair: Our experienced team accurately traces the source of water ingress and provides a lasting, reliable fix.
  • Tile & Slate Replacement: We can source matching tiles or slates to seamlessly replace any that are cracked, slipped, or missing.
  • Chimney Repairs: We handle everything from re-pointing crumbling mortar joints to rebuilding the entire chimney stack and renewing essential lead flashings.
  • Ridge & Verge Repairs: We re-bed loose ridge tiles using a durable mortar mix. We can also install modern dry-ridge or dry-verge systems for a low-maintenance, long-term solution.
  • Flat Roof Repairs: We skilfully patch punctures in EPDM or GRP, or seal splits in felt roofing, extending its life significantly.
  • Moss Removal & Roof Cleaning: We safely remove moss, algae, and lichen. These growths not only look unsightly but also hold moisture, potentially causing damage to your roof surface over time.

Advanced Drone Roof Inspections: See Your Roof Clearly

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

  • Safety: No need for ladders or scaffolding during the initial inspection, reducing risk.
  • Cost-Effective: Faster and often much cheaper than traditional manual survey methods.
  • Accuracy: High-definition imagery reveals even tiny issues like cracked tiles, failed mortar, and other problems invisible from the ground.
  • Documentation: Provides clear, undeniable evidence for insurance claims or property negotiations.

Complete Roofline Solutions: Fascias, Soffits & Guttering

Your roofline components – fascias, soffits, and guttering – are a critical protective barrier between your roof and your walls. They are vital for directing rainwater away from your property and allowing your roof space to breathe properly. We specialise in the full replacement of old, rotting timber fascias, soffits, and bargeboards with high-quality, low-maintenance UPVC systems. Unlike 'capping' or 'cladding' over old timber, our full replacement service involves removing the rotten wood entirely. We then check the rafter ends for soundness and install a completely new, weatherproof system that will last for many years without ever needing to be painted. We also expertly install, repair, and clean all types of guttering, making sure rainwater manages effectively.
Understanding Your Roofline:

  • Fascia: The long board running along the lower edge of your roof. This is where your guttering attaches.
  • Soffit: The board you see from directly below your roofline, often featuring ventilation slots to allow air circulation.
  • Bargeboard: The decorative board used on the gable end of a house.
  • Guttering: The channel that collects rainwater from your roof and directs it away from your property.

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.
