Your Trusted Local Roofers in Chatham & Across Kent – Kevington Roofing & Building LTD

Even a small leak or a few slipped tiles can quickly spiral into a much bigger problem, leading to costly internal water damage and rot. Our roof repair service is fast, efficient, and incredibly thorough. We don't just patch up the obvious issue; our expert team finds the root cause – whether it's failed flashing, cracked tiles, blocked valleys, or storm damage. We offer emergency call-outs across our service area to quickly secure your property and prevent any further damage. Regular maintenance is also key to a long-lasting roof; we provide services ranging from safe moss removal to comprehensive annual inspections, keeping your roof in peak condition.

• Common Repairs We Handle: Our experienced team routinely fixes a wide array of problems, including precise leak detection and repair, seamless tile and slate replacement (we always strive to source matching materials), full chimney repairs (from re-pointing to rebuilding and renewing lead flashings), and ridge and verge repairs. We can re-bed loose ridge tiles using a durable mortar mix or install modern dry-ridge or dry-verge systems for a truly low-maintenance solution. For flat roofs, we efficiently patch punctures in EPDM or GRP and seal splits in felt roofing to extend its life. We also safely remove moss, algae, and lichen, which can hold damaging moisture on your roof surface over time.

Gain a crystal-clear, comprehensive understanding of your roof's condition without the expense and inconvenience of scaffolding. Our drone roof survey service uses cutting-edge, 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 professional service is ideal for pre-purchase homebuyer reports, precise insurance assessments, or simply to accurately diagnose a persistent roofing issue. You’ll receive a full, easy-to-understand report complete with annotated images, giving you a complete and accurate picture of any defects or areas needing attention.

• Key Benefits of Our Drone Surveys:
• Safety: No need for risky ladders or scaffolding for the initial inspection.
• Cost-Effective: Often much faster and more affordable than traditional survey methods.
• Accuracy: High-definition imagery reveals even tiny cracked tiles, failed mortar, and other issues invisible from the ground.
• Documentation: Provides clear, undeniable evidence perfect for insurance claims or property negotiations.

Your roofline components – the fascias, soffits, and guttering – form a critical protective barrier between your roof and your walls. They’re absolutely vital for keeping rainwater out 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, long-lasting, and incredibly low-maintenance UPVC systems. Crucially, unlike simply ‘capping’ or ‘cladding’ over old timber, our full replacement service involves carefully removing all the rotten wood, thoroughly checking the rafter ends for soundness, and then installing a completely new, weatherproof system. This professional work will last for many years without ever needing a lick of paint. We also expertly install, repair, and clean all types of guttering, making sure rainwater is managed effectively and efficiently away from your property.

• Technical Terms Explained Simply:
• Fascia: This is the long, straight board that runs horizontally along the lower edge of your roof. Your guttering is directly fixed to the fascia.
• Soffit: This is the board you typically see from underneath the roofline, often containing essential ventilation slots to allow air circulation.
• Bargeboard: This decorative board is specifically used on the gable end (the triangular part) of a house, covering the ends of the roof timbers.
• Guttering: The crucial channel that collects rainwater as it runs off your roof, directing it away from your foundations.
