New Roof Installations: A Long-Term Investment in Your Home

A new roof is a significant step, and we treat it with the importance it deserves. Our approach begins with a comprehensive chat and a thorough look at your property's structure. We manage every part of the process, from carefully taking off the old covering to putting in place modern, breathable membranes – think materials like Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte – sturdy treated timber battens, and your chosen high-quality tiles or slates. Every new roof we install is designed to offer decades of protection, boost your home's energy efficiency, and greatly enhance its kerb appeal.

  • Pitched Roofing (Tiles & Slates): The classic look for many UK homes. We’re experts in installing both traditional and contemporary pitched roofs, working with durable concrete tiles from names like Marley and Redland, or natural slate (Welsh, Spanish) and man-made composite slates for a refined finish. We pay close attention to every detail, from the verges to the ridge lines and valleys, to make sure you get a perfectly waterproof and flawless result.
  • Flat Roofing (GRP, EPDM, Felt): Modern flat roofing systems are a world away from the old, troublesome setups. We install three leading options:
  • GRP Fibreglass: This is a seamless, cold-applied system that dries into a really tough, waterproof layer. It's excellent for flat roofs, balconies, and areas with unusual shapes. Some people know it as a 'fibreglass roof'.
  • EPDM Rubber: A single-ply rubber membrane known for its amazing flexibility and very long lifespan. It’s a brilliant, durable choice for garages, extensions, and dormers.
  • High-Performance Felt: We use modern, multi-layer torch-on felt systems. These give you a strong, cost-effective waterproof barrier, installed with precision for maximum longevity.

Swift & Dependable Roof Repairs for Unexpected Problems

Even a small leak or a couple of slipped tiles can quickly lead to big problems like water damage inside your home or rot in the roof structure. Our roof repair service is quick, effective, and gets to the bottom of the issue. We don't just put a patch on it; we find the real cause – whether it's failed flashing, cracked tiles, blocked valleys, or storm damage. We offer emergency call-outs across our service area to secure your property fast and stop more damage happening. Regular upkeep is also vital; we provide services from moss removal to yearly inspections to keep your roof in its best possible state.

  • Common Repairs We Tackle:
  • Leak Detection & Repair: We use our experience to pinpoint where water is getting in and provide a lasting fix.
  • Tile & Slate Replacement: We can find matching tiles or slates to neatly replace any that are cracked, slipped, or missing.
  • Chimney Repairs: We handle everything from re-pointing crumbling mortar to rebuilding the whole chimney stack and replacing lead flashings.
  • Ridge & Verge Repairs: We re-bed loose ridge tiles using a strong mortar mix and can also fit modern dry-ridge or dry-verge systems for a low-maintenance solution.
  • Flat Roof Repairs: We can patch punctures in EPDM or GRP, or seal splits in felt roofing to help it last longer.
  • Moss Removal & Roof Cleaning: We safely clear away moss, algae, and lichen, which can hold moisture and damage your roof surface over time.

Insightful Drone Roof Surveys for Total Clarity

Get a clear, detailed look at your roof's condition without the expense or fuss of scaffolding. Our drone roof survey service uses high-resolution cameras to capture detailed pictures and videos of your entire roof, including those tricky spots like chimney stacks, valleys, and high flat roofs. This service is perfect for pre-purchase homebuyer reports, insurance assessments, or simply to help diagnose a persistent roofing problem. You'll get a full report with annotated images, giving you a complete understanding of any issues or areas that need attention. It's a safer, quicker, and more accurate way to inspect your roof.

Protecting Your Property with Expert Roofline Services

Your roofline – that’s your fascias, soffits, and guttering – forms a crucial barrier, protecting your roof and walls while allowing your roof space to breathe. We specialise in fully replacing old, rotting timber fascias, soffits, and bargeboards with high-quality, low-maintenance UPVC systems. Unlike just 'capping' or 'cladding' over old timber, our full replacement process involves removing the rotten wood, checking that your rafter ends are sound, and installing a completely new, weatherproof system. This will last for years without ever needing a lick of paint. We also install, repair, and clean all types of guttering to ensure rainwater is managed effectively and safely away from your home.

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.
