Durable New Roof Installations: Protecting Your Home for Decades

A new roof is a significant investment, one that provides long-term protection, improves thermal efficiency, and boosts your home’s kerb appeal. At Kevington Roofing and Building LTD, we offer full new roof and re-roofing services tailored to your property, style, and budget. Our experienced team manages the entire process: from a thorough structural assessment and the safe removal of your old roof, right through to installing modern, breathable membranes (like Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte), treated timber battens, and your chosen high-quality tiles or slates.
For pitched roofs, the classic choice for many British homes, we work with both traditional and contemporary designs. We expertly install durable concrete tiles from trusted brands like Marley and Redland, alongside natural slate (Welsh, Spanish) or man-made composite slates for a premium finish. We pay close attention to every detail, from verges and ridge lines to valleys, ensuring a flawless, weatherproof installation.
Modern flat roofing has evolved dramatically. We install three leading systems known for their reliability:

  • GRP Fibreglass: A seamless, cold-applied system that cures into a tough, waterproof layer – perfect for walkways, balconies, and complex shapes. Homeowners often know this as a 'fibreglass roof'.
  • EPDM Rubber: An incredibly flexible and long-lasting single-ply rubber membrane, it's a fantastic, durable choice for garages, extensions, and dormers.
  • High-Performance Felt: We use multi-layer torch-on felt systems, offering a robust and cost-effective waterproof barrier, expertly installed for maximum longevity.
    Looking for something truly special? Our expertise extends to specialist roofing. We handle traditional leadwork, including bossing and welding for heritage properties, and install modern zinc and copper roofs for a stunning architectural statement. For the environmentally conscious, we design and install Green or 'Living' Roofs, which provide natural insulation and support local biodiversity.

Prompt & Professional Roof Repairs: Stopping Leaks & Preventing Damage

Even a small leak or a few slipped tiles can quickly escalate into a major headache, causing internal water damage, rot, and costly structural issues. Our roof repair service is designed to be fast, efficient, and thorough. We don't just patch the problem; we get to 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 secure your property immediately and prevent further issues. Beyond repairs, regular roof maintenance is key to prolonging your roof's life; we offer services from safe moss removal to annual inspections to keep your roof in peak condition.
Common roof problems we expertly resolve include:

  • Leak Detection & Repair: Our experience allows us to quickly trace water ingress and provide a lasting fix.
  • Tile & Slate Replacement: We source matching tiles or slates to seamlessly replace any cracked, slipped, or missing ones.
  • Chimney Repairs: From re-pointing crumbling mortar joints to rebuilding entire chimney stacks and renewing lead flashings, we handle all aspects of chimney maintenance.
  • Ridge & Verge Repairs: We re-bed loose ridge tiles using durable mortar and can install modern dry-ridge or dry-verge systems for a low-maintenance, secure solution.
  • Flat Roof Repairs: We can expertly patch punctures in EPDM or GRP, or seal splits in felt roofing to extend its lifespan.
  • Moss Removal & Roof Cleaning: Safely removing moss, algae, and lichen helps prevent moisture retention and long-term damage to your roof surface.

High-Definition Drone Roof Surveys for Unrivalled Clarity

Understand your roof's exact condition without the expense and disruption of scaffolding. Our detailed drone roof survey service uses high-resolution cameras to capture comprehensive images and videos of your entire roof structure. This includes difficult-to-reach areas like chimney stacks, valleys, and high-level flat roofs that are often missed with traditional ground-level inspections. This service is ideal for pre-purchase homebuyer reports, insurance assessments, or simply diagnosing a persistent issue that's proving hard to locate. You'll receive a full, easy-to-understand report complete with annotated images, giving you a clear picture of any defects or areas needing attention.
The benefits of choosing a drone survey from Kevington Roofing and Building LTD are clear:

  • Safety: No need for ladders or costly scaffolding for initial inspections.
  • Cost-Effective: Often faster and more affordable than traditional manual survey methods.
  • Accuracy: High-definition imagery reveals even minor issues like hairline cracks or failed mortar, invisible from the ground.
  • Documentation: Provides indisputable visual evidence for insurance claims or property negotiations.

Complete Roofline Solutions: UPVC Fascias, Soffits & Guttering

Your roofline – the fascias, soffits, and guttering – forms a crucial protective barrier between your roof and your walls. It’s vital for directing rainwater away from your property and ensuring proper ventilation for your roof space. We specialise in the full replacement of old, rotting timber roofline components with high-quality, low-maintenance UPVC systems. Crucially, we perform a full replacement, not just 'capping' over old timber. This means we remove all the rotten wood, inspect the rafter ends for soundness, and install a completely new, weatherproof system that will last for years without needing to be painted. We also expertly install, repair, and clean all types of guttering to ensure rainwater is managed effectively, preventing damp and foundation issues.
To clarify the terms:

  • Fascia: The long board running along the lower edge of your roof, directly supporting your gutters.
  • Soffit: The board visible from below, often containing ventilation slots to allow air circulation in your loft.
  • Bargeboard: The board used on the gable end of a house, providing protection and a neat finish.
  • Guttering: The channel that collects rainwater from your roof, directing it safely away.

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.
