Welcome to Kevington Roofing and Building LTD: Your Local Roofing Specialists in Orpington & Kent

The classic pitched roof remains a popular choice for British homes, offering timeless aesthetics and robust protection. We are highly experienced in installing both traditional and contemporary pitched roofing systems. Our expertise covers a wide array of materials, including durable concrete tiles from leading brands like Marley and Redland, alongside stunning natural slate (Welsh, Spanish) or advanced man-made composite slates for that premium finish. We pay meticulous attention to every detail – from perfectly aligned verges and secure ridge lines to effective valley solutions – guaranteeing a flawless, weatherproof installation.

Gone are the days of unreliable flat roofs. Today's flat roofing technology offers superior durability and performance, and we specialise in three leading systems:

• GRP Fibreglass: This seamless, cold-applied system cures to form an incredibly tough, completely waterproof layer. It's an excellent choice for walkways, balconies, and roofs with complex layouts, often simply called a 'fibreglass roof'.
• EPDM Rubber: Known for its remarkable flexibility and impressive lifespan, EPDM is a single-ply rubber membrane that provides a robust, long-lasting solution for garages, extensions, and dormer roofs.
• High-Performance Felt: For a cost-effective yet resilient option, we install modern, multi-layer torch-on felt systems. Applied expertly, these provide a strong, waterproof barrier built for maximum longevity.

Even a small leak or a few displaced tiles can quickly lead to bigger, more costly issues like internal water damage, damp, and timber rot. Our roof repair service is both swift and effective. We don’t just patch up the obvious; we meticulously identify the root cause of the problem – whether it’s failed flashing, cracked tiles, blocked valleys, or storm damage. We offer emergency call-out services across our entire service area to secure your property promptly and prevent further harm. Beyond repairs, we also provide essential maintenance, from professional moss removal to annual roof inspections, keeping your roof in top condition. We expertly handle:

• Leak Detection & Repair: Pinpointing the exact source of water ingress and providing a lasting solution.
• Tile & Slate Replacement: Sourcing matching materials to seamlessly replace any cracked, slipped, or missing tiles or slates.
• Chimney Repairs: From re-pointing crumbling mortar to full chimney stack rebuilds and renewing lead flashings.
• Ridge & Verge Repairs: Re-bedding loose ridge tiles with durable mortar or installing modern, low-maintenance dry-ridge and dry-verge systems.
• Flat Roof Repairs: Expertly patching punctures in EPDM or GRP, and sealing splits in felt roofing to extend its lifespan.

Your roofline components – fascias, soffits, and guttering – form a crucial protective barrier for your home, directing rainwater away and allowing your roof space to breathe. At Kevington Roofing, we specialise in the full replacement of old, deteriorating timber fascias, soffits, and bargeboards with high-quality, virtually maintenance-free UPVC systems. Unlike just ‘capping’ or ‘cladding’ over old timber, our comprehensive service involves removing all the rotten wood, checking your rafter ends for soundness, and then installing a completely new, weatherproof system. This ensures a durable solution that will last for years without needing a lick of paint. We also install, repair, and clean all types of guttering to ensure efficient rainwater management around your property.

• Fascia: The long board running along the lower edge of your roof, where the guttering attaches.
• Soffit: The board visible from underneath the roof eaves, often featuring ventilation to the loft space.
• Bargeboard: The board used on the gable end of a house.
• Guttering: The channels that collect rainwater from your roof.
