New Roof Installations: Built to Last in Gillingham

A new roof is a significant investment, and we make sure it's one that truly pays off for your Gillingham property. Our approach begins with a comprehensive chat and a thorough assessment of your home's structure. We handle every step, from carefully removing your old roof covering to installing modern, breathable membranes – like Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte – and treated timber battens. Then comes your choice of high-quality tiles or slates, ensuring your new roof offers decades of protection, boosts thermal efficiency, and enhances your home's kerb appeal.

Trusted Roofing Experts in Croydon, Bromley & South London

Flat Roofing (GRP, EPDM, Felt): Forget the old stories of leaky flat roofs. Today’s flat roofing systems are robust and reliable. We expertly install three leading options:

  • GRP Fibreglass: A seamless, cold-applied system that cures into an incredibly tough, waterproof layer. It's perfect for walkways, balconies, and more complex roof shapes, often known simply as a 'fibreglass roof'.
  • EPDM Rubber: This single-ply rubber membrane is celebrated for its incredible flexibility and very long lifespan. It’s 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.

Expert Roof Repairs & Maintenance for Gillingham Properties

Even a small roof problem can quickly turn into a major headache, leading to internal water damage or timber rot. Our roof repair service is quick, efficient, and goes beyond just patching things up. We pinpoint the root cause – whether it's failed flashing, cracked tiles, blocked valleys, or storm damage – and provide a lasting solution. We offer emergency call-outs across our service area, including Gillingham, to secure your property and prevent further damage. Regular maintenance is also vital; we offer services from safe moss removal to annual roof inspections to keep your roof in prime condition year-round.

Common Repairs We Master:

  • Leak Detection & Repair: Our experienced team accurately traces the point of water ingress to provide a durable fix.
  • Tile & Slate Replacement: We can source matching tiles or slates to seamlessly replace any that are cracked, slipped, or missing.
  • Chimney Repairs: From re-pointing crumbling mortar joints to rebuilding entire chimney stacks and renewing lead flashings, we handle it all.
  • Ridge & Verge Repairs: We carefully re-bed loose ridge tiles using a durable mortar mix and can also install modern dry-ridge or dry-verge systems for a low-maintenance solution.
  • Flat Roof Repairs: We’re skilled at patching punctures in EPDM or GRP, and sealing splits in felt roofing to extend its lifespan.
  • Moss Removal & Roof Cleaning: We safely remove moss, algae, and lichen, which can hold moisture against your roof surface and cause damage over time.

Precision Roof Inspections: Drone Surveys for Gillingham Homes

Gain a crystal-clear, comprehensive picture of your Gillingham roof's condition without the expense and inconvenience of scaffolding. Our drone roof survey service uses high-resolution cameras to capture detailed images and videos of your entire roof structure. This includes those hard-to-reach areas like chimney stacks, valleys, and high-level flat roofs. This service is perfect for pre-purchase homebuyer reports, insurance assessments, or simply diagnosing a persistent issue. You’ll receive a full report, complete with annotated images, giving you a complete understanding of any defects or areas needing attention.

What Our Clients Say About Kevington Roofing and Building LTD

"Fantastic service from the team at Kevington Roofing and Building today. They were recommended by a friend and I was very impressed. I’ll be using them again."

Celia Bennett

"Reliable and prompt - the Kevington team was able to view the property and provide options and transparent, itemised quotes on the same day I called. After deciding what level of work I wanted done, they returned soon after to carry out the roof repairs to a high standard without me even needing to be there."

"Highly recommended! Great price! First class job. Nothing was too much for these lads, very polite, got the job done and more. When they had finished they cleaned up that well, even took some of my own rubbish away for me. Well done lads! Not often you get a good, honest local roofer anymore! Thanks again."

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.
