New Roof & Re-Roofing Solutions Built to Last

Investing in a new roof is a significant decision, and we make sure it's one you won't regret. Kevington Roofing provides comprehensive new roof and re-roofing services, tailored precisely to your property's style and your budget. Our process always starts with a thorough discussion about your needs, followed by a detailed assessment of your existing structure. We meticulously handle every step, from safely removing old coverings to installing modern, breathable membranes, robust treated timber battens, and your preferred choice of high-quality tiles or slates. Expect a roof that offers decades of dependable protection, significantly improves your home's thermal efficiency, and boosts its kerb appeal.

  • Pitched Roofing (Tiles & Slates): The classic, enduring choice for UK homes. We expertly install durable concrete tiles from leading brands like Marley and Redland, alongside natural slate (Welsh, Spanish) or man-made composite slates for that premium finish. We pay close attention to every detail, ensuring flawless verges, ridge lines, and valleys for a completely weatherproof seal.
  • Flat Roofing (GRP, EPDM, Felt): Forget the old leaky flat roofs; modern systems are incredibly robust. We specialise in three top-tier solutions:
  • GRP Fibreglass: A seamless, cold-applied system that cures into an exceptionally tough, waterproof layer, perfect for walkways, balconies, or complex roof shapes.
  • EPDM Rubber: This single-ply rubber membrane is renowned for its amazing flexibility and very long lifespan, making it an excellent, durable choice for garages, extensions, and dormers.
  • High-Performance Felt: We use advanced multi-layer torch-on felt systems, providing a highly reliable and cost-effective waterproof barrier, installed to maximise its longevity.
  • Specialist Roofing (Lead, Zinc, Green Roofs): For projects demanding exceptional skill, we offer specialist services. Our traditional leadwork includes expert bossing and welding, ideal for heritage properties. We also install contemporary zinc and copper roofs for a stunning architectural statement. For those thinking green, we design and install 'Living' Roofs, which offer natural insulation and encourage local biodiversity.

Expert Roof Repairs & Emergency Leak Fixes Across South East London

A small roof problem, like a slipped tile or a minor leak, can quickly turn into a much bigger headache, leading to internal water damage, damp, and costly structural issues. Our roof repair service is designed to be fast, efficient, and incredibly thorough. We don't just patch up the obvious; we meticulously find 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 stop further damage. Beyond urgent fixes, regular maintenance is vital; our services range from safe moss removal to annual roof inspections, all aimed at keeping your roof in peak condition. We commonly handle:

  • Leak Detection & Repair: We pinpoint the exact source of water ingress and provide a durable, lasting fix.
  • Tile & Slate Replacement: We can often source matching tiles or slates to seamlessly replace any that are cracked, slipped, or missing.
  • Chimney Repairs: From re-pointing crumbling mortar to rebuilding the entire chimney stack and renewing crucial lead flashings, we handle it all.
  • Ridge & Verge Repairs: We re-bed loose ridge tiles using strong mortar and can install modern, low-maintenance dry-ridge or dry-verge systems.
  • Flat Roof Repairs: We effectively patch punctures in EPDM or GRP, and seal splits in felt roofing to extend its lifespan.
  • Moss Removal & Roof Cleaning: We safely clear away moss, algae, and lichen, which can hold moisture and cause damage to your roof surface over time.

Advanced Drone Roof Surveys for Complete Peace of Mind

Get a crystal-clear, comprehensive picture of your 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 tricky, hard-to-reach areas like chimney stacks, hidden valleys, and high-level flat roofs. This service proves invaluable for pre-purchase homebuyer reports, detailed insurance assessments, or simply diagnosing a persistent roofing issue. You'll receive a full, easy-to-understand report complete with annotated images, giving you a complete overview of any defects or areas needing our attention.

  • Safety: No need for risky ladders or expensive scaffolding for the initial inspection.
  • Cost-Effective: Often quicker and more affordable than traditional hands-on survey methods.
  • Accuracy: High-definition imagery reveals even the smallest cracked tiles, failed mortar, or other issues not visible from the ground.
  • Documentation: Provides clear, irrefutable evidence for insurance claims or property negotiations.

UPVC Fascias, Soffits & Guttering: Protecting Your Home's Edges

Your roofline – consisting of fascias, soffits, and guttering – forms the vital protective barrier between your roof and your walls. It's absolutely essential for keeping water out and allowing your roof space to breathe correctly. We specialise in fully replacing old, rotting timber fascias, soffits, and bargeboards with top-quality, low-maintenance UPVC systems. Unlike just ‘capping’ or ‘cladding’ over existing timber, our full replacement service involves carefully removing all the old, rotten wood, checking the rafter ends for soundness, and then installing a completely new, weatherproof system. This gives you a durable solution that will last for years without needing any painting or significant upkeep. We also install, repair, and clean all types of guttering to make sure rainwater is efficiently managed away from your property.

  • Fascia: The long board that runs along the lower edge of the roof, where your guttering is fixed.
  • Soffit: The board you see from below, often containing essential ventilation slots for your roof space.
  • Bargeboard: The decorative board used on the gable end of a house.
  • Guttering: The channel that collects rainwater from the roof, directing it safely away.

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."

Philip Day

"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.
