Your Trusted Roofing & Building Experts in Orpington & Across Kent

A small problem with your roof, like a tiny leak or a couple of slipped tiles, can quickly become a much bigger, more expensive headache. It can lead to serious internal water damage, damp, and even structural rot if left unchecked. Our roof repair service is designed to be fast, efficient, and incredibly thorough. We don't just put a plaster over the problem; we get to the bottom of it. We pinpoint the root cause – whether it's failed flashing, cracked tiles, blocked valleys, or damage from a recent storm – and provide a lasting, effective fix. We also offer emergency call-outs across our entire service area to quickly secure your property and stop further damage in its tracks. And remember, regular maintenance is truly key. We offer everything from safe moss removal to comprehensive annual inspections to ensure your roof stays in top condition year after year.

• Common Repairs We Handle:
• Leak Detection & Repair: Using our 25 years of experience, we accurately trace where the water is getting in and provide a long-term solution.
• Tile & Slate Replacement: We can source perfectly matching tiles or slates to seamlessly replace any that are cracked, slipped, or missing.
• Chimney Repairs: We tackle everything from re-pointing crumbling mortar joints and fixing cracked pots to completely rebuilding an entire chimney stack and renewing any worn lead flashings around its base.
• Ridge & Verge Repairs: We re-bed any loose ridge tiles with a durable, long-lasting mortar mix. Alternatively, we can install modern dry-ridge or dry-verge systems for a fantastic, low-maintenance solution.
• Flat Roof Repairs: We’re skilled at patching punctures in EPDM or GRP systems, or sealing splits in felt roofing, helping to extend the life of your existing flat roof.
• Moss Removal & Roof Cleaning: We safely and gently remove moss, algae, and lichen. These can hold moisture against your roof surface, leading to long-term damage if not dealt with.

Get a crystal-clear, comprehensive understanding of your roof’s exact condition, all without the significant cost and hassle of scaffolding. Our drone roof survey service uses cutting-edge, high-resolution cameras to capture incredibly detailed images and videos of your entire roof structure. This includes those tricky, hard-to-reach spots like high chimney stacks, hidden valleys, and high-level flat roofs. This service is absolutely ideal for pre-purchase homebuyer reports, for gathering clear evidence for insurance assessments, or simply for diagnosing a persistent, hard-to-find roofing issue. You’ll receive a full, easy-to-understand report complete with annotated images, giving you a complete and accurate picture of any defects or areas that need attention.

• Benefits of Drone Surveys:
• Safety: No need for risky ladders or expensive scaffolding for that initial inspection.
• Cost-Effective: Often much faster and more affordable than traditional, manual survey methods.
• Accuracy: High-definition imagery reveals even tiny cracked tiles, subtle signs of failed mortar, or other issues that are impossible to spot from the ground.

Your roofline – that critical area where your roof meets your walls – is far more than just a decorative feature. It forms a vital protective barrier, keeping rainwater out and allowing your roof space to breathe properly. At Kevington Roofing, we specialise in the complete replacement of old, tired, and rotting timber fascias, soffits, and bargeboards with modern, high-quality, and virtually maintenance-free UPVC systems. Crucially, unlike 'capping' or 'cladding' over old timber – which can hide rot and trap moisture – our full replacement service involves carefully removing all the rotten wood. We then thoroughly check the rafter ends for soundness before installing a brand-new, completely weatherproof system that will protect your home for years without ever needing a lick of paint. We also expertly install, repair, and clean all types of guttering, making sure rainwater is efficiently collected and safely diverted away from your property.

• Technical Terms Explained:
• Fascia: This is the long, straight board that runs along the lower edge of your roof, to which your guttering is directly fixed.
• Soffit: This is the board you see from below, looking up at the eaves. It often contains essential ventilation slots to allow air circulation.
• Bargeboard: This decorative board is used on the gable end of a house, covering the ends of the roof timbers.
• Guttering: This is the channel that collects rainwater as it runs off your roof, directing it safely into your downpipes.
