Expert New Roof Installations in Orpington, Bromley & Kent

Investing in a new roof is a big decision for any homeowner, and it’s one that pays dividends for decades. At Kevington Roofing, we’re experts in designing and installing complete new roofing and re-roofing solutions that perfectly match your property's character, your budget, and the demanding British weather. Our process always starts with a detailed, friendly chat and a thorough assessment of your property's structure. From carefully removing your old roof covering to expertly installing modern, breathable membranes – like top-tier Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte – sturdy treated timber battens, and your chosen high-quality tiles or slates, we manage every step. The result is a new roof that doesn't just offer decades of robust protection but also boosts your home's thermal efficiency and dramatically improves its kerb appeal.

  • Pitched Roofing (Tiles & Slates): These are the classic, enduring choice for British homes, and we're specialists in installing both traditional and contemporary pitched roofs. We work with a fantastic range of materials, including incredibly durable concrete tiles from trusted brands like Marley and Redland. For a truly premium finish, we offer natural slate – whether it’s beautiful Welsh or Spanish slate – or high-performance man-made composite slates. We pay obsessive attention to every little detail, from verges and ridge lines to valleys, to ensure your new roof is flawlessly finished and completely weatherproof.
  • Flat Roofing (GRP, EPDM, Felt): Forget the old leaky flat roofs; modern systems are a different league entirely. We expertly install three leading flat roofing solutions:
  • GRP Fibreglass: This is a seamless, cold-applied system that cures into an exceptionally tough, waterproof layer. It’s perfect for walkways, balconies, and those trickier, more intricate roof shapes. You might know it as a ‘fibreglass roof’.
  • EPDM Rubber: This single-ply rubber membrane is celebrated for its incredible flexibility and impressive lifespan. It’s a superb, durable choice for garages, extensions, and dormer roofs.
  • High-Performance Felt: We use modern, multi-layer torch-on felt systems. These provide a robust, cost-effective waterproof barrier, expertly installed to give you maximum longevity.
  • Specialist Roofing (Lead, Zinc, Green Roofs): For projects that demand extraordinary craftsmanship and bespoke solutions, we offer specialist services. Our leadwork involves traditional bossing and welding, ideal for restoring heritage properties. We also install stunning modern zinc and copper roofs, which provide a striking architectural finish. And for those keen on sustainability, we design and install beautiful Green or ‘Living’ Roofs, which not only offer natural insulation but also help support local biodiversity.

Prompt & Reliable Roof Repairs & Maintenance in South East London

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.

Detailed Drone Roof Surveys for Homebuyers & Insurance

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.
  • Documentation: Provides clear, undeniable visual evidence for insurance claims or during property negotiations.

Durable UPVC Fascia, Soffit and Guttering Installation in Kent

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.
  • Topics & Keywords: Cost to replace fascias and soffits on a semi-detached house. UPVC capping vs. full replacement. Why is my guttering overflowing? Benefits of UPVC roofline products. Gutter cleaning services in Chislehurst. Signs you need new fascias and soffits.

FAQ

Solid Roof Conservatory FAQs

Answers to common questions about our solid roof conservatory installations, warm roof conversions, and how Kevington Roofing and Building LTD can transform your year-round living space in Croydon & South London.

How much does a solid roof conservatory conversion cost in Ramsden?

+

The cost of a solid roof conservatory depends on the size and shape of your existing structure. Generally, a warm roof conversion is a much more affordable alternative to building a traditional extension. Because we use lightweight roof tiles, we can often use your existing frames, which keeps costs down. For an accurate price, we provide free, no-obligation quotes where we measure up and discuss your material choices.

Can I use my conservatory year-round with a warm roof installation in Bromley?

+

Yes, that is the main reason homeowners in Bromley choose us. A standard glass or polycarbonate roof lets heat escape in the winter and turns the room into a greenhouse in the summer. By installing an insulated conservatory roofing system, we create a room that stays at a comfortable temperature all year round. It turns a seasonal room into a permanent living space that feels just like a normal part of your house.

What are the benefits of lightweight roof tiles for conservatory roofs?

+

Lightweight tiles are designed specifically for conservatory replacements. They give you the look of a traditional slate or tiled roof but without the heavy weight that would stress your conservatory frames. These tiles are incredibly durable, weather-resistant, and come in various colours to match your main house roof. They also help significantly with noise reduction, so you won't hear the drumming of rain like you do on a plastic roof.

Do I need planning permission for a conservatory insulation project in Kent?

+

In most cases, replacing a conservatory roof falls under 'permitted development,' meaning you don't need full planning permission. However, building regulations are important to make sure the structure is safe and thermally efficient. We handle the technical side and can advise you on the current local rules in Kent and Bromley to make sure everything is legal and above board.

How long does a warm roof conversion take to finish?

+

We aim to get most conservatory roof replacements finished within a few days. We work quickly to make the structure watertight, usually on the first day. After the external lightweight tiles are on, we move inside to finish the insulation and internal ceiling. Our goal is to give you a brand-new living space with as little disruption to your daily life as possible.
