Welcome to Kevington Roofing and Building LTD: Your Trusted Local Roofers

A new roof is one of the most significant investments you can make in your property, protecting your family and possessions for decades. At Kevington Roofing, we provide complete new roof and re-roofing solutions tailored precisely to your property's style, your budget, and the performance you need. Our process starts with a thorough consultation and structural assessment. We manage every step, from the safe removal of your old roof covering to installing modern, breathable membranes (like Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte), treated timber battens, and your choice of high-quality tiles or slates. Your new roof will provide decades of protection, boost thermal efficiency, and significantly enhance your home's kerb appeal.

• Pitched Roofing (Tiles & Slates): The classic, durable choice for British homes. We specialise in installing both traditional and modern pitched roofs. We work with a range of materials, including robust concrete tiles from leading brands like Marley and Redland, alongside natural slate (Welsh, Spanish) or man-made composite slates for a truly premium finish. We pay meticulous attention to details such as verges, ridge lines, and valleys to ensure a flawless, completely weatherproof roof.
• Flat Roofing (GRP, EPDM, Felt): Today’s flat roofing systems are a world away from the problematic ones of the past. We install three leading modern systems:
• GRP Fibreglass: This seamless, cold-applied system cures into an exceptionally tough, waterproof layer. It's an ideal solution for walkways, balconies, and roofs with complex shapes. It’s often referred to simply as a 'fibreglass roof'.
• EPDM Rubber: An incredibly flexible, single-ply rubber membrane renowned for its long lifespan and exceptional durability. This is a fantastic, long-lasting choice for garages, extensions, and dormers.
• High-Performance Felt: We use advanced, multi-layer torch-on felt systems. These provide a highly robust and cost-effective waterproof barrier, expertly installed for maximum longevity.
• Specialist Roofing (Lead, Zinc, Green Roofs): For projects demanding exceptional craftsmanship, we offer specialist services. Our expert leadwork includes traditional bossing and welding, perfect for heritage properties. We also install modern zinc and copper roofs, delivering a stunning architectural finish. For those focused on eco-friendly solutions, we design and install Green or 'Living' Roofs, which offer natural insulation and support local biodiversity.

Even a small leak or a few slipped tiles can quickly escalate into a major headache, causing internal water damage, damp, and structural rot. Our roof repair service is fast, efficient, and exceptionally thorough. We don't just patch up the obvious; we pinpoint the root cause of the problem – be it failed flashing, cracked tiles, blocked valleys, or damage from a recent storm. We provide emergency call-outs across our service area to quickly secure your property and prevent further damage. Regular roof maintenance is absolutely crucial for your roof’s lifespan. We offer services from safe moss removal to annual inspections, keeping your roof in peak condition year after year.

• Common Repairs We Handle:
• Leak Detection & Repair: Drawing on our extensive experience, we accurately trace the point of water ingress and provide a durable, lasting fix.
• Tile & Slate Replacement: We expertly source matching tiles or slates to seamlessly replace any cracked, slipped, or missing ones, maintaining your roof’s aesthetic and integrity.
• Chimney Repairs: We handle everything from re-pointing crumbling mortar joints and addressing unstable brickwork to rebuilding entire chimney stacks and renewing crucial lead flashings.
• Ridge & Verge Repairs: We carefully re-bed loose ridge tiles using a highly durable mortar mix and can install modern dry-ridge or dry-verge systems for a low-maintenance, long-lasting solution.
• Flat Roof Repairs: We can expertly patch punctures in EPDM or GRP systems, or effectively seal splits in felt roofing to significantly extend its life.
• Moss Removal & Roof Cleaning: We safely remove unsightly and damaging moss, algae, and lichen. These growths can hold moisture against your roof surface, causing long-term damage if left untreated.

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

• Benefits of Drone Surveys for You:
• Safety First: There's no need for dangerous ladders or expensive scaffolding for the initial inspection, reducing risks.
• Cost-Effective: It’s significantly faster and therefore more economical than traditional, manual survey methods.
• Accuracy: High-definition imagery truly reveals cracked tiles, failed mortar, blocked gutters, and other subtle issues often invisible from ground level.
• Clear Documentation: Provides invaluable, undeniable visual evidence for insurance claims or crucial property negotiations.

Your roofline components – fascias, soffits, and guttering – form the vital protective barrier between your roof and your walls. They are essential for keeping rainwater out and allowing your roof space to breathe properly. At Kevington Roofing, we specialise in the full replacement of old, rotting timber fascias, soffits, and bargeboards with high-quality, low-maintenance UPVC systems. Unlike 'capping' or 'cladding' over old timber, our full replacement service involves carefully removing the rotten wood, checking the rafter ends for soundness, and then installing a completely new, weatherproof system. This will last for years without ever needing to be painted, saving you time and money. We also expertly install, repair, and clean all types of guttering to ensure rainwater is managed effectively and safely away from your property.

• Understanding Your Roofline – Technical Terms Explained:
• Fascia: This is the long, straight board that runs along the lower edge of the roof. It’s where your guttering is typically fixed.
• Soffit: The board you see from directly below, looking up at the eaves. It often contains ventilation slots to prevent condensation in your roof space.
• Bargeboard: This board is specifically used on the gable end (the triangular part) of a house, covering the timber joists.
• Guttering: The channel that collects rainwater as it runs off your roof, directing it safely away from your property’s foundations.
