Why Choose Kevington Roofing

Why Choose Us for Superfoil Insulation in Ramsden & Bromley?

Modern Flat Roofing: GRP, EPDM & High-Performance Felt

The world of flat roofing has evolved dramatically, moving far beyond the notoriously leaky systems of yesteryear. We expertly install three leading flat roofing solutions, each offering distinct advantages:

  • GRP Fibreglass: This is a seamless, cold-applied liquid system that cures into an incredibly tough, completely waterproof layer. It’s an ideal choice for complex roof shapes, balconies, and even walkways due to its robust nature. You might also know it as a ‘fibreglass roof’.
  • EPDM Rubber: A cutting-edge single-ply rubber membrane, EPDM is celebrated for its exceptional flexibility, UV resistance, and impressively long lifespan. It offers a fantastic, durable, and cost-effective solution for garages, extensions, and dormer roofs.
  • High-Performance Felt: We utilise modern, multi-layer torch-on felt systems. These provide a highly robust and cost-effective waterproof barrier, expertly installed by our team to guarantee maximum longevity and resilience against the elements.

Specialist Roofing: Leadwork, Zinc & Green Roofs

For projects demanding extraordinary craftsmanship and unique finishes, our specialist roofing services are second to none. Our skilled leadwork includes traditional bossing and welding techniques, perfect for sensitive heritage properties or intricate detailing. We also install modern zinc and copper roofs, which not only provide exceptional durability but also offer a stunning, contemporary architectural finish. For those with an eye on sustainability, we design and install Green or ‘Living’ Roofs, providing natural insulation, reducing stormwater runoff, and supporting local biodiversity.

Emergency Roof Leak & Storm Damage Repairs in South East London

Even the smallest leak or a few displaced tiles can quickly escalate into a significant problem, potentially causing extensive internal water damage, timber rot, and costly structural issues. Our roof repair service is swift, highly efficient, and incredibly thorough. We don't just apply a temporary patch; our priority is to accurately identify the root cause of the problem – be it failed flashing, cracked or porous tiles, blocked or damaged valleys, or direct storm damage. We offer rapid emergency call-out services across our entire service area to quickly secure your property and prevent any further damage. Beyond reactive repairs, we strongly advocate for proactive, regular maintenance. We provide a range of services from professional moss removal to comprehensive annual inspections, ensuring your roof remains in peak condition and extends its protective lifespan.

Common Roof Repairs We Handle with Expertise:

  • Leak Detection & Repair: Leveraging our 25 years of experience, we meticulously trace the precise point of water ingress, often hidden, and then implement a lasting, effective fix.
  • Tile & Slate Replacement: We expertly source and replace cracked, slipped, or missing tiles and slates, carefully matching existing materials to ensure a seamless and weatherproof repair.
  • Chimney Repairs: Your chimney is a vulnerable point. We handle everything from re-pointing crumbling mortar joints and addressing stack erosion to completely rebuilding the entire chimney structure and renewing essential lead flashings for complete waterproofing.
  • Ridge & Verge Repairs: Loose or failing ridge tiles compromise your roof's integrity. We carefully re-bed them using a durable, weather-resistant mortar mix. We also offer the installation of modern dry-ridge or dry-verge systems, providing a low-maintenance, long-lasting solution.
  • Flat Roof Repairs: We can effectively patch punctures in EPDM or GRP membranes, or expertly seal splits and cracks in felt roofing, significantly extending the life and integrity of your flat roof system.
  • Moss Removal & Roof Cleaning: Moss, algae, and lichen don't just look unsightly; they trap moisture, making your roof more susceptible to frost damage and premature material degradation. We safely and effectively remove these growths to protect your roof surface.

Thermal Efficiency FAQs

Superfoil Insulation Questions

Answers to common questions about improving your home's thermal performance and lowering U-values with professional Superfoil insulation installations by Kevington Roofing and Building LTD across Ramsden, Bromley, and Croydon & South London.

Why Use a Drone for Your Roof Survey?

+

It is safer because no one has to climb a ladder for the initial look.
It is cheaper than traditional methods.
The high-definition photos show tiny cracks and mortar failures that you cannot see from the ground.
It provides solid proof for mortgage negotiations or insurance companies.

What is Superfoil insulation and how does it help my home?

+

Superfoil is a high-performance multifoil insulation. It is made of layers of reflective foil and insulating foam or wadding. Unlike thick, itchy glass wool, it is very thin but incredibly effective. It works as a radiant barrier, reflecting heat back into your rooms during the winter and keeping the sun’s heat out during the summer. For homeowners in Ramsden and Bromley, this means a much more comfortable home and lower energy bills.

How does multifoil insulation improve energy efficiency?

+

Traditional insulation only slows down heat loss through conduction. Superfoil goes a step further by tackling radiant heat. It helps your home reach the required U-values (the measurement of heat loss) without taking up all your loft space. Because it is reflective, it stops heat from escaping through the roof, which is where most homes lose their warmth.

Can Superfoil be used in older houses in Bromley?

+

Yes, it is actually one of the best choices for older properties. Many homes in Kent have limited space in the rafters. Because Superfoil is thin, we can install it without having to raise the roof height or lose valuable room in a loft conversion. It provides a modern thermal performance boost to traditional buildings.

Is Superfoil insulation moisture-resistant?

+

One of the biggest benefits is that Superfoil acts as a vapour control layer. This stops damp air from inside your house from reaching the cold roof timbers, which reduces the risk of condensation and rot. When we install it, we create a sealed system that protects the structure of your roof while keeping you warm.

Why should I choose a specialist for roof insulation in Ramsden?

+

To get the best results, Superfoil needs to be installed with the correct air gaps. If it is just squashed in, it won’t work properly. As roofing specialists, we understand how air moves through a building. We make sure the insulation is fitted perfectly to hit the target U-values and keep your energy efficiency as high as possible.
