Expert New Roof Installations: Durable, Beautiful Roofs for Your Kent Home

Investing in a new roof is a significant decision, and we make sure it’s a smart one. Kevington Roofing and Building LTD provides comprehensive new roof and re-roofing services, perfectly tailored to your property’s unique style, your budget, and the performance you need. Our approach starts with a detailed consultation and structural check, ensuring everything is planned correctly from the outset. We take care of the entire process, from safely removing your old roof covering to installing modern, breathable membranes – like Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte – along with treated timber battens. You then choose from a wide range of high-quality tiles or slates. The result? A new roof that offers decades of protection, boosts your home's thermal efficiency, and significantly enhances its kerb appeal.

  • Classic Pitched Roofing (Tiles & Slates): Pitched roofs remain a timeless choice for British homes, and we specialise in installing both traditional and contemporary designs. We work with resilient materials such as concrete tiles from trusted names like Marley and Redland, or premium natural slate (Welsh, Spanish) and sophisticated man-made composite slates. Our team meticulously handles every detail, including verges, ridge lines, and valleys, guaranteeing a flawless, weatherproof finish.
  • Modern Flat Roofing (GRP, EPDM, Felt): Forget the leaky flat roofs of the past; today's systems are robust and reliable. We install three leading flat roofing solutions:
  • GRP Fibreglass: This seamless, cold-applied system cures into an incredibly tough, waterproof layer. It's excellent for areas like walkways, balconies, and roofs with complex shapes, often simply called a 'fibreglass roof'.
  • EPDM Rubber: An exceptionally flexible, single-ply rubber membrane renowned for its impressive longevity. It’s a durable and effective choice for garages, extensions, and dormers.
  • High-Performance Felt: We use modern, multi-layer torch-on felt systems, professionally installed to create a strong, cost-effective waterproof barrier that lasts.
  • Specialist Roofing (Lead, Zinc, Green Roofs): For projects that demand exceptional craftsmanship and specific aesthetics, we offer specialist roofing services. Our leadwork includes traditional bossing and welding, ideal for heritage properties. We also install modern zinc and copper roofs, which provide a striking architectural statement. If you're looking for an eco-friendly option, we design and install Green or 'Living' Roofs, which provide natural insulation and help local biodiversity.

Why Choose Us for Superfoil Insulation in Ramsden & Bromley?

Swift & Reliable Roof Repairs: Protecting Your Home from Leaks & Damage

Even a small leak or a couple of slipped tiles can quickly lead to bigger problems, causing damp, internal water damage, and rot within your property. Our roof repair service is quick, efficient, and goes beyond just a temporary fix. We work to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem – whether it’s failed flashing, cracked tiles, blocked valleys, or damage from a storm. We provide emergency call-outs across our service area to secure your property immediately and stop further damage. Beyond urgent repairs, regular maintenance is crucial. We offer services from safe moss removal to annual roof inspections to keep your roof in prime condition, preventing issues before they become costly.

  • Leak Detection & Repair: We use our deep experience to trace the source of water ingress and provide a durable, lasting repair.
  • Tile & Slate Replacement: We carefully source matching tiles or slates to seamlessly replace any that are cracked, slipped, or missing.
  • Chimney Repairs: Our expertise covers everything from re-pointing crumbling mortar joints to fully rebuilding chimney stacks and replacing worn lead flashings.
  • Ridge & Verge Repairs: We re-bed loose ridge tiles using a robust mortar mix and can also install modern dry-ridge or dry-verge systems for a low-maintenance, secure solution.
  • Flat Roof Repairs: We’re adept at patching punctures in EPDM or GRP, or sealing splits in felt roofing, helping to extend the life of your existing flat roof.
  • Moss Removal & Roof Cleaning: Safely removing moss, algae, and lichen is important; these can hold moisture against your roof surface, causing damage over time.

Advanced Drone Roof Surveys: Clear Insights Without the Scaffolding

Get a complete and clear understanding of your roof’s condition without the expense or disruption 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 hard-to-reach spots like chimney stacks, valleys, and high-level flat roofs. This service is perfect for pre-purchase homebuyer reports, insurance assessments, or simply diagnosing a persistent roofing issue. You’ll receive a full report complete with annotated images, giving you a crystal-clear picture of any defects or areas that need attention.

  • Safety First: No need for ladders or scaffolding during the initial inspection, making it safer for everyone.
  • Cost-Effective: It’s a faster and often more affordable option compared to traditional survey methods.
  • Unrivalled Accuracy: High-definition imagery reveals even subtle issues like hairline cracks in tiles or early signs of mortar failure that are impossible to spot from the ground.
  • Clear Documentation: Provides excellent evidence for insurance claims or during property negotiations.

Complete Roofline Solutions: UPVC Fascias, Soffits & Guttering that Last

Your roofline acts as a critical protective barrier between your roof and your home’s walls, crucial for keeping water out and allowing your roof space to breathe correctly. We specialise in completely replacing old, decaying timber fascias, soffits, and bargeboards with high-quality, low-maintenance UPVC systems. Unlike just ‘capping’ or ‘cladding’ over old timber, our full replacement service involves carefully removing any rotten wood, checking the rafter ends for soundness, and then installing a brand-new, weatherproof system designed to last for many years without ever needing painting. We also expertly install, repair, and clean all types of guttering, making sure rainwater is managed effectively and directed away from your property.

  • What are these terms?
  • Fascia: This is the long board that runs along the lower edge of the roof, and it's where your guttering is fixed.
  • Soffit: This is the board you see from directly below your roofline, often featuring ventilation slots to allow your roof space to breathe.
  • Bargeboard: This board is used on the gable end of a house, following the roof's slope.
  • Guttering: The channel that collects rainwater as it runs off your roof.

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.
