Why Choose Kevington Roofing

Why Choose Us for Superfoil Insulation in Ramsden & Bromley?

Flat Roofing: GRP, EPDM, Felt

Today’s flat roofing systems are a world away from the leaky, unreliable setups of the past. We install three leading, highly effective systems:

  • GRP Fibreglass: This is a seamless, cold-applied system that cures into an incredibly tough, completely waterproof layer. It's an ideal choice for walkways, balconies, and roofs with complex shapes. You might also hear it called a 'fibreglass roof'.
  • EPDM Rubber: Known for its incredible flexibility and exceptionally long lifespan, EPDM is a single-ply rubber membrane. It offers a fantastic, durable solution for garages, extensions, and dormers, often outlasting traditional materials.
  • High-Performance Felt: We use modern, multi-layer torch-on felt systems. These provide a robust and cost-effective waterproof barrier, expertly installed by our skilled team for maximum longevity and peace of mind.

Specialist Roofing: Lead, Zinc, Green Roofs

For projects demanding exceptional craftsmanship and unique aesthetics, we offer specialist roofing services. Our traditional leadwork includes expert bossing and welding, perfect for heritage properties or intricate detailing. We also install modern zinc and copper roofs, which not only provide outstanding durability but also deliver a stunning architectural finish. For those who are environmentally conscious, we design and install Green or 'Living' Roofs, which offer natural insulation, support local biodiversity, and create beautiful, living spaces.

Emergency Roof Leak & Storm Damage Repairs in South East London

A small leak or a few slipped tiles can escalate surprisingly quickly into a much bigger problem, causing significant internal water damage, damp, and even structural rot. Our roof repair service is fast, efficient, and incredibly thorough. We don't just patch up the obvious; drawing on 25 years of experience, we meticulously identify the root cause of the issue – whether it's failed flashing, cracked tiles, blocked valleys, or damage from a recent storm. We provide emergency call-outs across our entire service area to secure your property promptly and prevent any further damage. Remember, regular maintenance is key; we offer essential services from safe moss removal to annual roof inspections to keep your roof in peak condition, saving you money and hassle in the long run.

Common Roof Repairs We Handle:

  • Leak Detection & Repair: With our extensive experience, we precisely trace the point of water ingress and provide a lasting, reliable fix, not just a temporary patch.
  • Tile & Slate Replacement: We expertly source matching tiles or slates to seamlessly replace any cracked, slipped, or missing ones, maintaining your roof's appearance and integrity.
  • Chimney Repairs: We handle every aspect, from re-pointing crumbling mortar joints and repairing damaged brickwork to rebuilding entire chimney stacks and renewing crucial lead flashings.
  • Ridge & Verge Repairs: We carefully re-bed loose ridge tiles using a durable mortar mix. We can also install modern dry-ridge or dry-verge systems, which offer a highly durable, low-maintenance solution.
  • Flat Roof Repairs: We’re skilled in patching punctures in EPDM or GRP systems, or effectively sealing splits in felt roofing to significantly extend its lifespan.
  • Moss Removal & Roof Cleaning: We safely and effectively remove moss, algae, and lichen. These growths can hold moisture, cause blockages, and over time, damage your roof surface and lead to premature wear.

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.
