This commitment has earned the company a strong local reputation and a steady stream of word-of-mouth referrals. One project that exemplifies these strengths is the restoration of Bow Business Centre, a complex understanding that truly tested every facet of London & Kent Roofing’s logistical and technical capability. Bow Business Centre was one of London & Kent Roofing’s largest and most complex undertakings. The project involved restoring a fire-damaged roof during one of the wettest winters on record, all while navigating severe logistical constraints. Due to low height restrictions in the rear courtyard, all plant had to be erected in tight conditions, with materials delivered onto a busy road and manually transported down a ramp into the car park before being lifted six storeys to the roof. The entire roof had been destroyed by an electrical fire and stripped back to its metal frame, with debris removed by hand and taken down to the roadside for disposal. “The insurance company tried to cut costs and not install a protective roof over the building,” David recalled. “Therefore, we had to remove the roof completely in a very wet winter and attempt to keep it watertight with polythene sheets. This was not possible, and they eventually agreed on installing a temporary roof covering of around 800m² to keep the weather out and allow us to carry on work in very wet weather.” With the temporary structure in place, London & Kent Roofing recommended a fireproof steel roof to replace the original timber, and installed an insulated Proteus felt system. The works were completed on time and in dry conditions, despite the challenges. The final installation also included solar panels and a lightning conductor system to future-proof the building with more modern upgrades. “We are proud to be known not just for roofing, but for our trusted service and honest advice,” David said, in reflection of the project. “Every job – no matter the size – is important to us, and we treat each one with care and respect.” For the remainder of 2025, London & Kent Roofing aims to build on its momentum by expanding its portfolio of commercial and local authority projects.
