Roof replacement in Billingshurst for roofs that are past repair. We strip the old roof, check the timbers and fit a new one, with a free, no-obligation quote first.
If repairs keep coming back, the felt underneath has perished, or many tiles are cracking or slipping, the roof may be past patching. We'll tell you straight which makes more sense. A sound roof with one or two faults is almost always better repaired.
Most pitched roofs are re-covered in clay or concrete tiles, or natural slate. We suggest options that suit the age and style of the house, and match the neighbouring homes where that matters, then talk you through how each one looks, lasts and costs.
A typical house re-roof takes one to two weeks once the scaffolding is up, depending on size, weather and what we find under the old tiles. We strip and re-cover in sections where we can, so the roof is never left open for longer than it needs to be.
We start with a visit to look at the roof, the loft and the timbers, then give you a free quote that sets out the covering, the underlay and any timber work. Scaffolding goes up before the start date, and we talk you through how the job will run.
The old tiles and battens come off in sections. We check the rafters, lay a new breathable membrane and new battens, then fit the tiles, ridge and verges. Gutters are checked as the roof edge goes back on. At the end, the scaffolding comes down and the site is cleared.
Tell us what's happening with your roof. We aim to respond the same day, and there's no call-out charge.
We look at the roof, explain what we've found in plain terms and give you a free, no-obligation quote.
We carry out the work we quoted for, then talk you through what we've done before we leave.
It depends on the size and shape of the roof, the tiles or slates you choose, access and scaffolding, and whether any timbers need replacing. A small bungalow and a large detached house are very different jobs. We look at your roof and give you a free, detailed quote.
Often, yes. In England, replacing more than a quarter of a roof's covering usually counts as building work under the Building Regulations, which can mean improving the loft insulation at the same time. We'll tell you whether your job is affected and how approval works before we start.
Yes, most people do. The work is all outside, though it's noisy during the day and there's some dust in the loft while the old roof comes off. We cover open sections at the end of each day and in bad weather, so your home stays dry.
Yes. Old tiles, battens, felt and mortar are cleared as the work goes on and taken away at the end, usually in a skip on your drive if there's room. Sound tiles can sometimes be reused on another part of the roof if they match.
