A new roof is one of the biggest jobs your home will ever have, so it should be planned properly. We strip back to the rafters, check the timbers, and rebuild with modern breathable membrane, treated battens and the tile or slate that suits your house.
You'll get a clear written quote that explains what's included, and we'll keep you updated from the day the scaffold goes up to the day it comes down.

Choosing your roof covering
Concrete interlocking tiles are cost-effective and quick to lay. Clay plain tiles suit older Sussex houses and conservation areas and weather beautifully. Natural slate is long-lasting and ideal for Victorian terraces. We'll show you samples and explain the trade-offs on cost, weight and lifespan.
Planning and building regulations
Re-covering a roof like-for-like generally doesn't need planning permission, but conservation areas and listed buildings can have restrictions, and replacing more than a quarter of a roof usually brings it under Building Regulations (including insulation requirements). We'll flag what applies to your property so there are no surprises.
Common questions
How long does a re-roof take?
A typical house takes somewhere between several days and a couple of weeks, depending on size, complexity and weather. We'll give you a realistic timeframe in your quote.
Can I stay at home while my roof is replaced?
Yes, most people do. We work in sections and keep the roof weathertight at the end of each day.
