When to Replace Rather Than Repair

If your roof leaks in several places, the felt has failed across large areas, the tiles are friable or have lost their surface, or the structure has started to move, patching costs more over time than starting again. We inspect honestly and explain what we find. If a repair will do the job, a repair is what we quote for. If it will not, we explain why and show you the evidence.

What a Full Replacement Involves

We strip tiles, battens and felt back to bare rafters, check every timber and replace anything that has rotted or weakened. Modern breathable felt goes on first, then treated battens at the correct gauge for your new tiles. Tiles are laid from eaves to ridge, hips and valleys are detailed, the ridge is bedded and pointed, and lead work around any abutments is dressed properly. You get a complete roof, not a surface one.

Keeping Your Home Dry During the Work

We strip and tile in sections, never leaving large areas of bare felt overnight if rain is forecast. Every evening the roof is checked and temporary protection is in place if needed. On most homes we keep the exposed area small enough that the felt itself provides adequate short term cover while the tiles go on in a rolling programme. Your home stays liveable throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a roof replacement take in Burgess Hill?

A standard semi or terraced house takes seven to ten working days from strip to ridge. Larger detached homes or those with complex hip and valley work take a little longer. We agree a clear programme before we start so you know when each stage happens.

Will my home be liveable during a roof replacement?

Yes, in almost all cases. We work section by section and keep the open area small, so the felt layer protects the home even while tiles are off. You will have noise and some dust but the house remains safe and dry throughout the replacement.

Do I need planning permission to replace my roof in Burgess Hill?

Like for like replacements on most homes do not need planning permission. Listed buildings and properties in conservation areas are exceptions, and some tile changes can trigger a consent requirement. We have experience of working in the older parts of Burgess Hill and can advise at the survey stage.
