Signs it's time for a new roof
Leaks that keep returning in different places, tiles slipping or cracking across the whole roof, a sagging roof line and daylight showing through from the loft all point to a roof at the end of its life. At that stage, more repairs rarely last.

Choosing tiles or slates
New roofs can be covered in clay or concrete tiles or natural or man-made slate. Each looks different, weighs a different amount and suits different roof pitches. We'll recommend options that suit your house and the roofs around it, and show you samples.

Building regulations and planning
Replacing a roof usually counts as building work, so building control may need to know and the loft insulation may need upgrading. Like-for-like re-roofing rarely needs planning permission, but listed buildings and conservation areas can have extra rules. We'll explain what applies to your home.
What to expect from a new roof installation
Before any work starts, we inspect the roof and loft, agree the materials with you and give you a written quote. Scaffolding goes up first. We then strip the old tiles, felt and battens and check every rafter, repairing or replacing any timber that has rotted or weakened.
Next comes a new breathable membrane, new battens and the tiles or slates, with ridges, hips and valleys finished properly and flashing renewed where the roof meets walls and chimneys. Once the roof is complete, we check it over, clear the site and take the scaffolding down.

New roof installation questions
How much does a new roof cost in Burgess Hill?
The price depends on the size and shape of the roof, the tiles or slates you choose, the condition of the timbers and the scaffolding needed. A simple roof costs less than one with dormers and valleys. We inspect first and give you a free, written quote with everything included.
How long does a new roof take to fit?
Most re-roofs on a typical house in Burgess Hill take between one and two weeks, depending on the size of the roof and the weather. We keep the roof weathertight at the end of each day, so your home stays dry even while the work is still in progress.
Can I stay in my home while the roof is replaced?
Yes. Most people stay at home during a re-roof. There will be noise and some dust in the loft, and the scaffolding will be up for the length of the job, but the inside of your house is protected and the roof is covered every night.
Do I need building control approval for a new roof in Burgess Hill?
Usually, yes. Replacing most or all of a roof is normally building work, so building control should be notified, and the insulation may need to meet current standards. We'll explain what's needed for your roof and how the approval is handled before we start.
