Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

We are based in East Grinstead and cover roughly a 15 mile radius across Sussex and Surrey, including Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, Lingfield, Oxted, Forest Row, Crawley and Crowborough. If you are not sure whether you are in our area, give us a call on 07557 654833 and we will let you know.

How long have you been roofing?

Owner Adam Bull has 14 years of hands-on experience in the roofing trade and leads a small, dedicated team of four. Adam is involved in every job from the first visit through to completion, so you are always dealing with an experienced roofer rather than being passed around.

Are you insured?

Yes. We are fully insured, so you have complete peace of mind throughout the work. We are happy to confirm our cover before we start a job.

Do you offer free quotes?

Yes. We offer a free, no obligation quote on every job. We come out to look at the roof, discuss the options, and give you a clear, itemised price so you can make an informed decision. Call us or fill in the quote form to arrange a visit.

What are your working hours?

Our standard hours are Monday to Saturday, 08:00 to 18:00. We are closed on Sundays. For urgent problems such as an active leak or storm damage, get in touch and we will do our best to help as quickly as we can.

Do you offer a workmanship guarantee?

Yes. We stand behind our work with a workmanship guarantee and use quality materials so your roof lasts. We will explain the guarantee that applies to your specific job before we start.

How do I know if I need a new roof?

Common signs are an ageing roof of around 20 to 25 years or more, widespread missing, cracked or slipped tiles, frequent leaks appearing in several places, a sagging or dipping roofline, daylight visible through the roof covering in the loft, or lots of tile and slate fragments collecting in the gutters. We will assess it honestly and tell you whether a repair or a full renewal is the better option.

How long does a roof renewal take?

It depends on the size and pitch of the roof and the weather, but most domestic renewals take a matter of days rather than weeks. We give you a clear timeline as part of your quote so you can plan around the work.

What roofing materials do you use?

We fit concrete and clay tiles and natural slate, along with quality breathable underlay, battens and leadwork, chosen to suit your property and to stand up to the local weather. We will talk you through the options and the look and budget that work best for you.

How much does a new roof cost?

Roof renewals start from around £5,000 and the final price depends on the size and pitch of your roof, the materials you choose and access. We give you a detailed, itemised quote after looking at the roof, with no hidden extras.

Do you replace the timbers and underlay too?

Yes. Once the old covering is stripped off we check the battens and timbers, replace anything that has rotted or worn, and fit new underlay before the new roof goes on. A roof is only as good as what sits under the tiles, so we make sure it is sound all the way through.

What are the signs my flat roof needs replacing?

Repeated leaks despite repairs, blistering, bubbling or cracking in the covering, water that sits on the roof for days after rain, soft or spongy areas underfoot, and staining or damp appearing inside are all signs the roof is failing. If patch repairs are no longer holding, a renewal is usually the more cost effective answer.

How much does a flat roof renewal cost?

Flat roof renewals start from around £500 and depend on the size of the roof and how easy it is to access. We give you a clear quote before any work begins.

Do you replace the decking as well?

Where needed, yes. When we strip the old covering we check the decking underneath and replace any boards that have gone soft or rotten from water getting in. A new covering only lasts if the deck beneath it is sound.

What kinds of buildings do you cover?

We renew and recover flat roofs on extensions, garages, dormers, porches and outbuildings for both homes and commercial properties across Sussex and Surrey.

How long does a flat roof last?

A properly installed flat roof with good falls and detailing gives many years of watertight service. Getting the decking, falls and edges right is what makes the difference between a roof that lasts and one that leaks, which is why we take the time to do it properly.

When should fascias and soffits be replaced?

Signs to look for are rotten or deteriorating timber, cracked or warped boards, peeling paint from moisture, damp around the roof edges, and pests or birds getting in through damaged soffits. Replacing them protects the roof timbers behind and tidies up the whole look of your roofline.

Do you replace guttering and downpipes?

Yes. We replace leaking, sagging or blocked gutters and damaged downpipes, and set the falls correctly so rainwater is carried cleanly away from your walls and foundations. Poor guttering is a common cause of damp, so it is worth getting right.

uPVC or timber, which is better?

Low maintenance uPVC is the popular choice because it does not need painting and stands up well to the weather, but we also fit timber where it suits the property or matches existing work. We will talk you through what works best for your home and budget.

How much does fascia, soffit and gutter work cost?

This work starts from around £300 and depends on the length of your roofline and access. We give you a clear quote up front and leave the job clean and tidy.

Should the whole system be replaced together?

Often yes. Replacing the fascias, soffits and guttering together gives you a properly sealed, watertight roof edge, a consistent finish and less maintenance down the line, rather than fixing one part and finding the next fails soon after.

What roof repairs do you carry out?

We handle the full range: replacing broken or slipped tiles and slates, tracing and fixing leaks, repairing lead flashing around chimneys, walls and junctions, chimney repointing and repairs, ridge and valley repairs, gutter and downpipe repairs, and securing roofs after storm damage.

My roof is leaking, can you help quickly?

Yes. Get in touch on 07557 654833 and we will do our best to get to you as quickly as we can. Acting fast on a leak stops water working its way into the timbers, ceilings and walls where it does far more expensive damage.

How much does a roof repair cost?

Repairs start from around £100 and depend on the fault and how easy the roof is to reach. We will give you a clear price before we start, with no hidden extras.

Should I repair or replace my roof?

It depends on the age and overall condition of the roof. If the problem is isolated, a repair is usually the sensible choice. If the roof is old and failing in several places, repairs can become a false economy. We give you honest advice either way so you can make the right call.

Can you fix the cause, not just the symptom?

Yes, and that is the important part. A damp patch on a ceiling is often nowhere near the actual leak, so we take the time to trace the water back to its real source rather than just patching the nearest tile. That is what stops the same problem returning a few months later.
