Re-roofing in West Sussex

Covering West Sussex

We cover West Sussex, including Crawley, Worthing, Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, and the towns around them.

Homes in the South East

Many South East homes are inter-war or post-war semis and detached houses with room for rear and side extensions, while historic town centres and villages bring conservation area and listed building controls.

What goes into re-roofing?

Re-roofing means stripping a pitched roof back to the rafters and replacing the membrane, battens, tiles or slates, ridge and flashings. It is needed when a roof covering reaches the end of its life, and it is the right time to improve loft insulation.

Strip old covering and check timbers
Breathable membrane and new battens
Fascias, soffits and guttering if required

Do you need permission for re-roofing in West Sussex?

English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.

Replacing a roof covering like for like does not usually need planning permission in England.

What can change the price or programme?

Neighbouring roofs on semis and terraces need careful junction details.
Bats can roost in roofs; if signs are found, work pauses for advice.

What happens after I enquire?

Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.

What people ask before starting

Do I need planning permission to re-roof?

Not usually for like-for-like replacement, unless the house is listed or in a conservation area with extra controls.

Should I replace the fascias at the same time?

Usually yes, because the scaffolding is already up.

Who deals with the council for a project in West Sussex?

We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
