Brighton's Victorian terraces — the densely packed rows of Hanover, Elm Grove, Lewes Road and the Level area — were largely built in the 1870s–1900s. Many are now on their second or third set of clay plain tiles. When tiles are mechanically exhausted, battens have rotted, or the felt underlay has failed, a full re-roof is more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
For Regency properties in Kemp Town and Brunswick Town, re-roofing requires careful attention to heritage requirements. Many are in conservation areas where like-for-like Welsh slate replacement is required. We source authentic materials and work with heritage-appropriate mortars. The 1960s–70s estates of Hollingbury, Bevendean and Moulsecoomb present a different challenge — concrete interlocking tiles from this era are reaching their design life after 50+ years of coastal exposure. Modern replacement tiles match the profile while offering significantly better performance.

"Our 1890s Hanover terrace needed a full re-roof. They sourced matching clay plain tiles, removed 40 years of bodged repairs, and replaced everything correctly. The difference is immediate — no more leaks anywhere."
"Very professional throughout a week-long job. They kept the neighbours informed, cleared up every day, and the finished roof looks exactly right for the street. Competitive quote and stuck to it."
"Hollingbury property — the 1970s concrete tiles were shot. New roof is significantly better quality. They explained the options clearly, didn't oversell, and delivered exactly what was quoted."
Every job follows the same clear process — no surprises, no hidden costs, full communication throughout.

A full roof replacement is one of the most significant maintenance decisions a Brighton homeowner faces. The city's housing diversity — from Regency seafront terraces to 1970s estate housing — means every re-roofing projects requires specific local knowledge.
Brighton & Hove has over 30 conservation areas including Brunswick Town, Kemp Town, Hanover and the central Victorian streets. In these areas, full roof replacement must use materials that match what is currently on the property. We advise on conservation area requirements and source matching materials for every affected job.
Brighton's Channel-facing position means salt air, coastal UV and the thermal cycling driven by sea temperature differentials all affect material performance. We specify materials appropriate to each property's specific coastal exposure — not one-size-fits-all inland specifications.
We cover all of Brighton, Hove and East Sussex. For emergency work, we aim to reach any Brighton property within 2-4 hours. For planned re-roofing projects, we typically carry out a free survey within 48-72 hours of your call and provide a written quote the same day or within 24 hours of the survey.
A 2-bed terrace typically costs £4,500–£7,000 in Brighton. A 3-bed semi is £6,000–£10,000. Larger period properties with heritage material requirements are £10,000–£15,000+. Every quote is free and comes with a written specification.
A typical 3-bed Victorian terrace in Brighton takes 4–6 days. Larger or more complex properties may take 7–10 days. We give a realistic timeline upfront and stick to it.
Not for like-for-like re-roofing. Properties in conservation areas (Kemp Town, Brunswick Town, the Lanes) may have material constraints. We check this as part of the survey and advise before any work starts.
All our re-roofing work comes with a 10-year written workmanship guarantee. Materials carry manufacturers' warranties separately, typically 15–30 years depending on tile type. Everything is documented in your quote.
Detailed written quote. No obligation. We survey your roof and explain everything before you decide.
