Roofing and driveways in Lewes

Across Lewes (BN7) it is mostly natural slate and clay tile re-roofs on period brick and flint property, chimney rebuilds, lead and valley work, and gravel or permeable drives, plus the flat roofs, fascias, guttering and patios that go alongside all of it. Lewes sits inside the South Downs National Park, where the authority takes a close interest in external materials and in anything that changes how water leaves a site. Natural slate, clay tile and permeable driveway surfaces are the straightforward route, and worth confirming before ordering materials. Every job starts with somebody coming out and looking at it, then a free written estimate, rather than a price guessed over the phone.

No. Lewes is about 7 miles from Brighton, well inside the daily patch, so travel is in the price and a visit to measure and quote is usually a couple of days away.

Yes. Lewes is period property almost end to end, a good deal of it listed, so the work there is careful slate, lead and chimney work rather than anything quick. Give us a ring and we will tell you what we normally find on roofs and drives around Castle, and what yours is likely to need before anything comes off.

It does. Lewes is inside the South Downs National Park, and the authority takes a real interest in external materials and in surface water. In practice that means like for like roof coverings on older property and permeable driveway surfaces rather than anything that pushes water into the road. The housing itself splits between period brick and flint property, where it is slate, lead and chimney work, and the newer housing on the edges, where it is interlocking tile re-roofs, fascias and drives. Both are normal work for us, they just get priced very differently.

Yes, and it is the reason a lot of people ring us rather than two separate outfits. Roofing and driveways are both done by the same team, so the scaffold, the skips and the muck away are organised once instead of twice, and there is one number to ring if anything needs sorting. On a house in Lewes needing both, doing them together is normally cheaper and always quicker than booking them apart.

Lewes is around 7 miles from Brighton, so getting out to measure and quote is quick. When we can actually start depends on the diary and, for roofing, on the weather, which is normally a few weeks out. We would rather give you a real date than a hopeful one, so ring and we will tell you where the next honest slot is.
