Roof Replacement Lancing

The Re-Roofing Process in Lancing

Survey and Quote

Every Lancing re-roof starts with a full written survey covering the tile and slate condition, batten and felt integrity, rafter and ridge beam inspection, and lead work status. You receive an itemised quote covering all elements before we begin — no additions at completion unless unforeseen structural issues are found and agreed before proceeding.

Material Choice

For North Lancing Victorian and Edwardian properties, we source Welsh blue or blue-grey slate to match the original colour, profile and riven texture. Re-roofing a Victorian terrace in a matching Welsh slate maintains the streetscene and protects the property's character. For the South Lancing 1950s estate stock, we replace concrete tile with modern clay interlocking rated for coastal exposure — clay significantly outperforms concrete in lifespan and salt air resistance.

What the Job Involves

Scaffolding is erected the day before work begins. Strip day: all existing tile, batten and felt are removed and bagged. We relay breathable membrane on the same day so the roof is never left open overnight. Battening and tiling follow over the next two to four days depending on property size. Ridge, hip and lead work are completed before scaffolding comes down. Site is left clean and tidy — all debris removed before we leave.
