Roofers in Lewes for the clay tile and slate roofs of the High Street, the Cliffe and Southover, and the post-war homes of Landport and the Nevill. Ring 01273 110448 for a free written quote.
Lewes is the county town, and almost all of its centre is a conservation area. The High Street, the Cliffe and Southover have timber-framed houses behind Georgian fronts, flint walls, clay peg and plain tile roofs, and the black-glazed mathematical tiles the town is known for on the walls. Malling, the Nevill and Landport are newer, with Victorian terraces and post-war semis.
Period clay tile roofs need a lighter hand: tiles matched by size, colour and camber, hand-cut hips and valleys, lead soakers rather than modern shortcuts, and timbers that are not straight treated as part of the building rather than a fault.
Lewes sits in the Ouse valley under the downs, and the roofs facing the river take driving rain. Lead valleys, parapet gutters and chimney flashings are where we find most leaks in the old town.
Lewes is about 7 miles from our Brighton base, over the downs on the A27. We work in the old town, the Cliffe, Southover and Malling, and out to the Nevill, Landport, Kingston and Iford.
In the old town, roof repairs are mostly lead: valleys, parapet gutters and chimney flashings. On Victorian terraces it is slipped slates. On Landport and the Nevill it is felt, tiles and ridges. Our chimney and lead page covers the lead work.
Clay peg and plain tile roofs are repaired with matched tiles. Victorian slate roofs get slate roofing with new lead. Post-war semis get a new roof with dry fix ridges and a 25-year guarantee.
