A complete re-roof gives you the opportunity to address the roof as a system: coverings, battens, underlay, junctions and ventilation. Landmark Roofing Solutions undertakes complete re-roofs for your property, with the decision to replace based on the roof’s condition rather than the assumption that every leak needs a new roof. Removing the covering also reveals areas that cannot be fully assessed from outside. Timber condition, old repairs and defects around valleys or chimneys can change the work required. That is why the scope needs to distinguish visible findings from concealed risks. Re-roofing should leave you with a clearer understanding of the building, including any necessary structural assessment, rather than simply hiding old problems beneath fresh materials. Landmark Roofing Solutions is a family-run business owned by Robbie Giles, with a four-person team. Customers praise detailed explanations, regular or daily updates, clean and tidy sites, dates given and kept, and competitive quotes. The aim is straightforward: understand what the roof needs, explain the proposed work clearly and discuss the next steps for your roof, rather than asking you to choose a covering without understanding the construction beneath it. Contact Robbie to confirm availability at your property. New slate and tiled roofs carry a 25-year warranty, and the business holds full public liability and employers’ liability insurance. Call Robbie on 07832 878937 to discuss your property. The phone is always answered, including at night and at weekends, with 24/7 emergency availability if an existing roof problem needs urgent attention. ### Check your town Sussex Roofers in Crawley, Roofers in East Grinstead, Roofers in Horsham, Roofers in Haywards Heath, Roofers in Burgess Hill, Roofers in Brighton, Roofers in Worthing, Roofers in Shoreham, Roofers in Hove, Roofers in Peacehaven, Roofers in Seaford, Roofers in Eastbourne Surrey Roofers in Redhill, Roofers in Reigate, Roofers in Horley, Roofers in Oxted, Roofers in Caterham Kent Roofers in Tunbridge Wells, Roofers in Tonbridge, Roofers in Sevenoaks, Roofers in Maidstone, Roofers in Edenbridge Check roofing availability by town →Contact Robbie to confirm availability at your property. Why it can’t wait ## Problems the right roof specification should prevent A dependable pitched roof is a complete assembly, not just a neat outer covering. The inspection needs to consider how water drains, how the roof resists wind and how moisture escapes from the roof space. These are the issues to address before agreeing the work. ### Leaks returning in different places A roof with several deteriorating components may continue leaking after isolated repairs. Inspection should establish whether defects are localised or whether the covering and supporting layers are approaching widespread failure. ### Failed battens or deteriorated underlay Sound-looking tiles do not prove the layers beneath are serviceable. Deteriorated battens can compromise fixings, while damaged underlay can leave the roof less resilient when wind-driven rain passes beneath the covering. ### Coverings slipping across the roof Repeated movement can point to fixing deterioration, batten problems or unsuitable past installation. Replacing a few visible pieces may not address the reason other areas are becoming insecure. ### Hidden decay around long-term leaks Water entering near a chimney, valley or eaves can damage timber over time. Once exposed, affected areas need assessment so the new roof is supported by suitable construction rather than compromised material. ### Old insulation and ventilation conflicts Previous alterations may have blocked airflow or left uneven insulation. A re-roof is an opportunity to review the arrangement and applicable thermal requirements before new layers make the same defects harder to reach. ### Common mistakes we see - Choosing complete replacement without first distinguishing repairable local damage from widespread roof failure. - Comparing quotes that include different amounts of stripping, batten replacement, flashing work or insulation provision. - Assuming concealed roof timbers are sound and making no allowance for explaining defects discovered during stripping. - Replacing the covering while leaving known ventilation problems, failing valleys or inappropriate old junction details unresolved. Our process ## How the job runs, step by step - 01 ### Inspection, understand the roof and access The inspection considers the spread of defects, previous repairs, visible roof-space condition and whether repair or complete replacement is the more appropriate scope. Robbie also considers access for scaffolding, nearby buildings, material handling and any occupied rooms below. Tell him about previous leaks, planned loft alterations and anything already known about the roof structure. These details help establish a practical scope rather than a quote based only on roof area. - 02 ### Diagnosis, agree the specification The proposed re-roof identifies what will be stripped, which layers and junctions need renewal, and where concealed timber condition cannot yet be confirmed. The proposal should distinguish the planned work from anything that can only be confirmed once coverings are lifted. Ask Robbie how assessment and quoting will be arranged. Material selection, ventilation, junction details and any relevant Building Regulations requirements need to be considered together, so an apparently small omission does not become a separate problem later. - 03 ### Execution, install in a controlled sequence Existing coverings are removed in a planned sequence, exposed components are assessed and the agreed replacement layers are installed with suitable protection during the work. The sequence needs to allow for safe access, suitable weather and protection of exposed areas. Where concealed defects become visible, their effect on the agreed work should be explained before a change is agreed. Customers value regular updates because they make progress and any necessary decisions easier to follow. - 04 ### Testing/verification, check the complete assembly Checks cover the renewed battens and covering, repaired junctions, rainwater discharge and the ventilation arrangement, together with any agreed thermal upgrades. Verification is not simply a check that the finished roof looks straight. It includes the routes by which rain leaves the roof and air moves through the specified ventilation arrangement. Any inspection needed for Building Regulations approval should be coordinated at the appropriate stage, not left until everything is concealed. - 05 ### Completion + warranty, understand the finished roof At completion, review the agreed work, the roof junctions and the condition of the working area. Discuss sensible maintenance, including keeping rainwater outlets clear and arranging checks after significant storm damage. New slate and tiled roofs carry a 25-year warranty. Ask Robbie to explain the applicable warranty terms and documentation, and keep those details with the agreed scope and any relevant approval records. What you get ## The benefits of doing it properly ### Speed through better preparation An agreed covering, access plan and sequence reduce avoidable decisions once the roof is open. That helps work progress efficiently without promising a fixed turnaround before the roof size, complexity, weather exposure and condition are understood. ### Safety planned into the work Scaffolding, edge protection and controlled material handling are part of planning roof work, not optional extras to improvise later. Discussing access early also helps protect entrances and occupied areas while work takes place above them. ### Longevity beyond the visible covering Suitable battens, underlay, fixings and ventilation support the life of the whole roof. Correctly detailed valleys, eaves and flashings help prevent local weaknesses from undermining an otherwise durable slate or tiled covering. ### Cost savings from the right scope Comparing complete specifications helps avoid paying for an attractive covering while leaving failing junctions underneath. Where sound components can reasonably remain, inspection should identify them; unnecessary replacement is not the same as a thorough roofing job. ### Reliability at vulnerable junctions Chimneys, rooflights, abutments and changes in roof slope need deliberate detailing. Getting these interfaces right reduces the risk of recurring leaks that are difficult to trace because water can travel before becoming visible indoors. ### Peace of mind with clear information Clear scope, understandable updates and a 25-year warranty on new slate and tiled roofs give you a clearer basis for decisions. Landmark Roofing Solutions also holds full public liability and employers’ liability insurance. In detail ## What matters when specifying complete re-roofs The best-looking option is not automatically the right technical choice. Roof pitch, exposure, structural capacity and the way the building is used all influence the specification. Understanding these details makes it easier to compare proposals on substance rather than appearance alone. ### Replacing like for like or changing the covering A re-roof can retain the existing material style or introduce a different covering, subject to suitability and any relevant restrictions. A change from slate to tile, or between tile types, may alter the load substantially. Pitch compatibility, wind exposure and the building’s appearance also matter. The replacement should be checked against the roof’s construction rather than selected solely because it resembles a neighbouring property. Some existing slates or tiles may be suitable for reuse, but that depends on their condition and the intended specification. Reclaimed coverings can have variable dimensions and remaining service life. New battens, underlay and fixings still need to be appropriate for the assembly. Discuss whether reuse is technically sensible and how it affects the scope and applicable warranty rather than assuming every salvaged piece should return to the roof. ### Underlay, battens and ventilation work together Slates and tiles shed most rainfall, while the underlay provides a secondary line of protection beneath them. Underlay laps, support and drainage at the eaves must suit the roof design. Battens provide the fixing positions for the covering, so their grade, spacing and support matter. A covering installed over unsuitable battens or poorly arranged underlay can conceal problems rather than solve them. A breathable membrane does not automatically remove the need for ventilation. The arrangement depends on the roof construction, insulation position, membrane specification and moisture conditions inside the building. Cold roof spaces and insulated roof slopes need different consideration. Blocking the eaves with insulation, or adding ridge ventilation without a suitable overall strategy, can leave moisture trapped where it causes condensation and timber deterioration. ### Stripping back without overlooking the building below Complete re-roofing involves a period when the existing covering is removed, so the sequence and weather protection are important. The workable approach depends on roof size, shape, access and conditions. Large areas should not be exposed casually on the assumption that the forecast cannot change. Properties with multiple slopes may allow a staged approach, but the details need to suit the individual building. Stripping can reveal timber decay, inadequate supports or old alterations that were not visible during the initial inspection. Those findings should be explained and any necessary additional work agreed. A roofer’s inspection does not replace structural engineering where structural adequacy is uncertain. Keeping that distinction clear helps ensure the new covering is installed on a roof capable of supporting it safely. ### Junctions, rainwater and approvals Water concentrates at valleys and changes direction around chimneys, rooflights and adjoining walls. These locations need compatible flashings, adequate overlaps and unobstructed drainage. Lead flashing must accommodate movement and be detailed for its location; simply adding sealant over a failed junction is not equivalent to rebuilding it correctly. Eaves details must direct water into the gutter rather than behind the fascia or onto vulnerable timber. Building Regulations approval is normally required for substantial re-roofing, and thermal upgrades may need consideration where applicable. Planning permission is a separate question: listed buildings, conservation areas and some alterations can have additional restrictions. Establish the relevant route before work starts. Structural changes or a materially different covering load may also require professional assessment rather than an assumption that the existing roof can accommodate them. ### Occupied homes and commercial premises On an occupied home, roof work needs to account for people moving through entrances, items stored in the loft and rooms directly beneath the work. Dust and disturbance cannot always be eliminated, but discussing likely effects helps you prepare. Extensions, porches and adjoining roofs also need attention because the main roof must connect to them without creating awkward drainage or maintenance problems. Commercial premises may have different access constraints, shared boundaries or activities that cannot simply stop during roofing work. The appropriate sequence depends on the building, not just the covering selected. Explain opening hours, sensitive internal areas and any restrictions on scaffolding or deliveries before the scope is agreed. A realistic plan should also account for weather interruptions rather than treating the proposed programme as an unconditional completion guarantee. ### Related services - New Pitched Roofs - Slate Roofing - Tiled Roofing - Roof Repairs ### Need it looked at? 07832 878937Phone answered 24/7. FAQs ## Complete Re-Roofs: your questions answered ### How much does complete re-roofs work cost? The price depends on roof size, condition and materials. Access, roof shape, insulation requirements and the condition of junctions can also affect the scope. Ask Robbie about quote arrangements and what the proposed work would cover. When comparing quotes, check whether scaffolding, battens, underlay, ventilation, flashings and disposal are included rather than comparing only the headline description. ### How long will the work take? The timeline depends on the roof area, complexity, access, weather and any concealed defects found during the work. A simple roof and a roof with several valleys, chimneys and rooflights need different programmes. Discuss the likely sequence and dates with Robbie after inspection. Customers praise dates given and kept, but weather-sensitive roofing still needs sensible allowance for conditions that make work unsafe or unsuitable. ### What happens before installation starts? Contact Robbie to discuss what you need from the roof and ask how assessment and quoting will be arranged. Before work begins, clarify the chosen material, access arrangements, ventilation approach, treatment of junctions and any approval requirements. It is also worth agreeing how unexpected findings will be explained, especially where existing coverings hide the condition of timber or other components. ### What warranty comes with the roof? Landmark Roofing Solutions provides a 25-year warranty on new slate and tiled roofs. Ask Robbie to explain the applicable terms and the documentation for your installation. This is different from the five-year warranty available on qualifying repairs, where terms depend on the extent of the repair. Keep the warranty information alongside the agreed specification so the work covered is clear. ### How long should the roof covering last? A complete re-roof’s service life depends on its covering and the condition of the supporting construction. Durable materials still need compatible fixings, sound junctions and maintenance. Reusing older coverings introduces different considerations from installing an entirely new covering. Robbie can explain the proposed specification, while the 25-year warranty on new slate and tiled roofs remains separate from a general lifespan estimate. ### Can I call if the existing roof starts leaking urgently? Yes. Call 07832 878937: the phone is always answered 24/7, and emergency assistance is available. Explain whether water is near electrical fittings, whether any materials have fallen and which areas are affected. Stay off the roof and keep clear of unstable materials. Emergency availability does not mean a full replacement can be undertaken immediately; safe access, weather and the necessary scope still need assessment. ### Which local areas do you cover? Call Robbie on 07832 878937 with your town or postcode to confirm availability at your property. The town list on this website is for enquiries, not confirmed coverage. ### Will the work need Building Regulations approval? Substantial re-roofing normally requires Building Regulations approval, and relevant thermal performance requirements may apply. A new roof forming part of an extension or new building must also fit the wider approved construction. Planning requirements are separate, particularly for listed buildings or properties with local restrictions. Confirm the approval arrangements before starting rather than assuming that using a similar-looking covering removes every requirement. ### Should insulation and ventilation be considered together? Yes. Adding insulation changes how heat and moisture move through the roof. The position of insulation, continuity of any vapour control layer and ventilation provision all need to suit the construction. A breathable underlay alone is not a universal solution. Discuss existing condensation, bathroom extraction and plans to use the loft, because a storage loft and an occupied roof space can require different approaches. ### Can the house stay occupied during the work? That depends on the scope, the building’s condition and how safe access and protection can be maintained. Many roofing projects can be planned around occupation, but this should not be assumed where structural defects or extensive internal work are involved. Tell Robbie about children, pets, shared entrances and any rooms that cannot be used. Discuss expected disruption and protection before agreeing the programme.
