With over 20 years of hands-on experience and more than 1,000 verified customer reviews, we are a trusted name in roofing throughout the South East.
Our team has completed roof replacements on a wide range of properties throughout Brighton, from Regency-era homes along the seafront and in Kemp Town to Edwardian terraces in Preston Park, Hove, and Portslade. We understand the unique demands of the coastal climate, including salt-laden air, high winds off the English Channel, and driving rain, and we specify roofing systems designed to withstand these conditions for decades.
Whether you need a complete re-roof, are addressing persistent leak issues, or want to upgrade your roof as part of a wider renovation project, we provide clear advice, thorough surveys, and workmanship that stands up to the toughest conditions.

Built with Authority and Compliance in Mind
Under UK Building Regulations, most roof replacements, especially those involving structural changes or altering insulation or ventilation, require approval from a building control body from the local council, but don't worry, we handle this all for you. We work with building control and Brighton & Hove City Council to ensure full compliance.
Re-roofing that replaces more than 25% of the total building envelope (or more than 50% of the roof) typically triggers the need for building regulation approval, especially if materials or structural elements change.
