Why Choose Us For New Roofs & Re-Roofing In Brighton & Burgess Hill?
Full Strip & Re-Cover
The old covering, underlay and battens come off so we can inspect and renew everything underneath - not just lay over the top.
New Breathable Underlay
A modern breathable membrane replaces old felt, keeping the roof watertight while letting the structure breathe.
Timbers Checked & Repaired
With the roof open we check the rafters and battens, and replace any that have rotted before re-covering.
All-New Flashings & Ridges
Fresh lead flashings, dry-fix ridges and verges mean the weak points of the old roof are gone for good.
Better Insulation
Re-roofing is the ideal moment to upgrade loft or roof insulation and cut your heating bills.
Adds Value & Reassurance
A new roof reassures buyers and surveyors and takes roof worries off your plate for decades.

What To Look For In A New Roofs & Re-Roofing Specialist
A Full Strip, Not An Overlay
A proper re-roof means stripping the old covering right off so the underlay, battens and timbers can be renewed and inspected. Be wary of anyone offering to lay a new covering straight over the old one - it hides problems and rarely lasts. Ask exactly what's coming off and what's going back on.
Scaffolding & Safety
A full re-roof needs proper scaffolding, not ladders, and a way to keep the house watertight if the weather turns mid-job. A serious roofer plans access, protection and the sequence of work so your home stays safe and dry throughout.
A Clear, Itemised Quote
A re-roof is a significant spend, so the quote should spell out the covering, underlay, battens, flashings, insulation, scaffolding and waste removal - not just a single figure. That's how you compare like for like and avoid surprises halfway through.
Re-Roofing Once vs Endless Repairs
| N Fullers Roofing | Repeated Repairs | |
|---|---|---|
| Underlay & battens | All renewed | Old, failing layer stays |
| Timbers | Inspected and repaired | Hidden problems left |
| Watertightness | Sound for decades | Next leak never far away |
| Insulation | Upgraded at the same time | No improvement |
| Long-term cost | One planned investment | Money drip-fed into patches |
New Roof, New Guttering
A re-roof is the perfect time to renew tired guttering, fascias and soffits so the whole roofline is sound and smart. We fit uPVC fascias, soffits and guttering as part of the job.

A full re-roof depends heavily on size, the covering, the pitch and access. As a rough guide across Brighton and Burgess Hill, a terraced house roof might run from around £5,000 to £8,000, and a larger semi or detached roof from around £7,000 to £14,000+, including scaffolding and waste removal. Every quote is free, itemised and based on a proper survey.

How do I know if I need a re-roof or just repairs?
If the covering is largely sound and the issue is localised, repairs are the right call. If slates or tiles are widely slipping, the underlay has perished, or you're getting leaks in several places, a re-roof usually works out better value than repeated repairs. We'll give you an honest assessment after a proper look, not a sales pitch.
How long does a re-roof take?
A typical terraced or semi roof takes around a few days to a week or so, depending on size, the weather and whether any timbers need replacing. We plan the work to keep your home watertight throughout and give you a realistic timeframe with the quote.
Will you replace the roof timbers too?
With the roof stripped we inspect the rafters and battens and replace any that have rotted or split. Battens are almost always renewed as standard; the rafters usually only need attention where there's been long-term water damage, which we'll show you and price clearly.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof?
A like-for-like re-roof is normally permitted development and doesn't need planning permission. Listed buildings and some conservation areas - common in central Brighton and Lewes - can need consent, particularly if the material or roof line changes. We'll flag anything relevant and you can confirm with your local council.
Can you improve the insulation while re-roofing?
Yes, and we'd recommend it. Re-roofing is the ideal time to upgrade insulation, which makes the home warmer and can reduce heating bills. We'll talk through the options for your roof as part of the quote.
Is a new roof guaranteed?
Yes. Our re-roofs come with a written workmanship guarantee, and the materials - tiles, slates, membranes - carry their own manufacturer's warranties. We'll go through exactly what's covered and for how long before any work starts.

What Sussex Homeowners Say
Real feedback from customers across Brighton, Burgess Hill and Sussex. Star ratings reflect completed roofing work.
"We had a leak coming through the bedroom ceiling of our Victorian terrace in Hove. N Fullers traced it to a cracked lead flashing round the chimney - not where the stain was - and had it sorted properly within a couple of days. Tidy, honest and a fair price."
"The old felt roof on our extension in Burgess Hill was leaking every time it rained. They fitted a new EPDM rubber roof with proper falls so no more pooling. Great job, cleaned up after themselves and explained everything clearly."
"Full re-roof on our 1930s semi in Worthing - stripped it back, new underlay, battens and tiles, all new flashings. The scaffolding went up and the whole job was done in under a week. Looks superb and the quote was itemised with no surprises."
"Our roof in Haywards Heath was green with moss and the gutters kept blocking. They cleared the lot, treated the roof and cleared the gutters, and spotted a slipped tile while they were up there. Really pleased with the difference."
"Chimney on our Lewes cottage was crumbling and letting damp in. N Fullers repointed it, renewed the flaunching and put proper lead flashings in. They understood it's a period property and did it sympathetically. Highly recommend."
