Roofing in Lewes โ€” FAQs

Re-roofing a typical terraced or semi in Lewes costs around ยฃ5,000 to ยฃ9,000, and a larger detached house ยฃ9,000 to ยฃ15,000, including scaffolding. The roof size, tile type and whether the timbers or felt need replacing set the price.
A like-for-like re-roof in Lewes is normally permitted development and needs no application. Planning permission may be required in a conservation area, on a listed building, or if you change the roof shape or add dormers.
A standard re-roof in Lewes usually takes 5 to 10 working days, weather permitting, including putting scaffolding up and taking it down. Flat roof replacements are often quicker.
A proper Lewes roofing quote should include scaffolding, which is required for safe access and typically adds ยฃ800 to ยฃ1,500. Always check it is itemised so you are comparing like for like.
Reputable Lewes roofers offer a workmanship guarantee of 10 to 25 years, separate from the tile or membrane manufacturer warranty. Get the guarantee in writing along with the VAT invoice.
