📞 Call Now: 0140 358 1272The dominant roofing challenge in Crawley is shaped by large-scale post-war new town development — 1950s–80s estates form the majority of the housing stock, with significant concrete interlocking tile roofing. Nail sickness is widespread across Crawley's post-war estates, particularly in the older development areas around Gossops Green, Langley Green and Northgate. Concrete tile stock from the 1950s–70s is now 50–70 years old, well into the nail failure zone. Flat roofs on the new town's many maisonettes and community buildings are also a recurring maintenance issue. The local climate — Crawley's slightly elevated position on the Low Weald, combined with proximity to Gatwick airport's microclimate, creates a relatively exposed weather environment compared to more sheltered West Sussex towns — affects how quickly roofing elements deteriorate.
We carry out free surveys across Crawley with no call-out fee. Written, itemised, fixed-price quote before any work starts. Typical cost: £5,500–£13,000.

A re-roof is a big decision, and it is not always the right one. These are the signs the covering - not just a patch of it - is at end of life.
When it is not the answer: If the covering is fundamentally sound and the problem is one valley, one flashing or one patch of slipped tiles, a repair at a tenth of the cost is the honest answer - do not let anyone sell you a roof you do not need. Read the full guide.
The housing stock in Crawley is predominantly 1950s–80s new town development with large concrete interlocking tile estates. Nail sickness on post-war estates in Gossops Green, Langley Green and Northgate where 50–70 year old concrete tiles have corroding steel fixings. The local climate — Relatively exposed Low Weald position with Gatwick microclimate increasing precipitation — directly affects how quickly roofing elements deteriorate and how we approach specification.

Winter re-roofs run fine - the roof is never left open overnight - but hard rain or high wind pauses stripping, so winter programmes carry an extra margin day or two.
Every re-roof is scaffolded - it is a legal working-at-height requirement for sustained work, and it is itemised in the quote. Scaffold is specified for: every full replacement, without exception - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
New Town neighbourhood stock is uniform post-war concrete tile with driveway access; the old High Street and Ifield village frontages need Crawley Borough Council footway licences. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Crawley Borough Council; allow a few working days on streets like High Street, Ifield Road where space is tight.

Staged payments across the job - typically on scaffold-up, mid-point and completion. Nothing up front before materials are on site. VAT itemised on every invoice.

The full 10-year workmanship guarantee covers the entire new roof system; tile and membrane manufacturers add their own warranties - typically 15 years to lifetime on the covering itself.
If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
Expect scaffold up for one to two weeks, a skip on the drive or a licensed bay, and two to four days of the noisiest work during strip and re-batten - we warn neighbours on terraces before we start. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
We strip only what we can felt the same day, so the house is watertight every night regardless of forecast. Uniform 1950s-60s estates mean whole streets hit nail-sickness age together - if your neighbours are re-roofing, a survey is worth it.

West Sussex's Low Weald and coastal climate creates specific roofing challenges that differ from drier UK regions — accelerated moss growth, faster lead corrosion rates, and wind loading that varies significantly between sheltered Weald towns and exposed coastal or elevated locations like Crawley. We adjust our specifications for each location rather than applying a generic national standard.
NFRC registered and fully insured, we cover Crawley, Horsham, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, East Grinstead and all of West Sussex for all roofing services including 24/7 emergency call-outs.
