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.
The High Street’s timber-framed and stone frontages are conservation-grade - scaffold via Mid Sussex District Council with conditions; the 1960s-80s estates off London Road are simple access. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Mid Sussex District Council; allow a few working days on streets like High Street, London Road where space is tight.

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. High Weald elevation gives East Grinstead more frost cycling than the low towns - spalled tiles and cracked flaunching show it.
