Roofers in Reigate - 15 Years Experience
Reigate's Trusted Roofing Contractor — 15 Years Experience, Every Job Guaranteed
Reigate is one of Surrey's most desirable towns — a historic market town nestled at the foot of the North Downs with a housing stock that reflects centuries of development. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis that line the streets of Reigate town centre and the surrounding residential areas are some of the most characterful in Surrey, and their roofs — original natural slate on many of the older properties, clay and concrete tiles on the inter-war and post-war stock — require a roofer with genuine experience and material knowledge to maintain and repair correctly.
The town sits directly on the Surrey greensand ridge, with the chalk of the North Downs rising immediately to the north. The elevation means Reigate properties on the higher ground — particularly around Reigate Hill and Wray Common — are exposed to the prevailing south-westerly weather more directly than properties in the valley. Wind damage, driving rain, and the sustained freeze-thaw cycling of a Surrey winter affect Reigate's older roofing stock significantly, and the town sees a consistent volume of roofing repair work as a result.

For like-for-like repairs using matching materials, conservation area designation generally doesn't require consent. Changing materials significantly — replacing natural slate with concrete tiles on a period property in a conservation area — may need consent from Reigate & Banstead Borough Council. We assess this as part of our initial inspection and advise before any work starts.
Nail sickness on Victorian slate roofs in the town centre and surrounding streets, ridge and chimney mortar failure on period properties, and flat roof deterioration on post-war extension and garage roofs. We deal with all of these regularly across the RH2 postcode.
Never. Our own qualified, insured team handles every job from start to finish. This is how we maintain the quality our guarantee is built on.
We'll always recommend the most cost-effective solution for your situation. If a targeted repair will give your roof another decade of life, that's what we'll recommend. We only advise a full replacement when the ongoing repair cost genuinely outweighs the investment.

Reigate Roofing — Understanding This Town's Properties
Reigate's housing stock is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian construction — the terraces and semis built during the town's rapid expansion following the arrival of the railway in 1849 are now 120 to 150 years old, and their roofs present the full range of challenges that come with that age of construction. Natural Welsh slate is the predominant material on the older properties, with lime mortar used in all original ridge, chimney, and flashing details. Both the slate fixings and the lime mortar have a finite lifespan — and on properties this age, nail sickness and mortar failure are consistent issues that we assess and address regularly in Reigate.
The town has a designated conservation area covering much of the historic centre and several surrounding residential streets — meaning material choices on roof repairs and replacements on affected properties need to be appropriate for the building's age and character. Natural or reclaimed slate is the correct choice on these properties, and fitting modern concrete or fibre cement as a replacement on a conservation area Victorian terrace can create planning complications. We assess planning status as part of every quote on Reigate's period properties and advise accordingly.
The inter-war and post-war housing across Bell Street, Lesbourne Road, and the residential streets south of the town centre presents different challenges — predominantly clay and concrete tiled roofs with mortar-bedded ridges that have weathered progressively. These properties are at the age where dry ridge and dry verge upgrades represent genuine long-term value.
The affluent areas around Wray Common and Reigate Hill — large detached properties, many with significant roof areas, ornate chimney stacks, and original lead valleys — are where the premium end of Reigate's roofing work sits. These properties need a roofer with the experience and the materials knowledge to handle complex roof geometry and heritage details correctly. We've worked on them for 15 years.
