Roofers in Lewes for the clay-tiled and slate roofs of the old town and the newer homes around it, in Kingston, Ringmer and beyond. Ring 01273 110909 or send the form for a free quote from William.
Lewes is one of the oldest towns in Sussex, and its roofs show every century. The High Street, Cliffe and Southover carry steep clay-tiled roofs, slate on Georgian and Victorian houses, catslides, tile-hung walls and big chimney stacks. Much of the centre is a conservation area.
Old roofs need roofers who repair rather than replace. Clay tiles are matched with reclaimed tiles of the same size and colour, slates are refixed with tingles, and lead to chimneys and valleys is renewed in the traditional way.
Out of the centre, Kingston, Ringmer and the estates around Nevill and Landport are 20th-century homes in concrete tile, with the same slipping tiles, failing ridges and flat-roofed extensions as anywhere else.
Lewes is about 8 miles east of our Brighton base along the A27, and the whole town sits inside the South Downs National Park. We cover the High Street, Cliffe, Southover and the estates at Nevill and Landport, plus Kingston, Ringmer and the villages around.
Below the castle, roofs are steep clay tile, slate and catslides on old timbers. Repairs here mean matched reclaimed tiles, slates refixed with tingles and lead renewed on chimneys and valleys, not modern shortcuts. See our roof repairs page for how we trace a leak.
Outside the old town, Nevill, Landport and Ringmer are 20th-century homes in concrete tile. A new roof there is a standard strip and re-roof with dry ridge and dry verge. Our new roof cost guide lists 2026 budgets.
