FAQs
Tile Re-Roofing in Dorking: FAQs
Do you provide tile re-roofing across all of Dorking?
Yes, we cover the RH4 and RH5 postcode areas in full, including Westcott, Milton Heath, Pixham, Ranmore, North Holmwood, Betchworth.
Should I choose concrete or clay tile for my re-roof?
Concrete tile is the more economical, widely available option and suits most properties; clay tile costs more but gives a different colour and texture often chosen to match older or higher-status buildings. We advise on the right choice for your property and budget during survey.
How long does a tile re-roof last?
A well-installed concrete or clay tile roof typically lasts 40-60 years or more, though underlay, battens and flashings usually need attention before the tiles themselves do. We flag realistic lifespans for each component at survey stage.
Can barns near Dorking be converted to residential use?
It depends on the specific planning history and policy for the building, including whether Class Q permitted development rights apply. This is assessed individually for each building.
