FAQs
Tile Re-Roofing in Horley: FAQs
Do you provide tile re-roofing across all of Horley?
Yes, we cover the RH6 postcode area in full, including Massetts, Lonsdale, Smallfield, Horley Row, Westvale Park.
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.
Does living near Gatwick Airport affect planning permission in Horley?
Some development types near the airport are subject to safeguarding consultation with the airport operator as part of the planning process. This does not apply to all projects, and we advise on the specific position for your address.
