Roofing
Roof repairs, replacements and emergency roofing support.
From a slipped tile or active leak to a complete roof replacement, LJB provides practical roofing help across Eastbourne and East Sussex.
Overview
Roofing from a trusted local building team.
Roofing problems need timely attention and plain advice. LJB can inspect visible defects, explain the likely work required and provide a clear quotation for the agreed repair, maintenance or replacement scope.
The team handles small roof repairs, leak investigation, storm and emergency remedial work, planned maintenance and larger reroofing projects. Slate, tile, flat roofing, leadwork, chimneys, gutters, ridges and vulnerable roof junctions can all be considered as part of the visit.
Where a roof is difficult to view safely from ground level, LJB can also discuss aerial imagery to record condition and help identify areas that need closer inspection. Any urgent temporary work and the longer-term repair can then be separated clearly in the quotation.
For replacement roofs, the team considers the condition of the covering, battens, membrane, timbers, insulation and associated details rather than treating the visible surface in isolation. The result is a practical specification suited to the property and the intended lifespan of the work.
