Clarke Roofing delivers expert solutions for all roofing needs, including slating, tiling, flat roofs, and metal lightweight systems. Our ISO-certified team uses premium materials and heritage-approved techniques for domestic, commercial, and listed buildings. With over 75 years of experience, we ensure durability, compliance, and minimal disruption, backed by a 10-year guarantee.
Heritage Restoration
Specialising in Grade I/II listed buildings, we restore historic roofs using traditional methods and materials. Our NFRC heritage-approved slaters and LCA-accredited leadworkers ensure compliance with conservation standards. Projects include churches, stately homes, and landmarks like Chartwell, combining craftsmanship with modern regulatory adherence.
Construction
As main contractors, we manage multi-trade projects including brickwork, carpentry, and barn conversions. Our SMSTS-qualified site managers coordinate complex developments, from new builds to renovations, ensuring quality control and adherence to safety standards across Sussex, Surrey, and beyond.
Green Roofs
We install sustainable green roof systems featuring waterproofing, drainage, and vegetation layers. These solutions enhance insulation, manage rainwater, and support biodiversity while meeting modern environmental standards. Ideal for both new builds and retrofit projects in urban and rural settings.
Aerial Surveys
Using UAV technology, we conduct detailed roof surveys for accurate assessments and planning. This non-invasive method ensures safety, reduces costs, and provides high-resolution data for heritage, commercial, and domestic properties, aiding in precise project execution.
