Professional Eave Refurbishment for Homes Across Brighton & Hove

Your roof’s eaves play a crucial role in protecting your property from water damage, rot and internal leaks — yet they are often overlooked until problems become severe.
A quick look from ground level may reveal early signs of deterioration at the roofline, including slipped tiles, sagging felt, cracked underlay or visible decay.
These issues won’t fix themselves. They gradually worsen and can lead to costly structural damage if ignored.

At BrightonRoofers, we provide expert eave refurbishment and eave protector installation across Brighton, Hove, Shoreham, Worthing, Peacehaven, Rottingdean and East/West Sussex.

Our repairs restore strength, waterproofing and longevity to the most vulnerable part of your roof.

What Does Eave Refurbishment Involve?

A professional eave refurbishment typically includes:

1. Removal of Existing Eave Tiles

We carefully strip back damaged or worn tiles around the roofline to expose the underlying structure.

2. Installation of New Felt & Underlay

Old felt often rots, tears or becomes brittle. We replace it with modern breathable roofing membrane.

3. Replacement of Rotten Battens

Timber battens often suffer from nail sickness, rot or moisture damage. We replace them to restore structural integrity.

4. Installation of Eave Protectors

Eave protectors (also called eaves trays) provide long-term support to the felt and ensure that water flows correctly into the gutter system, preventing leaks and under-tile pooling.

5. Reinstallation of Roof Tiles

Once the eaves are fully refurbished, we reinstate your existing tiles or replace damaged ones.

The result is a watertight, reinforced roof edge designed to last for decades with minimal maintenance.

What are eave protectors?

Eave protectors (eaves trays) are rigid, waterproof components installed beneath the tiles at the roof edge. They support the roofing membrane and channel water safely into the gutters, preventing leaks and felt decay.

Why do eaves deteriorate?

Eaves are exposed to the harshest conditions—rain, UV damage, wind uplift and constant moisture. Over time, felt rots, nails corrode, and battens weaken, leading to leaks and structural problems.

Can eave protectors stop leaks?

Yes. Eave protectors prevent water from entering under the roof tiles and stop rainwater flowing behind the gutter. They are one of the most effective ways to eliminate leaks at the roof edge.

Do you need to replace all the tiles during eave refurbishment?

No. In most cases, the existing tiles can be reused. Only damaged or broken tiles need replacing.

How long does eave refurbishment take?

Most eave refurbishment jobs take a few hours to a single day, depending on the length of the roof and the level of underlying damage.

Is eave refurbishment expensive?

Costs vary depending on roof size and damage, but refurbishing your eaves is far cheaper than repairing internal damp, rot or structural issues caused by continued leaks.

Are eave protectors suitable for older roofs?

Yes. Eave protectors can be retrofitted to almost any pitched roof, making them ideal for older homes with deteriorating felt and mortar.

What happens if eave damage is ignored?

Ignoring eave deterioration can lead to: Leaks Timber rot Damaged insulation Structural issues Pest infestations Increased repair costs Early repair saves money and protects your home.

Do you offer free roof inspections?

Yes. BrightonRoofers provides free, no-obligation roofline inspections and quotes across Brighton, Hove and Sussex.
