The original building of Old Polegate Station was previously the town’s only train station before closing in 1984 and being converted to a public house in 2004. The pub was heavily damaged by fire 6 years ago and shortly after suffered further storm damage to the large flat roof (which had been temporarily repaired over many years).
The building was finally deemed unsafe and plans were granted to demolish it.
In its place, plans were submitted to construct a 3.5 storey building with 22 flats, associated parking and retail space on the ground floor.
The application was met with fierce opposition from local resistant’s and historians, therefore, it was imperative that the design of the new building had a heritage appearance to appease the residents and council.
A lightweight DANOSA single-ply roofing system with an Alpha profile finish was proposed by Invictus Roofing to give the building a heritage zinc effect and strike a perfect balance between modern architecture and maintaining the town’s heritage values.
"As I sit listening to the rain hammering away at our roof I’m so grateful to know it’s all repaired & unlike three weeks ago we won’t be seeing a small waterfall in our home.
I cannot recommend Invictus Roofing highly enough, from start to finish of this job they were fabulous. A professional, knowledgeable on site team who are respectful & helpful at all times, offering calm solutions & reassurance to problems as well as being tidy & mindful of noise. (We had neighbours commenting on how courteous they were) All backed up with an efficient, helpful Office team who deal with & respond to queries quickly."

“Over the Summer 2017 holidays we had a large part of our flat roof replaced. Invictus Roofing worked cleanly without disruption to the school. Any issues raised were resolved promptly. We would use Invictus Roofing again”

“We have just had a major roof replacement at our School carried out by Invictus Roofing. As it was carried out in term-time, we were very impressed with the contractor and the way the work was carried out. We also had SAT’s exams week during the contract, and the team was very accommodating by changing their shift pattern to suit the school. All works were carried out to a very high quality, with all areas left clean and safe for the duration of the works. We would highly recommend Invictus Roofing and would have no hesitation in using them again.”
"We cannot recommend this company highly enough. If you need to repair or replace a flat roof then this is the company to use.
Invictus was recommended to us by a seasoned building professional after we had received a bewildering array of quotes from other contractors.
Right from the start Invictus were a pleasure to deal with. Prompt, price competitive, with exceptional customer service. The work was carried out to a very high standard and the site left clean and tidy. Scaffolding was removed promptly."
