Towns & boroughs we cover in Sussex

Seaside towns from Worthing round to Eastbourne

Brighton, Hove, Worthing and Eastbourne all face the Channel, and their roofs take wind and rain straight off the water. Salt carried inland settles on nails, clips and lead, so the fixings tend to tire before the tiles themselves do. Much of this coastline was built as Regency and Victorian resorts, which means slate, parapets and tall stacks are common.

  • Ridge, hip and verge fixings checked for corrosion
  • Lead around chimneys and parapets inspected for lifting
  • Slate repairs on older seafront and town-centre houses
  • uPVC roofline that will not need repainting in salty air

Crawley and the commuter towns further north

Crawley, Horsham, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and East Grinstead sit closest to London, and a good share of their housing dates from after the war. Concrete interlocking tiles, mortar ridges and felt-roofed garages are the usual picture, many of them now on their original covering. This northern side of the county is also the easiest part of Sussex for us to reach from London.

  • Re-roofs on estate houses whose first tiles are worn
  • Dry ridge and dry verge to replace cracked mortar
  • Felt flat roofs on garages, porches and extensions
  • Underfelt and batten repairs on post-war roofs

Weald and South Downs villages

Between the Downs and the High Weald, older cottages and farmhouses use handmade clay tiles, tile-hung upper walls and, in places, flint. Some still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and many sit inside conservation areas or are listed. These roofs reward patience: sorting and reusing old tiles is often better than replacing them, and we will say plainly if a job needs a heritage specialist.

  • Clay peg tiles lifted, sorted and relaid where sound
  • Hanging tiles on walls refixed alongside roof repairs
  • Chimney repointing and new lead on older stacks
  • Checks with the district council on listed status first

Common questions

Do you have an office or yard in Sussex?

No. We are a London roofing firm and Sussex is a newer part of the area we cover, so our team travels down for each job. Towns near the M23, such as Crawley, are the quickest for us to reach, and we will be upfront about timing when you get in touch.

Why would I ask a London roofer to quote on my Sussex home?

A second opinion is useful whoever you end up choosing. You get a free, no-obligation quote, a clear written price, photos of what we find and honest advice on whether a repair will do. Compare that with any local quotes and pick whichever suits you.

Can you work on an old Horsham stone roof?

Horsham stone is heavy sandstone laid in diminishing courses, and it is a specialist heritage material. We are happy to look and talk you through what we see, but if the roof needs a stone specialist rather than a general roofer, we will tell you so instead of taking the job on.

What should I send to start a quote for a roof in East or West Sussex?

Your postcode, a short description of the problem and any photos you can take safely from the ground or a window. Email them or call 07450 208032 between 8am and 6pm, Monday to Saturday. We usually reply to enquiries the same day and then arrange a visit.
