We've been fixing roofs across Brighton and the East Sussex coast since 2004. Here's what sets us apart.
Salt air, Channel gales and coastal humidity create problems inland roofers don't see. We've spent 20 years learning exactly how Brighton's roofs behave.
No call-out fees, no hidden extras. Full written quote before we lift a tile. Realistic pricing you can compare against other quotes.
All roofing work carries a written 10-year workmanship guarantee. We stand behind every job, regardless of size.
Conservation area constraints, clay plain tile sourcing, lime mortar repointing on Regency stock — we know Brighton's older buildings.
Based in Brighton, we cover the whole of East Sussex and coastal West Sussex. Call us if you're unsure — we'll confirm coverage before you commit to anything.
"Storm took six tiles off the west-facing slope overnight. Called at 7am and they were here by 11. Roof made safe same day, permanent repair done the following morning. Brilliant in a crisis."
"Our Victorian terrace in Elm Grove needed a full re-roof. They matched the original clay plain tiles perfectly and were considerate of the neighbours throughout the week's work. Highly recommend."
"Persistent chimney leak on our Kemp Town property had defeated two previous roofers. These guys identified the lead apron failure immediately and fixed it properly. No return visits needed — it's been dry ever since."
Brighton's roofing stock spans four centuries. The Regency terraces of Kemp Town and Brunswick have shallow-pitched roofs with Welsh slate and lime mortar detailing that requires specialist knowledge to repair correctly. The dense Victorian terraces of Hanover, Elm Grove and the London Road corridor are predominantly clay plain tile, now in their third or fourth set of tiles, with chimney stacks on every property. The post-war and 1960s–70s estates of Hollingbury, Moulsecoomb and Bevendean use concrete interlocking tile — much of it now reaching end of design life after 50+ years of coastal exposure.
Brighton's coastal position creates roofing conditions that are genuinely different from inland areas. Salt-laden air corrodes lead flashings significantly faster than in Surrey or Hampshire — we typically see lead failure in Brighton 30–40% sooner than equivalent inland properties. Channel gales from the south-west generate wind pressures that lift tiles on west-facing slopes that would stay put ten miles inland. North-facing slopes accumulate moss and algae year-round due to the coastal humidity.
The three calls we receive most often in Brighton: salt corrosion of lead flashings around chimney stacks on Victorian terraces, wind uplift on west-facing slopes across Kemp Town and Preston Park, and flat roof failures on rear kitchen extensions — common on Victorian through-terraces throughout Hanover and the Level area. Conservation area constraints in Kemp Town and Brunswick Town require like-for-like material matching, which we source and supply.
