Ridge mortar failure from frost cycling. We carry out free roof-level surveys across Hollingbury and give you an honest written assessment of what needs doing and why. 1950s-70s estate housing, concrete interlocking tile 50-70 years old
Ridge mortar failure from frost cycling, nail sickness on 1960s-70s stock, elevated wind exposure These are the problems we see most often on Hollingbury properties — and the ones we know how to fix properly for local conditions.
Every repair quote starts with a physical roof-level inspection — not just a look from the ground. We photograph what we find, explain the cause, and give you a written quote that specifies materials, method and guarantee period. No surprises on the day.
Elevated 80-100m. We specify materials appropriate to Hollingbury's specific conditions — not the cheapest option that will need repeating in five years.

“Two slipped tiles causing a leak on my Victorian terrace. Surveyed the same day I called, repaired the next morning, and they found two other potential issues I wasn't aware of. Straightforward and honest.”
“Ridge mortar had failed across most of the back slope. Quoted fairly, completed on time and the ridge looks brand new. Good communication throughout.”
“Lead valley had been failing for years before I called. Previous roofer had patched it twice. These guys replaced the whole valley properly and I haven't had a drop since.”
Brighton neighbourhood with 1950s-70s estate housing. The dominant roofing maintenance issue in Hollingbury: frost-accelerated ridge mortar failure and nail sickness at 80-100m elevation.
Hollingbury's elevated position means more frost days and greater temperature cycling than coastal Brighton. Ridge mortar fails faster here than at sea level. Properties that needed ridge work 15 years ago on the seafront need it now at Hollingbury.
Every job follows the same clear process — no surprises, no hidden costs, full communication throughout.
We inspect from roof level — not just binoculars from the ground. We photograph all defects and assess batten, felt and lead condition as well as the visible tile work.
You receive a written report of findings, prioritised by urgency, with a clear written quote specifying materials, method and guarantee period.
We source matching materials for your property type — including clay plain tile and Welsh slate for conservation area properties. We advise on colour and profile matching.
