From a single broken tile to a complex flashing failure, we carry out roof repairs across Peacehaven and East Sussex to a standard that lasts. Free survey, honest diagnosis, written quote before any work starts.
Concrete tile at 80-100 years old is the dominant problem — carbonation means tiles crumble at the edges and nibs. We carry out free roof-level surveys across Peacehaven and give you an honest written assessment of what needs doing and why.
Concrete tile at 80-100 years old is the dominant problem — carbonation means tiles crumble at the edges and nibs. Nail sickness is near-universal. The combination of mechanical tile failure and failed fixings means many Peacehaven roofs are effectively being held together only by ridge and hip mortar. Ridge mortar failure is widespread on the exposed cliff top. These are the problems we see most often on Peacehaven 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.
Cliff-top grid town with no natural shelter from south or south-west. We specify materials appropriate to Peacehaven'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.”
Grid-pattern inter-war planned town from the 1920s. Uniform semi-detached and detached properties with concrete tile now 70-100 years old. Concrete interlocking tile at 80-100 years old showing widespread carbonation and nail sickness. The combination of both failure modes simultaneously is unique to this era of stock..
Cliff-top grid town with no natural shelter. Grid street layout creates wind tunnelling. Maximum Channel exposure on south-facing slopes..
Concrete tile at 80-100 years old is beyond the design life of the material. Carbonation means tiles crumble at the edges. Many Peacehaven roofs are held together only by ridge and hip mortar..
Pricing note: For Peacehaven properties built before 1950, re-roofing is almost always more cost-effective than repair over any 10-year horizon..
