From a single broken tile to a complex flashing failure, we carry out roof repairs across Shoreham-by-Sea and West Sussex to a standard that lasts. Free survey, honest diagnosis, written quote before any work starts.
Moisture retention from the Adur valley accelerates felt underlay decay — flat roofs and older pitched roofs both affected. We carry out free roof-level surveys across Shoreham-by-Sea and give you an honest written assessment of what needs doing and why.
Moisture retention from the Adur valley accelerates felt underlay decay — flat roofs and older pitched roofs both affected. Adur flooding events cause storm debris to block valleys. Salt exposure on seafront properties. Moss growth significantly faster than equivalent inland properties at the same altitude. These are the problems we see most often on Shoreham-by-Sea 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.
River Adur creates elevated ground-level humidity across the town — higher than neighbouring Hove despite similar coastal position. We specify materials appropriate to Shoreham-by-Sea'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.”
