AboutServicesRoof replacementA full re-roof priced as one fixed figure before we lift a tile, carried out by the same three-man team from strip-out to final clear-up, and guaranteed for 25 years on workmanship. You get a dry, finished roof and a price that does not move.Flat roofingThree-layer torch-on felt systems fitted by roofers who lay them week in, week out, with the falls, upstands and detailing that decide whether a flat roof drains or ponds. Fixed price agreed first, hot-works insured, 25-year workmanship guarantee.Roof repairsFrom a single slipped tile to a leak nobody else has found, we diagnose the cause instead of sealing the symptom, then fix it for a fixed price agreed before we start. Contactable 24 hours a day when it can't wait.Lead workThe junctions are where roofs leak, and lead is what stops them. Code-appropriate flashings, valleys, chimney lead and lead flat roofs, cut in and dressed on site, not sealed over with mastic. Fixed price agreed first.Chimney workStacks take more weather than any other part of the roof and get looked at least. We repair, repoint, re-flaunch and re-lead them, or take them down and make good, for one fixed price agreed before we start.RepointingRidges, verges, stacks and brickwork raked out and pointed in the right mortar, not skimmed over the top. It's the cheapest work on the roof and the work that prevents the most expensive damage.GutteringOverflowing, sagging or split guttering puts water down the elevation instead of into the drain, and stained brickwork is the cheapest thing it damages. Replacement, repairs and downpipes at a fixed price agreed first.Fascias &amp; soffitsThe roofline is where the roof, the gutter and the wall all meet, and where rot, wasps and wind-driven rain all get in when it fails. Renewed properly, with ventilation designed in, at a fixed price agreed first.Roof surveysA roofer's verdict in writing on what the roof is actually doing: what has failed, what is about to, and what it will realistically cost. A paid service, separate from our free quotes, so the report answers to you and nothing else.Small building workThe brickwork, making good and general building jobs that sit alongside a roof, handled by the same team, on the same scaffold, under the same fixed price. No second trade to chase, no gap between who does what.

Local coverage

## Roofing across Brighton, from Kemptown to Preston Park
Brighton is dense, hilly and overwhelmingly Victorian, and its roofs reflect that. Terraces in Kemptown, Hanover, Preston Park, Fiveways and the North Laine sit shoulder to shoulder with shared stacks, back-addition valleys and rear extensions that have been re-covered several times over.

Add the exposure: the city faces the Channel across a rising slope, so wind funnels up the streets rather than being broken by anything, and you get roofs that lose ridge tiles, verges and slates far more readily than sheltered inland stock.

We cover Brighton as part of our West Sussex and Brighton patch. Quotes anywhere in the city are free, and we are contactable 24 hours a day for leaks that cannot wait, with a call-out fee applying to emergency and out-of-hours work after 5pm.

### Property types we work on in Brighton

- Victorian terracesHanover, Kemptown, Preston Park and Fiveways: natural slate, shared chimney stacks, back-addition valleys and bay roofs, most now relying on original or once-replaced fixings.

- Converted flats and HMOsA large share of the city's terraces are split into flats or let rooms, where a roof defect affects several households and a written fixed price makes splitting the cost straightforward.

- Interwar and post-war housingPatcham, Hollingbury, Moulsecoomb and Woodingdean bring conventional tiled roofs, many on perished underlay and due for re-covering.

- Rear extensions and dormersLoft conversions and kitchen extensions across the city, adding flat areas, dormer cheeks and new abutments to roofs that were never designed with them.

What we're called out for

## The jobs that come up most in Brighton

### Leak diagnosis
Tracing water back to where it actually enters, valleys, flashings, stacks or ventilation, instead of replacing the nearest tile and hoping.

### Slate repairs and re-slating
Replacing slipped and delaminated slates, and re-covering roofs where nail failure has spread across the slope.

### Chimney and lead work
Repointing, re-flaunching and re-leading tall shared stacks, which cause more damp in Brighton terraces than anything else.

### Flat roofing to extensions
Three-layer torch-on felt on rear extensions, dormers and bays, with falls corrected so water reaches the outlet.

Why us

## Why Brighton customers use us
Most Brighton call-outs start as 'there's a damp patch and nobody can find it'. Water travels along battens and rafters before it drops, so we work back from where it appears, covering, flashings, valleys, stack and the loft side, and fix the actual entry point.

We're a three-man team run by Bailey, a third-generation roofer professionally in the trade for ten years. Fixed prices in writing before we start, no day rates, £2 million public liability, membership of the Confederation of Roofers Association, and 25 years of workmanship guarantee.

### Fixed prices, agreed first
One written figure for the whole job before we start. We never work on day rates, so the price you accept is the price you pay.

### 25-year workmanship guarantee
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 25 years, excluding storm damage, third-party damage and material failure.

### £2m public liability
£2 million public liability insurance, on domestic and commercial jobs alike.

### The same three people
A small team run by Bailey, a third-generation roofer with ten years professionally in the trade. Nothing is subbed out.

### Contactable 24 hours
We answer out of hours for leaks that can't wait. A call-out fee applies to emergency and out-of-hours work after 5pm.

### Free quotes, no pressure
Quote visits cost nothing. Only a formal written roof survey report is charged as a separate service.

Local conditions

## What goes wrong on Brighton roofs
Terraced, exposed and mostly nineteenth-century, Brighton's housing produces a distinct set of roofing failures, and a lot of leaks that appear a long way from where the water gets in.

### Wind funnelled up the streets
The city rises from the seafront, so gales accelerate up the hills rather than dispersing. Ridge tiles, verges and loose slates come off in numbers on exposed elevations.

### Nail sickness in Victorian slate
Original fixings corrode long before the slate wears out. Slates slip in ones and twos for years, then in handfuls, the point at which patching stops being sensible.

### Back-addition valleys
Terraces with rear additions have valleys collecting water from two slopes into one channel. A defect there produces a lot of water very quickly, and often into a neighbour's property as well as your own.

### Shared stacks over party walls
Tall stacks exposed on all sides, frequently unmaintained because responsibility is split. Failed flaunching and pointing put water into both houses at once.

### Loft conversions and condensation
Converted lofts seal off the ventilation path a roof relies on. The result looks exactly like a leak, wet timbers, damp insulation, but it's condensation, and it needs a different fix.

Straight answers

## Brighton roofing questions

Do you cover all of Brighton?Yes: Kemptown, Hanover, Preston Park, Fiveways, North Laine, Patcham, Hollingbury, Moulsecoomb, Woodingdean and the rest of the city, alongside Hove and the wider West Sussex area.

How quickly can you reach Brighton?Brighton is part of our regular patch and easy to get to. We're contactable 24 hours a day and treat active leaks as a priority, with a call-out fee for out-of-hours work after 5pm.

How much do roof repairs cost in Brighton?It depends on the defect and the access, a slipped slate reachable from a ladder is very different from a valley or shared stack needing scaffold. We quote after looking, as one fixed written figure.

Can you find a leak nobody else has?That's a large part of what we do here. Brighton terraces move water a long way before it shows, so we trace it back through the covering, flashings, valleys, stack and loft rather than guessing.

My roof is shared with next door, how does that work?Common on terraces and shared stacks. We quote the whole job in writing so costs can be split clearly between owners, and we're happy to explain the work to both parties.

Do you work on flats and HMOs?Yes. Converted terraces and let properties are a big part of Brighton, and a fixed written price makes it much easier for landlords, agents and freeholders to agree the work.

Is parking or access a problem in narrow streets?It's a normal part of working here. We factor access, parking and any scaffold into the quote up front rather than raising it as an extra cost later.

Do you do emergency roof repairs in Brighton?We're contactable 24 hours a day. Getting the building watertight comes first, with the permanent repair once conditions allow. A call-out fee applies after 5pm.

My loft conversion is damp but the roof looks fine, why?Usually ventilation. Converting a loft blocks the eaves-to-ridge airflow, so moist air condenses on the cold underside of the roof. It's fixable, but not by replacing tiles.

Are you insured and guaranteed?£2 million public liability, membership of the Confederation of Roofers Association, and 25 years on our workmanship. Storm damage, third-party damage and material failure are excluded.
