"Had the concrete tiles on our Portfield semi replaced after a surveyor flagged nail sickness. The team turned up on time, worked tidily and finished the job two days ahead of schedule. Excellent work."
"A ridge tile came down in the January storm and water started getting into the loft. Called in the evening and they were with us first thing next morning. Fixed fast and for a fair price."
"We're in a listed cottage in Fishbourne and needed a specialist who understood lime mortar chimney work. These guys knew exactly what was required and dealt with the conservation officer query without any fuss."
Chichester presents a roofing challenge you don't find inland. The city sits on the coastal plain between the South Downs and Chichester Harbour, and every roof here faces persistent salt-laden air from the south-west, strong Solent gales in winter, and the kind of harbour humidity that accelerates moss and algae growth on north-facing pitches.
The housing stock spans almost every era. Georgian and Regency townhouses line East, West, North and South Streets. Victorian terraces run through St Pancras and off Whyke Road. The 1930s semis of Summersdale sit comfortably mid-city, while the post-war Portfield and Donnington estates to the east — with their large concrete interlocking tile roofs — now have stock reaching the end of design life.
Nail sickness on 1960s concrete tile roofs in Portfield is a recurring call-out for us — the galvanised nails corrode and tiles begin sliding before any other sign of damage appears. Lead flashing failure around chimneys on Victorian stock in St Pancras is accelerated by salt air. Conservation area properties in the Cathedral Close require lime mortar for any repointing and matching clay plain tiles — Portland cement causes spalling on historic masonry and is not permitted.
Beyond the core services, we cover every specialist roofing requirement across Chichester and West Sussex.
We cover every district of Chichester. Each neighbourhood has its own housing stock and roofing challenges — we know them all.
Chichester is not a generic town. Its roofing stock ranges from 12th-century ecclesiastical buildings to 1970s concrete tile estates, with Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and post-war residential in between. Each era has its own failure modes, its own material requirements and its own planning constraints. A company without genuine local knowledge will treat a clay plain tile Victorian terrace the same as a post-war semi in Portfield — which is exactly wrong. We have carried out regular work across every district of Chichester for over 20 years. That means we know that St Pancras ridge bedding needs lime mortar, that Portfield roofs need nail sickness assessment, and that anything near the Cathedral Close needs conservation officer awareness before work starts. This knowledge is not in a manual. It comes from doing the work here every week.
Every autumn, the heavy tree canopy across Priory Park, the Cathedral Close and the residential streets of Summersdale and Stockbridge fills gutters and valleys. Every winter, the south-westerly gales off the Solent test ridge bedding and mechanical fixings across the coastal plain. Every spring, we survey roofs on Victorian terraces where the mortar on the ridge tiles has softened another millimetre through another cycle of frost and thaw. These are the patterns we know. We see the same properties, the same failure modes and the same consequences every year. When you call us, you are not getting a generic roofer who has driven up from somewhere else. You are getting the team that has been managing these specific problems in this specific city for two decades.

📞 01243 278085Clay plain tiles dominate the pre-war housing stock across St Pancras, Whyke, the city centre and the surrounding villages. Welsh slate appears on some Victorian properties in the same areas. Concrete interlocking tile covers the post-war estates in Portfield, Donnington and Tangmere. 1930s semi-detached housing in Summersdale and Stockbridge typically has clay plain tiles that are still broadly sound. The coastal villages — Fishbourne, Bosham, Selsey, East Wittering — add the dimension of salt-air exposure that accelerates every deterioration process. Whatever your property is made of, we work with it correctly. That means matched reclaimed clay tiles for Victorian terraces, lime mortar for period chimneys, mechanically fixed concrete interlocking for coastal re-roofing, and GRP or EPDM for flat roof sections throughout the area.
You call — or submit the contact form — and we book a survey visit at a time that suits you. We attend the property, inspect the roof thoroughly from close range where access allows, and assess the condition of all visible elements: tiles, ridge, flashings, valleys, gutters, fascia and chimney. We tell you what we find in plain English — what is fine, what needs attention now, and what can wait. We provide a written itemised quote before any work is committed to. There is no call-out fee for the survey, no obligation to proceed, and no pressure to agree work that is not genuinely needed. We have been doing this for over 20 years and our reputation in Chichester depends on giving honest advice. If your roof only needs a minor repair, we tell you that. If it needs replacing, we tell you that too.
After two decades of working in Chichester, most of our new work comes through recommendation. A homeowner in Whyke whose ridge we re-bedded three years ago recommends us to their neighbour whose chimney is leaking. A property manager in the city centre who uses us for their portfolio introduces us to a residential landlord in Bognor Regis. We do not spend money on lead generation because we do not need to — the quality of the work speaks for itself through the people who live in the properties we have worked on. We back every job with a written 10-year workmanship guarantee, hold £5m public liability insurance, and are registered with the NFRC. These are not selling points we invented — they are the baseline standard that every homeowner in Chichester should expect from their roofer.
