No pressure, no surprises. Call 01243 278085.
Good roofing is not just the work on the roof — it is the whole experience around it: the honesty of the survey, the clarity of the quote, the tidiness of the site, and the guarantee that stands behind it. This is how we run every job in Chichester, whether it is a single slipped tile or a full re-roof.
You call 01243 278085 or book a callback. We ask a few questions about the roof and the problem, and arrange a free survey at a time that suits you — often within a few days, same-day for genuine emergencies.
A local Chichester roofer visits and inspects the roof at close range — or by drone on tall and complex properties. On our stock that means checking for nail sickness on the post-war estates, lead condition on the Victorian terraces, and the coastal-specific wear the harbour villages see. We diagnose the actual problem, not just the obvious symptom.
You receive a written, itemised quote — materials, scope, scaffold as a separate line, guarantee terms and total price. No call-out fee, no obligation. Everything is transparent before you decide.
Once you approve the quote, we book the work at a time that suits you, with realistic weather margin built in. We confirm the day before and let you know what to expect.
If scaffold is needed it goes up first, with a pavement licence arranged through Chichester District Council where the job is on a permit-controlled street. We protect planting and agree parking before work begins.
We carry out the work in materials matched and correct for the property — lime mortar on period stock, Code 4 lead, matched tiles or slate. We board any open roof section overnight so the property stays dry throughout.
We clear all debris and waste, remove the skip and scaffold, and leave the site tidy. A clean finish is part of the job.
We carry out a final inspection with you, answer any questions, and hand over the written 10-year workmanship guarantee. If you ever need us back under it, we come without quibble.
To make it concrete, here is how a recent job ran. A homeowner on College Road in Summersdale called about a damp patch on a bedroom ceiling. We surveyed the following week and traced it — not to the ceiling below, but to a cracked lead soaker at the junction of the 1930s bay roof, three metres away, where water was tracking along a batten before dropping.
The written quote covered the lead renewal and two slipped tiles found during the survey, with tower access itemised separately — no scaffold needed for a job of that scale. The homeowner approved it, we booked it for the following week, and the work took half a day. We renewed the soaker in Code 4 lead correctly dressed, refixed the tiles, cleared the small amount of debris, and handed over the written guarantee. Total cost around £340, no call-out fee, no deposit. The damp patch dried out and has not returned.
That is a typical Chichester job: an accurate diagnosis, an honest quote, correct materials, a tidy finish, and a guarantee behind it. The scale changes — from that half-day repair to a two-week re-roof — but the process does not.
Consumers are advised to obtain a written, itemised quotation and to verify a contractor’s trade-body membership and insurance before agreeing to any roofing work.

"They diagnosed the real cause of our leak that two others had missed, quoted fairly, and cleaned up perfectly. The whole process was easy."
"From the first call to the guarantee handover it was professional and honest. No deposit demanded, no surprises on the bill. Recommend."
Yes. The survey visit and written itemised quote are free with no obligation across all Chichester postcodes. There is no call-out fee. You only pay for the work itself, once you have approved the quote in writing.
Always. Every job is quoted in writing, itemising the materials, scope, scaffold (as a separate line) and total price. A verbal quote has no standing at the invoice stage, so we put everything in writing before any work begins.
No deposit on smaller jobs and repairs. On larger re-roofs, payment is staged — nothing up front before materials are on site, a progress stage, and the balance on completion and inspection. We never ask you to pay in full before the work is done.
We confirm the day before, arrive when agreed, protect the area below the work, and if scaffold is needed it goes up first. We keep the site controlled and tidy throughout, and board any open roof section overnight so your property stays protected.
Yes, always. We clear all debris and waste, leave the site tidy, and carry out a final inspection with you before handing over the written guarantee. A clean finish is part of the job, not an optional extra.
A written 10-year workmanship guarantee, transferable if you sell, plus manufacturer warranties on materials. If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right at no charge.
Call 01243 278085 or book a callback and we’ll arrange a free survey at a time that suits you. A local Chichester roofer will look at the roof, diagnose the issue, and follow up with a written quote.
A local Chichester roofer, an honest quote, and a written guarantee. No call-out fee, no pressure.
01243 278085 ✉ Email UsChichester’s roofs are not interchangeable. A Georgian property in the Cathedral Close needs conservation-correct clay and lime mortar; a post-war Portfield semi needs matched concrete interlocking tiles; a Victorian St Pancras terrace needs natural slate and Code 4 lead. We source materials to match what is already on your roof, because a mismatched repair looks wrong, can breach conservation rules, and often fails faster than the original. Getting the materials right is not an added extra — it is the difference between a repair that lasts and one that does not.
Most roof failures we are called to fix are not the roof wearing out — they are previous shortcuts failing. Mastic smeared over a lead joint instead of the lead being renewed. A ridge bedded on the wrong mortar. A valley patched instead of relined. We do the detail properly the first time: lead dressed and correctly lapped, mortar mixed for the substrate, fixings to BS 5534. It costs a little more on the day and saves you paying twice.
Working at height is the most dangerous part of roofing, and we do not cut corners on it. Scaffold where scaffold is needed, edge protection on every re-roof, and no compromise to shave a quote. A roofer who works unsafely to be cheap is a roofer whose insurance and standards you should question — and it is exactly the corner-cutting that our written, itemised quotes are designed to avoid.
A guarantee is only worth the firm standing behind it. Ours is written, dated, and honoured — if covered work develops a fault, we come back and put it right without argument or re-charge. We are an established local Chichester business, not a here-today-gone-tomorrow trader, which is what makes a 10-year guarantee meaningful rather than a marketing line.
