From a single tile replacement to lead valley and flashing repairs, we diagnose and fix roofing problems correctly. Free survey, written quote, matched materials. No call-out fee.
Every roof repair starts with accurate diagnosis. The visible symptom — a ceiling damp patch, a slipped tile — frequently points to a defect in a different location. We inspect from close range before quoting, ensuring the work we recommend addresses the actual cause rather than the symptom.
The visible symptom and the actual defect are often in different locations. A damp patch on a bedroom ceiling may be a flashing failure 3 metres away with water tracking along a rafter. A chimney breast damp patch is almost always a flashing failure, not pointing, even when the pointing looks open. We diagnose from close range before quoting.
Getting the material specification right is as important as the repair itself. A concrete tile patch on a Victorian clay plain tile terrace is immediately visible and architecturally wrong. We carry matched clay plain tiles and source reclaimed stock for conservation area properties. For Welsh slate, we source natural slate in the appropriate quality and profile.
We do not recommend replacement when repairs are the right answer. The replacement conversation starts when isolated failures become a pattern — when the annual repair bill approaches £1,000, when nail sickness affects more than one pitch, or when the felt underlay has deteriorated. We give you the honest numbers and let you decide.

The most common repair calls across the Chichester area follow predictable patterns by district and housing era. Victorian clay tile properties in the inner city and surrounding villages generate chimney lead failures, ridge mortar failure and the occasional nail-sick Welsh slate. Post-war concrete tile estates in the outer suburbs generate nail sickness tile loss and ridge mortar failure. 1930s semis generate ridge bedding issues and the first signs of flat roof failure on rear extensions. We know these patterns and arrive at surveys with the right diagnostic expectations and materials for each property type.

Every roof repair starts with a close-range inspection, not a ground-level assessment. We use a ladder to access each elevation and inspect tile condition, nail corrosion, ridge mortar, lead flashings and valley linings directly. The symptoms you see inside — a damp patch, a ceiling stain — are frequently caused by a defect in a different location. Water entering through a failed valley appears on the ceiling below the adjacent tiles. A chimney breast damp patch is almost always a flashing failure, not the pointing. We tell you what is actually causing the problem and quote to fix that, not what is most convenient to address from a ladder without close inspection.
After the inspection we provide a written quote itemising: the specific defect, the proposed repair method, the materials required (with specification), access requirements, and the total cost including any scaffold. We do not give verbal quotes. A verbal quote has no meaning at the invoice stage if the job proves more complex than expected. Our written quotes are fixed — if we find additional deterioration during the work, we stop, photograph it, call you, and agree how to proceed before continuing. No additions to the invoice without your prior approval.

Scaffold, where needed, is always included as a line item in the quote so the total is visible before you commit.
