Most repair calls start with one of a handful of symptoms. If you recognise yours below, a targeted repair - not a re-roof - is usually the right answer.
When it is not the answer: If more than roughly a third of the covering is failing - widespread slipped tiles, crumbling nail fixings across the slope - repairing tile-by-tile is money wasted and replacement becomes better value. Our repair-or-replace guide walks the decision honestly. Read the full guide.
Billingshurst is a market town with a genuinely mixed housing stock. The High Street and the lanes off it include buildings with considerable age — some with clay peg tile roofs that have been maintained but never fully replaced, presenting tile matching and mortar specification challenges. Away from the centre, the post-war and 1960s–80s growth estates south and west of the town are built with concrete interlocking tiles, many of which are now showing the signs of age common to this era.
The town sits on relatively low ground with the River Arun watershed not far to the south, and the surrounding agricultural landscape means autumn and winter weather moves through with less shelter than towns on higher ground. This makes Billingshurst roofs more exposed to driving rain and wind than the surrounding area might suggest, and leads to faster mortar degradation on exposed chimney stacks.
Chimney mortar failure on exposed period properties along and off the High Street is one of the most frequent calls we receive from Billingshurst. On the post-war and 1960s estates, concrete tile nail sickness is emerging as the main repair driver. Lead flashing failures at dormer windows are also common — the town has a significant number of loft-converted properties where the dormer flashings were not installed to the highest standard.
We get eyes on the roof - ladder or drone - trace the actual fault, and photograph it so you can see exactly what we see.
Fixed price for the repair, access included, in writing. No call-out fee, no survey charge, no obligation.
Most repairs book within days; urgent leaks get temporary weatherproofing the same day if needed.
Matching materials fitted to BS 5534 fixing standards - refixed, re-bedded or replaced as the fault demands.
Debris cleared, gutters checked, photos of the finished repair, guarantee paperwork handed over.
| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Slipped or cracked tile refix | 1-2 hours |
| Ridge or hip re-bed (per run) | Half to full day |
| Valley re-line | 1-2 days |
| Flashing renewal around a chimney | Half to full day |
| Storm-damage make-safe | Same day |
Wet or high-wind days pause work at height - we build weather margin into every booking and tell you if a date moves.
Most repairs run from roof ladders or a tower - scaffold only enters the quote where the job needs safe standing time. Scaffold is specified for: chimney-side work, full valley rebuilds, or anything keeping us at height beyond a day - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
The A29 High Street frontages need traffic-managed scaffold licences from the county highways team via the district council, and parking suspensions book up fast; estate roads off Newbridge Road are straightforward driveway jobs. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Horsham District Council; allow a few working days on streets like High Street, East Street where space is tight.

No deposit on repairs under £500 - you pay when the job is done. Larger works staged, and never a penny before materials are on site.
Covering RH14 and surrounding postcodes.
Workmanship on the repaired section is covered for 10 years in writing; replacement tiles and materials carry their manufacturer warranties on top.
If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
A repair is typically a day or less of ladder or tower work with a small amount of tile debris - we sheet below the work area and sweep before we leave. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Repairs run year-round; if rain stops play mid-job the opened area is sheeted and watertight before we leave, every time. Low Weald clay holds moisture, so gutters and valleys silt quickly under the mature oaks that line the older plots.
"Period cottage off the High Street — the chimney stack had been poorly repointed years ago with the wrong mortar and was spalling badly. They stripped and repointed with lime mix and it looks excellent."
"Had about 15 concrete tiles slip on our 1970s semi during the winter storms. They replaced all of them and a further eight that were cracked but hadn't moved yet. Good catch."
"Dormer flashing on our loft conversion had been dripping for a year. Clear explanation of what had failed, transparent quote, clean job. Sorted in an afternoon."

Billingshurst's historic High Street has conservation area protections. Properties in the conservation zone may need clay tile or natural slate for roof replacements. We advise on planning requirements as part of our free survey.
West Sussex's Low Weald position creates persistent damp conditions through autumn and winter that accelerate moss growth, lead corrosion and organic decay compared to drier UK regions. We specify and maintain with this in mind on every job.
West Sussex has more housing diversity per square mile than most English counties — Georgian, Victorian, 1930s, post-war and modern builds all within short distances. Each era requires different materials and techniques to maintain correctly.
Horsham district has multiple conservation areas with specific material requirements. Getting the specification wrong on a conservation area property can mean enforcement action. We confirm planning requirements before quoting on all period properties.
Towns at the foot of the South Downs experience significantly higher wind loading than sheltered Weald towns. We adjust fixing specifications for exposure zone as standard, using mechanical fixings in addition to mortar beds on exposed ridges.
The roofing trade has a higher rate of cowboy operators than most building trades, partly because the work is difficult for homeowners to inspect and partly because the consequences of poor workmanship often only become apparent months or years later. These are the checks that matter when selecting a roofer in West Sussex.
The National Federation of Roofing Contractors maintains an online register of active members. Any contractor claiming NFRC membership should be verifiable on the NFRC website with a current membership number. NFRC membership requires proof of competence, valid insurance and adherence to a code of professional practice. We are registered members and our details are on the NFRC register. We provide our membership number on request.
Any legitimate roofing contractor should be able to provide a copy of their public liability insurance certificate on request. The certificate should name the contractor, confirm the level of cover — £2 million minimum, £5 million preferred — and show an expiry date that covers the duration of your project. We carry £5 million public liability insurance and can provide documentation before any survey visit.
A written quote specifying materials, scope, programme and price is the single most important protection a homeowner has when commissioning roofing work. Verbal quotes give you no recourse if the work delivered differs from what was discussed. All our quotes are written, itemised, and fixed in price. Where the scope needs to change — for example if we find deteriorated felt once tiles are stripped — we notify you in writing and agree the additional cost before proceeding. We do not present a bill that is materially higher than the accepted written quote.
Google reviews are a genuine signal but need to be read with care. Look for reviews that describe a specific job type and a specific outcome — not just "great service" or "would recommend". Reviews that mention specific locations within a town, specific problems encountered and how they were resolved, and specific materials used are more credible than generic praise. Our reviews include specific references to Roffey, Broadbridge Heath and other Horsham neighbourhoods, specific job types and specific resolution of the problem that prompted the call.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Just an honest quote from a local Billingshurst roofer who turns up when they say they will.
