📞 Call Now: 0140 358 1272The roofing profile in Crawley is shaped by large-scale post-war new town development — 1950s–80s estates form the majority of the housing stock, with significant concrete interlocking tile roofing. Nail sickness is widespread across Crawley's post-war estates, particularly in the older development areas around Gossops Green, Langley Green and Northgate. Concrete tile stock from the 1950s–70s is now 50–70 years old, well into the nail failure zone. Flat roofs on the new town's many maisonettes and community buildings are also a recurring maintenance issue. The local climate — Crawley's slightly elevated position on the Low Weald, combined with proximity to Gatwick airport's microclimate, creates a relatively exposed weather environment compared to more sheltered West Sussex towns — also plays a significant role in how quickly roofing elements deteriorate and which repairs we see most frequently.
The most frequent repair and replacement calls we receive from properties on The Boulevard, Langley Green, Gossops Green and Northgate reflect the dominant housing stock. We carry materials matched to the most common Crawley tile profiles on every van and have good knowledge of the specific failure patterns on properties of each era.
We carry out free surveys in Crawley with no call-out fee and provide written, itemised, fixed-price quotes before starting any work. All roofing work in Crawley carries a written 10-year workmanship guarantee. We are NFRC registered and carry £5 million public liability insurance.

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.
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.
New Town neighbourhood stock is uniform post-war concrete tile with driveway access; the old High Street and Ifield village frontages need Crawley Borough Council footway licences. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Crawley Borough Council; allow a few working days on streets like High Street, Ifield Road where space is tight.

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. Uniform 1950s-60s estates mean whole streets hit nail-sickness age together - if your neighbours are re-roofing, a survey is worth it.

"Full re-roof on a 3-bed semi. Competitive quote, professional team, excellent finish. Would use again."
