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.
The High Street’s timber-framed and stone frontages are conservation-grade - scaffold via Mid Sussex District Council with conditions; the 1960s-80s estates off London Road are simple access. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Mid Sussex District Council; allow a few working days on streets like High Street, London Road where space is tight.

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. High Weald elevation gives East Grinstead more frost cycling than the low towns - spalled tiles and cracked flaunching show it.
"Victorian terrace with original clay tiles. Correct material matching and lime mortar — exactly right for the property. Very impressed."
"Ridge repointing on our exposed 1930s semi. They used a more weather-resistant mix than standard because of our position. Made a real difference."
"Re-roof on a 1960s detached. Clean work, on-time, competitive quote. Would recommend."
