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.
Henfield is a classic Sussex village with a well-preserved historic core centred on the High Street and Church Lane. The properties here are a mix of traditional Wealden tile-hung cottages, Victorian and Edwardian houses, and some earlier vernacular buildings that use materials and construction methods specific to the region. Repairs on these properties need careful material matching — reclaimed clay tiles, lime mortar for pointing and leaded flashings are standard requirements on the oldest stock.
The edges of the village have the expected post-war and 1960s–70s development — bungalows and semis with concrete interlocking tiles that are now 40–60 years old. Henfield sits on a small elevated spur surrounded by the Adur and Ouse river valleys, which creates a degree of exposure to south-westerly weather that means ridge and pointing maintenance is more frequent here than in valley-sheltered towns.
Tile-hung elevations with cracked or slipped clay hangers are distinctive to Henfield and the surrounding Wealden villages — this is work we carry out here more frequently than in most of our other coverage areas. On the post-war and 1960s bungalow stock, concrete tile nail sickness and flat roof failure on lean-to extensions are the main repair categories. Chimney mortar on exposed properties along the High Street also degrades quickly given the village's elevated position.
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.
Henfield High Street cottages sit tight to the footway, so scaffold usually means a pavement licence and pedestrian boarding; the post-war closes off Upper Station Road are simple tower access. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Horsham District Council; allow a few working days on streets like High Street, Church 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 BN5 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. Adur valley humidity pushes moss and lichen growth harder here than on the surrounding high ground.
"Wealden cottage on Church Lane — the tile hanging on the south gable had multiple cracked hangers. They matched the clay well and the repair is completely in keeping with the rest of the property."
"1960s bungalow — about 20 concrete tiles loose after the January storms. They came out within two days, replaced the loose tiles and pointed two sections of ridge that were ready to go. Very tidy work."
"Chimney stack on our exposed Victorian house needed full repoint. They used lime mortar as requested, matched the colour well and left no mess at all. Would recommend without hesitation."

Tile-hung wall repairs on period properties, concrete tile nail sickness on post-war bungalows, and chimney mortar failure on exposed properties along the High Street are the three most common repair categories we deal with in Henfield.
Henfield sits on an elevated spur, creating more exposure than surrounding valley properties. This accelerates deterioration on chimney stacks and ridge sections. Properties on the elevated western fringe see wind speeds noticeably higher than sheltered village centre buildings.
Yes. Henfield is approximately 20 minutes from Horsham. All roofing services covered including 24/7 emergency call-outs. Call 0140 358 1272 for a free survey.
Henfield village centre has conservation area protections. Properties in the zone require like-for-like materials or planning consent for significant changes. We advise on planning implications 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 Henfield roofer who turns up when they say they will.
