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.
Pulborough is a village with significant character — the historic core around Church Hill and Swan View contains properties of considerable age, many with clay peg tile or natural slate roofs that require specialist material matching and traditional repair methods. The village sits beside the River Arun, and the watermeadows to the south create persistent damp conditions that have a measurable effect on roof moss growth and mortar degradation.
Away from the historic core, post-war semis and bungalows on higher ground to the north and east make up the majority of the housing stock. These properties were built with concrete interlocking or plain concrete tiles in the 1950s through 70s, and the proximity to the Arun's damp microclimate means lichen and moss establish faster here than in more elevated or exposed positions.
Moss and lichen accumulation is the primary maintenance issue for Pulborough properties, driven directly by the Arun Valley humidity. On period properties around Church Hill, lead valley linings corrode faster than in drier environments, and chimney flashing failures are common. The post-war bungalows on higher ground face tile degradation from a different source — UV exposure on low-pitch roofs combined with the damp cycle creates faster crazing on old concrete tiles.
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.
Lower Street runs narrow with the A283 through it, so scaffold there is permit-and-lights work; hillside properties off Rectory Lane often need extended tower lifts for rear elevations. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Horsham District Council; allow a few working days on streets like Lower Street, Church Place where space is tight.

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. Arun valley humidity is the defining factor - wet valley air slows mortar cure and accelerates organic growth on north slopes.
"Our Arun-facing property had extensive moss on the north and east slopes — the valley was blocked completely. They cleared and treated the whole roof, replaced the valley liner and we've been clear through two winters since."
"Period cottage — original clay tiles. Three had cracked in the frost. They sourced matching reclaimed tiles and you genuinely can't tell where the repairs are. Excellent work."
"Emergency call for a leak over the bedroom. They were with us the same afternoon, made it watertight and came back the following week for the full repair. Couldn't ask for more."
Yes. Pulborough is within our regular working area from Horsham. We cover all property types in Pulborough for emergency and planned roofing work. Available 24/7 — call 0140 358 1272.
Yes, noticeably. The Arun Valley creates above-average humidity in Pulborough, particularly in late autumn and winter. This accelerates moss and lichen growth on all aspects, and speeds up lead corrosion on older flashings and valleys. More frequent inspection and maintenance is worthwhile for Pulborough properties.
Yes, with appropriate care. We're experienced with period properties requiring lime mortar, clay tile matching and lead work, and we advise on any planning requirements for listed buildings before work starts.
Pricing is consistent with our wider Horsham area rates. Minor repairs start from £150. Larger jobs such as valley replacement or moss treatment and recoating start from £400. Free survey and written quote — no obligation.
Pulborough sits in the Arun Valley, creating above-average humidity compared to surrounding higher ground. Combined with significant tree canopy and limited winter sun on north-facing slopes, this makes Pulborough one of the areas with the fastest moss establishment rates we cover. Annual treatment is advisable.
Yes. Pulborough is approximately 20 minutes from Horsham. We cover all roofing services including emergency call-outs. Call 0140 358 1272 for a free survey.
Properties near the Arun watermeadows see measurably higher humidity than those on higher ground. This accelerates moss growth, lead corrosion and timber decay. We take this into account when surveying and specifying work on valley-floor properties.
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 Pulborough roofer who turns up when they say they will.
