📞 Call Now: 0140 358 1272Nail sickness is the defining roofing issue in Roffey. The large estates built across the neighbourhood from 1960–1985 used concrete interlocking tiles fixed with steel nails that are now 40–60 years old. When nails corrode, tiles slip — and in Roffey we see this pattern more consistently than anywhere else in our coverage area. Full re-roofs are increasingly the economical answer as nail failure spreads beyond 40% of the tile area.
The most frequent repair and replacement calls we receive from Crawley Road, Harwood Road, Rusper Road and the surrounding estate roads involve nail sickness on concrete tile estates, flat roof failure on rear extensions, ridge mortar failure as original haunching dries out. We carry materials appropriate for the dominant housing types in Roffey on every van, meaning most jobs are completed in a single visit.
We cover all roofing work in Roffey: roof repairs, full re-roofs, flat roofing (GRP fibreglass and EPDM), guttering, chimney repairs and 24/7 emergency call-outs. All work comes with a written quote before we start and a 10-year workmanship guarantee on completion.

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.
Roffey's concrete interlocking tile estates were built predominantly between 1960 and 1985. Steel fixing nails in concrete tiles have a practical lifespan of 40–60 years in West Sussex conditions. This means the oldest Roffey estates — those built before 1970 on Crawley Road, Harwood Road and Rusper Road — are now 55–65 years old, and nail failure is advanced. The 1970s–80s stock is entering the critical 45–55 year range where nail corrosion accelerates. By our estimate, more than half the concrete tile roofs in Roffey have nail sickness affecting at least 20% of their tile area.
The key threshold for nail sickness decisions is approximately 40% tile area affected. Below this level, targeted re-nailing and mechanical re-fixing of loose tiles is viable and cost-effective. Above 40%, the cost of identifying and fixing every affected tile approaches the cost of a full re-roof — and the unaffected tiles will simply continue to fail in subsequent years regardless. We carry out a systematic nail sickness assessment as part of every Roffey survey, giving you a percentage estimate of affected area and an honest recommendation on repair versus replacement.
A secondary issue in Roffey is flat roof failure on rear extensions and integral garages. The majority of Roffey estate properties had felt flat roofs applied to rear extensions in the 1970s–90s, and these are now 30–50 years old — well beyond the 15–20 year lifespan of the original felt systems. We carry out GRP fibreglass flat roof replacements throughout Roffey and typically complete a typical extension flat roof in a single day.
Roffey is approximately 5–10 minutes from our Horsham base and a regular working area. We have experience navigating the access constraints on the tighter estate roads in the area — scaffold siting, skip positioning and parking — and have established relationships with the scaffold contractors who work regularly in the neighbourhood. Survey-to-completion for typical Roffey repairs runs 3–5 working days; re-roofs are typically programmed within 2–3 weeks of survey.
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.
Roffey is dominated by post-war and 1960s-70s estates - concrete-tile semis with driveway tower access; the Crawley Road frontage needs care with the A264 traffic when loading. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Horsham District Council; allow a few working days on streets like Crawley Road, Fitzalan Road where space is tight.

| Valley re-line | £450-£900 | Lead or GRP valley |

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 RH12 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. The concrete-tile estates here are at the nail-sickness age - wind-lifted tiles after storms are the classic Roffey call-out.
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 fee. No obligation. We cover Roffey and all of Horsham.
