📞 Call Now: 0140 358 1272Steyning is one of West Sussex’s finest historic market towns, sitting at the foot of the South Downs on the River Adur. Its High Street is a designated conservation area lined with timber-framed medieval buildings, Georgian frontages and Victorian additions, giving the town a roofscape that ranges from ancient clay peg tile and Horsham Stone to later slate and concrete. This mix means roofing in Steyning is rarely one-size-fits-all — a repair on a listed High Street property calls for reclaimed materials and lime mortar, while the post-war housing on the town’s edges takes standard concrete tile.
The town centre is dominated by timber-framed and Georgian buildings, many listed and roofed in clay peg tile or, on the oldest, heavy Horsham Stone. Around Church Street and Charlton Street, Victorian and Edwardian houses carry clay tile and natural slate. The 20th-century expansion toward the Bramber and Ashurst roads brought 1930s and post-war housing in concrete and modern clay tile. This range demands a roofer who can match reclaimed peg tile and Horsham Stone as readily as they lay modern interlocking tile.
Historic England and the SPAB advise repairing period roofs with matching traditional materials and lime mortar, retaining original fabric wherever possible. — Historic England / SPAB guidance
Steyning’s position at the foot of the Downs and beside the Adur valley shapes its roofing challenges. The chalk downland to the south funnels wind across the town, so ridge and verge exposure is higher than in the sheltered Weald. The valley setting keeps humidity up, encouraging moss on north-facing slopes, and the older timber-framed buildings need careful, breathable repair to avoid trapping moisture in historic fabric.
The most common Steyning roofing calls are heritage repairs on the listed High Street stock — slipped peg tiles, failed lime pointing and worn Horsham Stone — alongside standard slipped-tile and flashing repairs on the newer estates. Conservation-area and listed-building consent applies across much of the town centre, so material matching and correct lime mortar are essential rather than optional.

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.
Steyning High Street and Church Street are conservation-area streets with listed frontages - scaffold licences carry conditions and we photograph party structures before erecting; modern closes off Shooting Field are simple 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 BN44 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. Downs-foot position means real wind exposure on south-westerlies plus damp air off the Adur - both factor into fixings and timings.
