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.
Storrington sits at the northern foot of the South Downs, and this geographic position defines the roofing challenges in the village. Properties on the southern edge — particularly along Manleys Hill and the lanes toward the Downs — are exposed to weather rolling off the high ground in a way that more sheltered Low Weald towns are not. Ridge and hip mortar degrades faster here, tiles take more physical force from wind and rain, and north-facing slopes receive less drying sun in winter.
The village centre has a well-preserved stock of older properties — tile-hung and clay-tiled cottages on Church Street and the surrounding lanes that require materials matching and traditional repair methods. The 1970s and 80s estates on the northern and western fringes of the village bring a different set of demands: concrete interlocking tiles at various stages of the nail sickness cycle, and flat roofs on rear extensions approaching or past end of life.
Ridge tile and mortar failure from South Downs exposure is the most distinctive problem in Storrington compared to more sheltered West Sussex towns. Tile-hung elevations on period properties need periodic inspection — clay tile hangers crack and loosen more quickly in an exposed position. On the 1970s–80s estate stock, nail sickness and flat roof failure are the primary maintenance drivers, consistent with the pattern we see across the wider area.
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 conservation frontages need footway licences and short-window deliveries; Downs-edge closes off Manleys Hill get gusty, so we sheet and strip in shorter runs there. 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.
| Job | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Slipped or cracked tile refix | £150-£250 | Per visit, access included |
| Ridge/hip re-bed (per run) | £250-£550 | Mortar or dry-fix |
| Valley re-line | £450-£900 | Lead or GRP valley |
| Chimney flashing renewal | £350-£650 | Code 4 lead |
| Storm make-safe + repair | £200-£600 | Insurance documentation included |
Worked example: A wind-slipped course of concrete interlocking tiles on a 1960s semi in Roffey: refixed with new clips plus two replacement tiles, £220 all-in, done in a morning.
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 RH20 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. Sitting at the foot of the Downs, Storrington takes accelerated wind loading - exposed ridges get mechanical fixing as standard.
"Storm took out about eight ridge tiles on our exposed-position house near Manleys Hill. Called first thing and they were on site the same afternoon. Replaced the damaged section and checked the full ridge run while they were up there."
"Tile-hung cottage on Church Street — several clay hangers had cracked after the hard frost. They matched the reclaimed clay very well and the repair is invisible unless you know where to look."
"Flat roof on our 1970s kitchen extension finally gave up. GRP fibreglass replacement done in one day and the 25-year guarantee is exactly what we needed for our peace of mind."
Noticeably. Properties on the southern edge of Storrington take significantly more wind and rain than those in more sheltered positions. Ridge mortar, pointing and tile fixing all degrade faster, and we recommend more frequent inspections for properties directly exposed to the Downs.
Yes. Storrington is within our regular coverage area. For genuine emergencies we aim to reach the village within 3–4 hours. Available 24/7 — call 0140 358 1272.
Yes. Tile-hung elevations are common on period properties in Storrington village centre, and we repair and replace clay tile hangers as well as carrying out roof work. We source appropriate reclaimed clay to match existing hung tiles.
Re-bedding a ridge section or replacing individual ridge tiles typically costs £250–£500 depending on length and access. Full ridge replacement on an exposed Storrington property runs £400–£800. Free survey and written quote on all work.
Yes significantly. Storrington sits at the foot of the South Downs and receives more wind and driven rain than sheltered Weald towns. Ridge and hip mortar deteriorate faster here than almost anywhere else we cover. We specify more robust mortar mixes on exposed Storrington properties.
Yes. Storrington is approximately 20 minutes from Horsham and a regular working area. All services covered including emergency call-outs 24/7. Call 0140 358 1272 to arrange a free survey.
Yes. We source matching reclaimed clay plain tiles for repairs and replacements to maintain visual consistency on period properties. Conservation area requirements are observed where applicable.
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 Storrington roofer who turns up when they say they will.
