Burgess Hill Roof Lining
Felt lining on a roof becomes worn over time, especially the older non breathable membrane (bitumen based.)
At Bespoke Roofing LTD we are able to offer the roofing service for a new breathable membrane to be installed on your property.
You may not be aware but ventilation cannot be installed without having a breathable membrane lining, as this causes condensation in your roof space which can appear as a leak!
I would recommend this service to any client who's roof tiles are in good condition but the felt underneath has become dilapidated and also those who wish to install ventilation within their roof space.
Burgess Hill Chimney repairs.
Chimney stacks are one of the main causes for leaks into an internal property.
The following issues are the most common to identify.
Chimney Pointing - Age plays a significant factor in the state of the mortar on your chimney. Once your mortar is a certain age it will begin to crack and allow water into your internal property.
Chimney Rendering - Once again age is a significant factor in the state of the render on your chimney. If the render begins to crack this will allow water to travel and sit between your brickwork, eventually leading to water penetration.
Chimney Flaunching - The chimney flaunching sometimes known as a coping is the top section of mortar that allows your pots to be bedded correctly, but also is laid to a fall allowing water to travel off the top of your stack.
Chimney Pots & Cowls - Chimney pots and cowls can become cracked with age, and driving rain can also cause ingress of water should a chimney cowl not be installed.
Lead Flashings - Lead on average has a life span of 20-30 years dependent on its grade. Over time lead expands and retracts with heat and can begin to crack and malign.
Burgess Hill Moss Removal.
Moss, algae and lichen build up can be a big problem for homeowners, not only can it hold water on your roof but also once it falls can block guttering and downpipes preventing free flowing water.
There are a few methods in which we are able to offer in order to remove this from your roof.
The first method is a standard dry scrape - manually removing all moss, algae and lichens from your roof.
The second method is to jet wash and seal.
A manual dry scrape is performed first removing all moss, algae and lichens from your roof.
Once all moss is removed a high powered jet wash is performed with an anti fungal wash to all pitched roofing elevations required.
Once dry we use a high quality roofing sealant to aid in prevention of re-growth and ensure that the roof is 100% clean.
Burgess Hill valley repairs/replacements.
There are a few different ways a valley can be installed.
The most common types of valley are tiled valleys, lead valleys and fibreglass valley.
At Bespoke Roofing we are able to offer all of these option but can depend upon the gradient that your valley is positioned.
In most cases we would also change the roof lining a metre either side of the valley so we can be confident that it is completely weathered.
Burgess Hill ridge, hip and bonnet repairs.
Ridge, hip, and bonnet tiles are fundamental materials that form the external structure of your roof.
Ridge and hip lines can be formed using either a mortar mix or a dry ridge system, with bonnet tiles being formed using a mortar mix.
The most common method of laying ridge, hips and bonnets is using a mortar mix, which in time can deteriorate through weathering.
This is one of our most common repairs as the mortar begins to age well before the tile itself in most cases.
The ridge, hip and bonnet tiles can also deteriorate through age and we also offer the service to replace the tile itself depending on its condition.
Another common roofing issue is through storm damage where tiles can be stripped from the roof in high winds, and therefore require replacing - mainly through insurance.
We at Bespoke Roofing offer all types of repairs, from full ridge, bonnet and hip lines to single tile replacements.

Burgess Hill Roofing heritage
Roofing in Burgess Hill has a rich history that reflects the architectural evolution of the area, with significant developments dating back to the medieval period. The town, which became more prominent in the 19th century, is marked by an array of roofing styles ranging from thatched cottages to the more modern slate roofs.
Chapel Land Farmhouse, an architectural gem within Burgess Hill, provides a glimpse into the historical roofing practices of the region. This farmhouse, believed to date back to the 17th century, has a distinctively steep pitched roof that was commonly used in that era. Typically constructed from locally sourced materials, the roofing would often consist of handmade clay tiles or thatched straw, showcasing the craftsmanship of the time.
As Burgess Hill transitioned through the Industrial Revolution, roofing styles began to change in response to the growing population and industrial activities. The use of slate became more widespread, allowing for more durable and weather-resistant roofs. This shift was inspired partly by the nearby slate quarries, which made it an accessible material for local builders.
In the 20th century, post-war housing developments introduced modern roofing methods and materials. The introduction of new technologies and materials, such as concrete tiles and synthetic options, offered residents a wide range of choices while also improving the longevity and performance of roofs.
Today, roofing in Burgess Hill, including structures like Chapel Land Farmhouse, continues to reflect both historical significance and modern advancements. Renovations and restorations of such historic properties adhere to preservation standards, ensuring that the original charm and character are maintained while upgrading the roof for enhanced durability and performance. As such, the evolution of roofing in Burgess Hill serves not only as a testament to the region’s architectural heritage but also highlights the balance between history and modernity in contemporary residential design.
