Findon Roofing & Roof Repairs
Bespoke Roofing & Renovations provides roofing services throughout Findon, Findon Valley and the surrounding parts of West Sussex. Our family-run company has more than 20 years of experience working on pitched roofs, flat roofs, chimneys, valleys and complete roof-renovation projects.
Properties around Findon can experience strong winds and driving rain due to their position close to the South Downs. Roofs in more exposed locations may be particularly vulnerable to displaced tiles, deteriorated ridge mortar and water entering through defective junctions.
We provide clear written quotations, photographs where appropriate and complimentary drone roof surveys where weather, access and flight restrictions allow. If scaffolding is required, it can be supplied and managed by our own team.

Roofing Services Available in Findon
Our team works on tiled, slated, pitched and flat roofs. We undertake individual repairs as well as extensive renovation and complete replacement projects.
Our services include:
Roof-leak investigations
Slipped and broken tile replacement
Roof-lining and batten replacement
New tiled and slated roofs
Flat-roof repairs and replacements
Chimney repointing and restoration
Lead flashing replacement
Valley repairs and renewals
Ridge, hip and bonnet tile repairs
Storm-damage repairs
Fascias, soffits and guttering
Moss removal and roof maintenance
Roof and Velux window installation
In-house scaffolding
The appropriate solution depends on the construction, age and overall condition of the roof. We inspect the visible areas before specifying the required work.
Finding the Cause of a Roof Leak
Water does not always appear inside a property directly below the external defect. It can travel along the roofing membrane, rafters or other structural components before becoming visible.
Possible sources of water ingress include:
Cracked or missing roof tiles
Torn or deteriorated underlay
Failed chimney flashings
Damaged roof valleys
Loose ridge or hip tiles
Cracked chimney render or pointing
Defective flat-roof coverings
Blocked gutters and outlets
Poorly weathered roof junctions
We assess the accessible roof areas and explain the likely cause before providing a written quotation.
A drone may be used to photograph difficult-to-reach areas where conditions permit. Physical access may still be required where materials need to be lifted, tested or examined closely.
Findon Roof-Lining Replacement
The underlay beneath a tiled or slated roof provides additional protection when rainwater passes through damaged or displaced coverings.
Older bitumen-based felt can become brittle, torn or badly sagged. Battens may also deteriorate, particularly where they have been affected by repeated moisture.
If the principal roof covering remains suitable for reuse, it may be possible to renew the underlay and battens without replacing every tile.
The work can include:
Installing the required scaffolding
Removing and stacking suitable tiles or slates
Removing the deteriorated felt and battens
Inspecting the exposed rafters and roof structure
Completing agreed timber repairs
Installing new BBA-approved breathable membrane
Installing new tanalised roofing battens
Fitting rigid eaves support trays
Providing ventilation appropriate to the roof construction
Relaying retained roof coverings
Replacing cracked or unsuitable tiles
Completing the ridge, hip, verge and leadwork details
Removing waste from the property
Breathable membrane and roof ventilation perform different functions. The ventilation requirements must be considered according to the roof construction, insulation position and existing airflow.
New and Replacement Roofs
Where the roof covering and supporting materials have deteriorated extensively, a complete replacement may provide a more dependable solution than repeated isolated repairs.
We install tiled and slated pitched roofs using a specification appropriate to the property.
A replacement-roof project may include:
Scaffolding and safe working access
Removing the existing roof covering
Removing old underlay and battens
Inspecting the roof structure
Completing agreed timber repairs
Installing breathable membrane and tanalised battens
Fitting eaves support and ventilation components
Installing new tiles or slates
Renewing valleys and leadwork
Completing ridge, hip and verge details
Removing roofing waste
The full specification, materials and guarantee period will be set out within the written quotation.
Chimney Repairs in Findon
Chimneys are highly exposed and require several components to work together to prevent water ingress.
A leak around a chimney may be caused by the stack itself, its lead flashings or the surrounding roof covering.
Our chimney services include:
Repointing eroded mortar joints
Repairing or replacing defective render
Renewing cracked chimney flaunching
Replacing damaged chimney pots
Installing appropriate cowls or caps
Repairing stepped flashings and soakers
Replacing front aprons and back gutters
Reducing or removing redundant stacks where specified
Repointing
Loose or missing mortar can allow moisture into the chimney masonry. Defective joints are raked out to a suitable depth before new mortar is applied.
Render Repairs
Cracked or hollow render can trap moisture against the stack. Depending on its condition, the render may require a local repair or more extensive removal and replacement.
Flaunching
The mortar around the chimney pots supports them and directs rainwater away from the top of the stack. Cracks or poorly formed falls can permit water to enter the chimney structure.
Lead Flashings
Lead creates a weatherproof junction between the chimney and roof. Split, lifted or poorly installed leadwork may need local repair or complete renewal.
Leadwork and Roof Junctions
Lead is commonly used around chimneys, walls, roof junctions and valleys. Its performance depends on the correct lead code, maximum section lengths, fixings and detailing.
Our leadwork services include:
Stepped chimney flashings
Lead soakers
Front aprons
Back gutters
Wall-abutment flashings
Lead valleys
Parapet and firewall details
Local lead repairs
Complete flashing replacement
We assess the surrounding roof covering as well as the visible lead because leaks can originate from adjoining materials.
Valley Repairs and Renewals
Roof valleys direct rainwater from two roof slopes into the guttering system. They carry more water than most other parts of the roof and can cause substantial leaks if they fail.
Valley defects may include:
Split or fatigued lead
Cracked GRP components
Loose mortar
Blocked drainage channels
Damaged valley boards
Deteriorated surrounding underlay
Poorly cut or displaced tiles
Depending on the roof, we can install:
New lead valleys
GRP valley troughs
Dry valley systems
Traditional tiled valleys
Replacement normally involves removing the surrounding tiles, inspecting the supporting structure and renewing the adjacent membrane and battens where required. This creates a properly weathered connection between the valley and the adjoining roof slopes.
Ridge, Hip and Bonnet Tile Work
Ridge and hip tiles protect vulnerable junctions at the top and external angles of a roof. Bonnet tiles may be used to form weathered hip lines on certain tiled roofs.
Traditional mortar can crack and loosen through frost, wind, rain and general ageing. The bedding may fail even where the tiles remain reusable.
We undertake:
Isolated mortar repairs where appropriate
Removing and rebedding loose ridge tiles
Rebedding hip and bonnet tiles
Replacing cracked or missing components
Renewing complete ridge and hip lines
Installing compatible dry-ridge and dry-hip systems
Repairs following storm damage
Mechanically fixed systems may be recommended where they are compatible with the roof and chosen specification.
Flat Roofing in Findon
We repair and install flat roofs on extensions, garages, porches, dormers and other suitable structures.
Signs that a flat roof requires attention can include:
Water entering internally
Cracks or splits in the covering
Blistering and lifting
Standing water
Defective wall junctions
Damaged trims or outlets
Soft or deteriorated decking
Available systems include:
Traditional three-layer felt
GRP fibreglass
Fibre-reinforced liquid roofing
Where required, the existing covering is removed and the supporting structure inspected. Damaged decking can be replaced with suitable 18mm OSB roofing boards before the new system is installed.
The best system depends on the construction, size, falls and detailing of the individual roof.
Roof Moss and General Maintenance
Moss and organic growth can collect around tiles, valleys and gutters. Heavy growth may restrict rainwater drainage and conceal damaged roof coverings.
Our maintenance service can include:
Manually removing heavy moss
Clearing loose debris
Cleaning accessible gutters and outlets
Applying a suitable biocidal treatment
Replacing visibly damaged tiles
Completing minor mortar or flashing repairs
Pressure washing is not appropriate for every roof and can damage older or fragile coverings. The cleaning method should be selected after considering the roof material and condition.
A treatment may slow the return of moss, but no responsible contractor can guarantee that organic growth will never return.
Roofing in Findon and Findon Valley
We work throughout Findon village, Findon Valley and nearby communities around the South Downs and Worthing.
Roofs in elevated or open positions may experience greater wind exposure than more sheltered properties. Following severe weather, homeowners may notice loose tiles, displaced ridge components or damage around roof edges.
Regular visual checks are particularly useful after periods of strong wind or driving rain. Early repairs can reduce the risk of water reaching the underlay, insulation and internal finishes.

Roof Inspections, Repairs and Replacements in Findon
Accurately identifying the cause of a roofing problem is essential. Water can travel along underlay, rafters and adjoining materials before becoming visible inside the property, so the internal damp patch may not be directly beneath the external defect.
During an inspection, we look for visible problems such as:
Broken or displaced tiles
Deteriorated roof underlay
Defective chimney flashings
Cracked chimney pointing or render
Damaged roof valleys
Loose ridge and hip tiles
Defective flat-roof coverings
Blocked or leaking guttering
Storm damage
Where the roof remains generally serviceable, a targeted repair may be sufficient. We do not recommend complete replacement simply because a roof has developed an isolated defect.
Where the covering, underlay, battens and associated weathering details have deteriorated extensively, we can provide a separate quotation for a larger renovation or complete roof replacement. This allows the homeowner to compare the available options, likely lifespan and overall cost before deciding how to proceed.
A properly completed repair can provide a lasting solution when it addresses the actual cause and the surrounding roof remains in suitable condition. Complete replacement is generally considered where deterioration is widespread or repeated repairs are no longer economical.
Roofing and Building Character in Findon
Findon is a historic downland village situated within the South Downs National Park. Its buildings include traditional cottages, period properties and more recent homes, creating a varied mix of roofing materials and construction methods.
The Findon Conservation Area contains properties with roofs finished in materials including slate, clay tiles and, on some historic buildings, Horsham stone slabs. Flint, brick, render and timber framing also contribute to the village’s established architectural character. Findon conservation-area appraisal
One of Findon’s most significant historic buildings is the Grade I-listed Parish Church of St John the Baptist. The church is built principally from flint, with medieval sections and a large roof covering the nave and north aisle. Historic England records that the church was restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1867. Historic England listing
These different building styles mean roofing work in Findon cannot be approached with one standard specification. The appropriate materials and repair method should reflect the existing roof, the condition of its components and the character of the property.
For older, listed or conservation-area properties, repairs may need to retain the existing appearance and use compatible materials. Listed-building consent, planning permission or other approval may be required for certain alterations, particularly where the work changes the roof covering, design or historic fabric.
Our work can include:
Matching replacement clay or concrete tiles
Natural slate repairs and replacement
Reusing suitable existing roof coverings
Traditional chimney and mortar repairs
Lead flashing and valley work
Breathable roof membranes and tanalised battens
Appropriate roof ventilation
Modern flat-roof systems on suitable structures
We assess each roof individually and describe the proposed specification clearly within the written quotation.
