Types of Roof repairs in Hassocks
Hassocks 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.
Hassocks 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.
Hassocks 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.
Hassocks 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.
Hassocks 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.

History of roofing in Hassocks
The history of roofing in Hassocks, a village in West Sussex, can be traced back to its early beginnings, with architectural influences evolving over the centuries. Initially, roofs were constructed using natural materials that were readily available in the area, such as thatch, timber, and slate. Thatch roofs, made from straw or reeds, were common in the earlier periods due to their insulation properties and abundance in rural settings.
As the village developed, particularly during the 19th century, slate became a preferred roofing material, reflecting the changes in local building styles and the availability of new materials. The growth of the railway system during this period facilitated the transportation of slate from Wales, allowing more buildings in Hassocks to feature durable and weather-resistant roofing.
In the 20th century, with the advancement of building technologies and an increase in housing demands, more modern materials such as concrete tiles and fiberglass emerged. The introduction of these materials provided homeowners with options that not only enhanced aesthetics but also improved longevity and ease of maintenance.
Throughout its history, Hassocks has demonstrated a commitment to maintaining the charm and character of its architecture. This preservation is reflected in the roofing styles that have been adopted over time, comprehensive restorations, and the attention to traditional methods that have characterized the region. Local roofing firms have played a vital role in this evolution, ensuring that modern roofing practices meet the demands of durability without sacrificing historical integrity.
Today, the roofing landscape in Hassocks includes a blend of traditional and contemporary styles, showcasing the village's rich history while accommodating the needs of its residents. Local roofing specialists continue to service the community, offering expertise in both new installations and essential repairs, thus contributing to the ongoing legacy of Hassocks' architectural heritage.
