Our Horsham roofing expertise
Early Roofing in Horsham
Historically, Horsham's roofs were predominantly thatched, reflecting the agricultural nature of the region. Thatched roofs provided excellent insulation and were well-suited to the rural landscape of Horsham.
Transition to Modern Roofing
With urbanization and industrialization, Horsham saw a shift towards more durable roofing materials such as clay tiles, slate, and later asphalt shingles. This transition marked a significant change in the aesthetics and functionality of roofs in the region.

Felt 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.
Horsham 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.
Horsham 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.
Horsham 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.
Horsham 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 Horsham
The history of roofing in Horsham reflects the broader architectural and cultural trends seen throughout Sussex and southern England. Traditionally, Horsham's roofing materials were influenced by the region's natural resources and evolving building techniques.
In the medieval period, Horsham’s buildings frequently featured thatched roofs, using water reed or straw—materials readily available in the surrounding countryside. Thatching was a common roofing method due to its insulation qualities and relative affordability.
By the 17th and 18th centuries, Horsham saw the increased use of clay tiles. The presence of local clay deposits supported tile manufacturing, and tiled roofs became a hallmark of more permanent, durable structures. Horsham clay tiles, known for their distinct reddish-brown hue, provided better weather resistance compared to thatch.
The Victorian and Edwardian eras introduced slate roofs, benefiting from the wider availability facilitated by improved transportation networks such as railways. Welsh slate, prized for its durability and aesthetic appeal, was widely applied to residential and public buildings, marking a shift towards more fire-resistant roofing materials.
In the 20th century, roofing technology and materials diversified further. The introduction of concrete tiles and roofing felt offered affordable alternatives, while the latter half of the century saw the emergence of modern materials such as GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) for flat roofing solutions.
Throughout its history, Horsham's roofing styles have combined practicality with regional tradition, adapting continually to advances in materials and construction methods. Today, roofing in Horsham embraces a range of techniques from traditional tile and slate to modern synthetic materials, reflecting both heritage preservation and contemporary needs.
