The visible damp patch may not be directly below the defect
Rainwater can enter at a damaged tile, flashing, chimney, valley or roof junction and then travel before becoming visible indoors. Treating only the area above the stain can leave the real cause unresolved.
We assess the surrounding roof details and, where suitable, use drone photography to inspect areas that cannot be viewed safely from ground level.

Repair, roof-lining renewal or complete replacement?
Our quotation explains the recommended extent of work and why it is appropriate for the roof’s condition.
Targeted roof repair
Often the right option when the wider roof remains serviceable and a reliable local repair can be formed.
- Isolated tile or slate damage
- Local flashing or mortar failure
- Small storm-damaged areas
- Specific valley or ridge defect
Roof-lining replacement
May be suitable where coverings can be retained but old felt and battens have deteriorated across a roof slope.
- Brittle or torn underlay
- Deteriorated battens
- Repeated leaks after tile movement
- Suitable coverings available for reuse
Complete roof replacement
Can offer better long-term value where failures occur across several areas or the roof covering is near the end of its useful life.
- Repeated repairs no longer holding
- Widespread covering failure
- Extensive felt and batten decay
- Complete system renewal required

Repairs planned for Brighton homes and coastal weather
Brighton’s exposed rooflines can experience strong winds, driving rain and rapid weather changes. Older terraced and converted properties can also contain complex valleys, parapets, chimney junctions and adjoining roof details.
We work across Brighton and Hove, including BN1, BN2 and BN3, and throughout nearby coastal communities.
Coastal wind exposure
Slipped tiles, loose ridges and vulnerable roof edges should be assessed in the context of the surrounding fixings and roof condition.
Older roof junctions
Chimneys, leadwork, valleys, parapets and party-wall details can deteriorate at different rates and allow water to travel before it appears internally.
Access above streets and extensions
Our in-house scaffolding division can coordinate suitable access for taller terraces, chimneys and roofs above conservatories or lower extensions.

Brighton roof-repair FAQs
How much does a roof repair cost in Brighton?
The price depends on the cause, roof height, access, materials, repair area and whether scaffolding is required. We provide a written quotation after assessing the relevant roof details.
How quickly can you attend a leaking roof?
If there is active water ingress, tell us when you enquire and we will explain the likely next steps and current availability. Attendance timing depends on location, weather, access and the work already scheduled.
Can you repair my roof without replacing it?
Often, yes. Many defects are localised to tiles, flashings, ridges, valleys or chimneys. If the wider roof remains serviceable and a reliable repair can be formed, replacement may not be necessary.
Do you repair flat roofs in Brighton?
Yes. We assess felt, GRP and liquid systems, including the deck, edges, joints, outlets and upstands. Visit our Brighton flat-roofing page.
Can you repair chimney leaks and lead flashing?
Yes. Our work includes repointing, flaunching, pots, cowls, stepped flashings, soakers, aprons and back gutters. See our Brighton chimney-repair service.
Do you use drones for roof-repair inspections?
Where suitable and subject to weather, access and flight restrictions, drone photographs can help identify defects on difficult roof areas. Physical access may still be required to inspect materials and fixings closely.
Will roof repairs require scaffolding?
It depends on roof height, access and the location and extent of the defect. If scaffolding is needed, our in-house scaffolding team can coordinate it with the repair.
Are roof repairs guaranteed?
Guarantee availability depends on the type of repair, condition of adjoining materials and work completed. Any applicable written guarantee will be confirmed in the quotation. See our guarantees policy.
Which areas around Brighton do you cover?
We work throughout Brighton and Hove, including Kemptown, Hanover, Seven Dials, Preston Park, Patcham, Woodingdean, Rottingdean, Saltdean and Portslade, as well as surrounding Sussex communities.
What photographs should I send?
Send clear images of the internal damp or damage and any safe exterior photographs available. Do not climb onto the roof. Photographs can be sent by WhatsApp to 07584 662904.
Useful links for diagnosing and planning roof work
