Your local roofing guide

Period terraces and hidden roofs

Many of Brighton's older terraces have shallow roofs concealed behind parapets, with valley gutters, lead flashings and chimney stacks that are difficult to see from the street. Because these areas are out of sight, blocked gutters, cracked flashings or slipped slates may go unnoticed until water appears on a ceiling or wall.

A roof survey or close inspection is often the most sensible first step, as it shows whether a targeted repair will solve the problem or whether a larger section needs renewing. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local council before changing roof materials or the appearance of the roof. We can record the existing roof, explain what has failed and set out the options, so you have clear information for that conversation.

Salt air, wind and hillside streets

Brighton's coastal position exposes roofs to salt air and strong winds, and the city's hills mean neighbouring terraces can face the weather from different directions. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney flaunching and roofline materials on exposed elevations deserve regular checks, particularly after stormy weather.

Brighton also has many converted houses and flats, so it is worth confirming who is responsible for the roof before work is arranged. We can explain the condition of the roof and the options clearly, so that owners, landlords or managing agents can agree the next step.
