Free Roof Check • Flat Roofs • Gutters & Fascias • Tile Repairs
Roofers In Polegate
A brown ring spreading on the ceiling under your flat roof, a gutter that sheets over the front door every time it rains hard, or a fascia board you can push your thumb into.
One visit sorts out which of those is costing you money and which can sit until spring. Nothing to pay for that visit, nothing to sign at the end of it, and more often than not the news is better than you expect. Call us on 01323 33 55 33.

Flat Roofs, Gutters And Tile Repairs In Polegate
The flat roof over your back extension is the part of the house you never look at, and it is usually the first thing to mark a ceiling. By the time you can see the stain, water has been standing up there for a year or more.
We get up on it and tell you whether yours has simply lost its fall or has gone past saving. Either way you get one answer and one price: a new EPDM, fibreglass or felt covering laid so your water runs to the outlet, or the gutters and boards put right if that is where your trouble really is.
There is no charge for the look and no obligation on you once you have had it. If your flat roof has a few more years in it, that is what you will be told, and we will leave it where it is. Ring 01323 33 55 33.

What you get from us
What A Free Roof Check Tells You
You Get The Fall Fixed, Not Just The Felt
Water standing still on your extension roof is what splits the covering, so we lay yours to a fall that gets it away to the outlet. You get a flat roof that stops being the reason your ceiling marks.
Your Gutters Stop Soaking The Wall
A dropped joint sends your rainwater down the front of the house instead of down the pipe, and the fascia behind it goes soft next. We re-hang or replace the run in uPVC and you stop the damp where it starts.
You Get The Ridge Sorted Before It Comes Off
A ridge tile you can see rocking in the wind has already lost the mortar holding it down, and it will not wait for a calm day to come off your roof. We re-bed or dry-fix your ridge and verge, and you stop wondering what is going to land on the drive.
Roofing Jobs We Do In Polegate
What you ring us about most, in rough order:
- Flat roofing - EPDM, fibreglass or torch-on felt laid for you to a proper fall, so your water reaches the outlet instead of standing still until the covering splits.
- Guttering, fascias and soffits - your dropped runs re-hung and your rotten boards replaced, so the wall behind them dries out and stays dry.
- Roof repairs - your slipped tiles, cracked ridge mortar and failed flashings put right, including the leak that has already come back on you once.
- Re-roofing - stripped, re-battened and re-covered for you in a tile close to the one that came off, at one price settled up front.
- Chimney repairs - a leaning pot, soft pointing or cracked flaunching on your stack put right, so your chimney stops being the way water gets in.
- Leadwork - flashings and roof-to-wall joints dressed for you in sheet lead, because sealant over a failed flashing is a repair you will be making again.

Common questions
Polegate Roofing Questions
Yes, more than a slipped tile lower down. A ridge tile is heavy, it sits at the highest point of the roof, and once the mortar under it has let go there is nothing holding it but its own weight. It also leaves the ridge open to the rain. Re-bedding or mechanically fixing the ridge is a straightforward repair, and one worth doing before the next storm rather than after it.
If it is old felt gone hard and split in more than one place, patching is money you will spend again next year. If it is a single failure at an upstand or a joint, a repair is the honest answer. The roof check tells you which, and a new covering in EPDM or GRP is a smaller job than people expect on an extension.
Repair and replacement, yes. Rotten timber behind a gutter, split lengths, joints that have dropped so the water runs over the front, and soffits that have come away. Where the timber has gone the whole run comes off and goes back in uPVC, which does not need painting and does not rot.
Yes. The roof check can be arranged with whoever holds the keys, and the tenant does not need to take a day off for it. What the roof needs goes to whoever is paying for the work, which on a let house is usually the landlord or the agent acting for them.
Yes. Polegate, Willingdon, Stone Cross, Westham and Pevensey, along with Hailsham and the whole of Eastbourne. The free roof check is the same wherever the house is: somebody goes up, looks at the roof, and tells you what it needs.
Usually there is nothing to stop it, but there are reasons not to. A heavier tile means the timbers have to be checked for the extra load, and a different profile changes how the verges, hips and ridge finish. Most re-roofs go back in an interlocking tile close to the original.
