Common repair jobs on Pulborough roofs
Slipped and cracked tiles
Plain clay tiles hang on nibs and are often nailed only every few courses. When nibs snap or nails rust, tiles slide. We refit with the right tile and fixing.
Ridge and hip tiles
Old mortar-bedded ridges crack and let water in along the top of the roof. We rebed or fit a dry ridge system where that suits the house.
Chimney flashings
Lead flashings that have lifted, cracked or been sealed with mastic are a common source of leaks. We re-dress or replace them in lead.
Valleys
Where two roof slopes meet, water concentrates. Lead and mortar valleys both fail with age; we strip and re-line them.
Slate repairs
Victorian and Edwardian slate roofs lose slates as nails corrode. We refix with copper tingles or re-nail with copper, not glue.
Verges and bargeboards
Gable ends take the weather. Loose verge mortar and rotten bargeboards are repaired before water reaches the wall.

Four things worth knowing before you book anyone
Most storm damage was already loose
A tile that blows off in a gale was usually held by a rusted nail or a broken nib before the wind arrived. A good repair looks at the tiles around it, not just the gap.
A repair is usually the right answer
Plenty of Pulborough roofs have decades left in them. If a repair will do, we say so. If the whole slope is failing, we show you why with photos.
Match the material, not just the colour
The district council’s conservation appraisal records plain clay tile, slate, pantile and stone slab roofs in the village. A modern tile in the middle of an old clay roof looks wrong and can sit at a different gauge. We source matching reclaimed or new tiles.
Conservation areas change what we can use
Pulborough’s conservation area covers Church Place and Lower Street. Like-for-like repairs are normally straightforward, but changing materials on a listed building needs consent. We will tell you before we start.
