Roofers in CrawleyNew Roofs, Flat Roofs & Repairs

Crawley is one of the busiest towns in West Sussex, and its roofs reflect how quickly it grew. From the original neighbourhoods built as part of the post-war new town to more recent estates on its edges, homeowners here deal with a wide spread of roof ages and designs. Contact Robbie to confirm availability at your property.

The kinds of roofs we see in Crawley

Much of Crawley’s housing was built in planned neighbourhoods such as Three Bridges, Tilgate, Pound Hill and Broadfield, with large numbers of terraced and semi-detached homes sharing similar roof designs. Many of these roofs use concrete interlocking tiles, and a lot of them are now old enough for battens, underlay and fixings to be reaching the end of their useful life, even where the tiles themselves look acceptable from the street.

The town also has a large number of flat-roofed garages, porches, dormers and rear extensions. These smaller roofs are often the first place a leak appears. Older parts of the town, around the High Street and in surrounding villages, include period homes with clay tiles and more complicated junctions around chimneys and dormers.

Getting someone out to Crawley

Robbie answers the phone 24/7, including evenings and weekends. Ask how assessment, quoting and planned work would be arranged. For a ceiling leak or storm damage, call Robbie to discuss an emergency call-out and when he can reach you.

What Crawley roofs face through the year

Like the rest of the South East, Crawley sees long spells of wet weather, autumn and winter storms, and the occasional hard frost. Each of these tests a roof in a different way. Driving rain finds any gap at flashings and valleys, strong gusts lift loose ridges and tiles at the roof edge, and repeated freezing and thawing can crack older tiles and slates. Leaves dropped in autumn block gutters and outlets just when the heaviest rain arrives.

That is why small problems are worth looking at early. A single slipped tile or a blocked outlet is usually a modest job; the same issue left through a wet winter can lead to soaked insulation, stained ceilings and rotten timber. If you are not sure whether something needs attention, call Robbie and describe what you have seen. He will explain honestly whether it needs an inspection.
