Great service from WS & Sons Roofing Contractors. They fixed our leaking valley, replaced rotten battens, and re-cemented the ridge tiles. Good communication, fair price, and quality work.

Roofers in Hove for slate terraces, 1930s semis and flat roofs
Roofers in Hove, from the Victorian slate terraces off Church Road to the 1930s semis of Hove Park and West Blatchington. Ring 01273 110909 or send the form and William will come out and give you a free quote.
Hove's roofs change every few streets. Brunswick and the roads off Church Road are Regency and Victorian, mostly Welsh slate behind parapet walls, with lead-lined valleys and gutters hidden from the street. Further north, Hove Park, West Blatchington and Hangleton are 1930s and post-war semis in plain tile and concrete tile, hipped and with chimneys that have stood for 90 years.
On the slate terraces, the faults are slipped slates from rusted nails, split lead in the valley gutters behind the parapet and cracked flaunching on shared stacks. On the 1930s semis, it is perished felt, slipping tiles and ridges bedded in mortar that has given up. Both sit within a mile of the sea, so wind-driven rain finds any weak point in a verge or flashing.
Rear extensions with flat roofs are everywhere in Aldrington and Poets' Corner, and a lot of them are on their second or third felt covering. We replace them from the deck up in felt, EPDM or GRP.
Roofing contractors in Hove and Portslade
Hove is next door to our Brighton base, about 1 miles away, so a roofing contractor here can be on your street the same day you ring. We work from Brunswick and Adelaide Crescent out to Portslade, Mile Oak and Hangleton, and William comes to every quote himself.
Roof repairs in Hove
Most roof repairs in Hove come down to three things: a split lining in the valley gutter behind a parapet, slates sliding off rusted nails, and cracked flaunching on a shared chimney. Our roof repairs in Hove page goes through each one street by street.
New roofs and flat roofs in Hove
A new roof on a 1930s semi in Hangleton or West Blatchington means stripping to the rafters, new breathable membrane and battens, new tiles and a dry fix ridge. Rear extensions get a new deck and a felt, EPDM or GRP covering; see flat roofs in Hove. Budgets are in our new roof cost guide.

Hove questions
Do you work on Hove's conservation-area terraces?
Yes. We match slate, keep parapets, chimneys and ridges as they were, and check with you whether consent is needed before anything is booked.
Can you get to a valley gutter behind a parapet?
Yes. Hidden valley gutters are a common leak on Hove terraces, and we re-line them in lead or a modern membrane.
Do you cover Portslade and Mile Oak?
Yes, both, as well as Hangleton and West Blatchington.
How quickly can you get to Hove?
We are about 1 miles away in Brighton, so we can often look at a leak the same day. Ring 01273 110909.
Is Brunswick Town a conservation area?
Yes. Brunswick Town and much of central Hove are conservation areas, so we keep slate, parapets and chimneys as they are and talk you through consent before booking.
