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.

Emergency roof repairs in Brighton after storms and sudden leaks
Emergency roof repairs in Brighton for storm damage, lifted tiles and water coming through the ceiling. Ring William now on 01273 110909 and we make the roof watertight first, then quote the permanent repair.
Brighton takes the weather straight off the Channel. A south-westerly gale lifts tiles along the seafront and up the hills behind it, drives rain sideways under verges and ridges, and finds every weak spot in a roof that has been fine all summer. When it happens, you need a roofer who answers the phone.
Ring 01273 110909 and you speak to William, not a call centre. Tell him what you can see: tiles missing, water through the ceiling, a ridge tile in the garden. We make the roof safe and watertight first, with tiles refitted, a temporary cover or a sheet over the damage, so the rain stops getting in. Then you get a quote for the permanent repair once the weather allows it to be done properly.
Storm damage is often an insurance claim. We photograph the damage before and after, write up what failed and why, and give you a written quote you can send to your insurer.

Emergency roof repairs: your questions answered
What should I do while I wait?
Move furniture and electrics away from the drip, put a bucket under it and, if water is near a light fitting, switch that circuit off. Do not go up a ladder in the wind. Then ring us.
Will my insurance cover storm damage?
Many home insurance policies cover storm damage to roofs. We give you photos and a written description of what failed to send to your insurer.
Can you fix it in the rain?
We make it watertight in the rain. Permanent repairs to felt, lead and mortar are done on a dry day, because they last longer that way.
Do you cover my area for emergencies?
We cover Brighton, Hove and the Sussex towns on our areas page. Ring and tell us where you are.
