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.

Roof repairs in Brighton that find the real cause of the leak
Roof repairs in Brighton and across Sussex, from one slipped tile to a leaking valley with rotten battens underneath. Ring 01273 110909 or send the form and William will come out, find the cause and give you a free quote.
A damp patch on the ceiling rarely sits under the hole. Water gets in at a cracked tile, a split valley or a loose flashing, runs down the felt and the rafters, and shows up a metre or two away. Fix the stain without finding the entry point and you are paying again next winter.
William gets up on the roof and into the loft where it matters, follows the water back to where it gets in and shows you what he found. Peter, whose roof we repaired in September 2026, had a leaking valley: the battens under it had rotted, so we replaced them, re-laid the valley and re-cemented the ridge while we were there. One visit, one bill, the leak gone.
Most of our repairs are smaller than that. A few broken tiles after a storm, a ridge tile rocking in the wind, a crack in the mortar at the verge, a gutter that has dropped and is pouring water down the wall. They are everyday jobs for us and they are priced as the small jobs they are.
What is included
- Leak traced from the roof and the loft
- Slipped, cracked and missing tiles and slates replaced
- Valleys re-laid, rotten battens replaced
- Ridge and hip tiles re-bedded or converted to dry fix
- Lead flashings re-dressed or renewed
- Felt patched or replaced under the damaged area
- Verges repointed or fitted with dry verge
- Photos of the problem and the finished repair
Signs you need this
- A brown stain spreading on a ceiling or chimney breast
- Tiles or slates lying in the garden or the gutter
- Mortar from the ridge or verge on the path
- Drips in the loft after heavy rain
- A rattle or flapping noise from the roof in the wind

Roof repairs: your questions answered
How fast can you come out?
Ring 01273 110909 and you speak to William. Customers in our reviews talk about him coming round the same day and the team arriving the following day. For water coming in, say so on the phone and you go to the front of the queue.
Can you repair it, or does it need a new roof?
Most roofs we look at need a repair, not a new roof. We tell you which, and why, with photos. If a roof does need replacing, you see the evidence for yourself.
Do you do small jobs like a few tiles?
Yes. Six broken tiles and a gutter clean is a normal morning for us, and the review from Ausama in September 2026 says exactly that.
Will you need scaffolding?
Not for most repairs. Ladders and roof ladders reach the majority of jobs on houses and bungalows. Tall gables, chimneys on three-storey terraces and large areas of work need a tower or scaffold, and that goes on the quote.
Do you repair flat roofs too?
Yes. Split felt, blisters, failed upstands and leaks around rooflights. See our flat roofing page for full replacements.
