What roofing work do you do in Horsham?
Across Horsham (RH12) the work is mostly Horsham slab and tile re-roofs, heritage leadwork and parapet gutters, alongside the general roofing that goes with it. Horsham is an old market town with a tightly controlled conservation-area core, where a roof repair on a listed building has to be done in the material it was built with rather than the nearest modern equivalent. Every job starts with a proper look at the roof rather than a price guessed off a photograph.
Do you charge extra to come out to Horsham?
No. Travel is included in the price of the work. Horsham is roughly 18 miles from Brighton, and that is stated up front rather than added at the end. For anything more than a small repair, the job gets planned as a proper visit rather than a day trip.
Have you worked in Horsham before?
Yes. Horsham has its own roofing tradition in Horsham stone slab, and the old core around the Causeway is full of listed buildings where a repair has to be done in the right material or not at all. Paul is happy to talk through the kind of leadwork he has done near Causeway when you get in touch.
Does the property in Horsham change how the roof is done?
Yes, and it changes what is possible as much as how it is done. A lot of Horsham is listed or in a conservation area, so the covering, the lead code and sometimes the fixing method are all controlled. Cast lead where cast lead was there, hand-made tile where hand-made tile was there. It costs more and it is the only version that gets signed off.
Can you do labour only leadwork for a builder in Horsham?
Yes. Builders, main contractors and roofing firms around Horsham bring Paul in for the lead element they do not cover themselves, priced by the job or by the day on your material and your programme. Supply and fit is offered on exactly the same work if you would rather have one price for the lot.
How quickly can you quote a roof in Horsham?
Usually within a week or so, and faster where water is coming into the building. Horsham is around 18 miles from Brighton, so a look at the roof is straightforward to arrange. Quotes are free, carry no obligation, and you get the price in writing before anything starts.
