Lead roofer in Hove

Across Hove (BN3) the work is mostly bay roof re-leading, box gutters and dormer cheeks on wide Victorian terraces, alongside the general roofing that goes with it. Hove has conservation areas running along the front and a great deal of listed Regency and Victorian property behind them, so on a visible roof the material and the detail are usually fixed before the price is, and salt air off the Channel decides the rest. Every job starts with a proper look at the roof rather than a price guessed off a photograph.

No. Hove is home ground, so there is no travel charge and Paul can normally get out to look at a roof within a few days of you calling.

Yes. Hove is street after street of wide Victorian and Edwardian terraces with deep bay roofs and hidden parapet gutters, which is exactly the combination that keeps a lead roofer busy. Paul is happy to talk through the kind of leadwork he has done near Palmeira Square when you get in touch.

Very much so. Seafront property in Hove takes salt and wind-driven rain constantly, and the lead on it is usually working harder than the same detail two miles inland. Codes go up, laps get longer, fixings are non-ferrous throughout, and parapet gutters get drips at closer centres because the thermal movement on a south-facing roof there is not trivial. Nearly every failure we get called to on the front is a detail that would have been fine somewhere sheltered.

Yes. Builders, main contractors and roofing firms around Hove 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.

Usually within a week or so, and faster where water is coming into the building. Hove is around 1 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.
