Roof leak repairs in Burgess Hill
- 01
Finding where the water gets in
Water rarely drips straight down from the gap. It runs along the felt, battens or rafters first, so a stain in one room can start several metres away. We check the roof outside and the loft inside to follow the water back to the real entry point.

Common causes of roof leaks
The usual culprits are cracked or slipped tiles, split or lifted flashing around chimneys and walls, blocked valleys, worn mortar on ridges and failed joints on flat roofs. Condensation in the loft can look like a leak too, and we'll tell you if that's what's happening.

What to do while you wait
Put a bucket under the drip and move furniture and valuables out of the way. If a ceiling is bulging with water or the leak is near light fittings, keep clear and switch off the power to that area. Then call us and describe what you can see.
What to expect from roof leak repairs
When you call, we ask where the water is showing, when it appears and whether it's worse in heavy rain or strong wind. That helps narrow down the cause. We then inspect the roof and loft, find the entry point and give you a free quote for the repair.
If the weather is bad, we may fit a temporary cover first to stop more water getting in. The permanent repair follows in dry conditions, whether that's new tiles, fresh flashing or a sealed joint. Once it's done, we check the area again and let you know how to dry out any damp.

Roof leak repairs: your questions
Do you offer emergency roof leak repairs in Burgess Hill?
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency call-outs across Burgess Hill and the surrounding villages. If water is coming into your home, call us and we'll talk you through what to do straight away, then get someone out to make the roof safe and stop the water.
Why does my roof only leak in heavy rain or wind?
Leaks that only appear in bad weather usually mean water is being driven under tiles or flashing at an angle. A slightly lifted tile, a gap in the flashing or a worn valley can stay dry in light rain but let water in during a storm. We look for exactly these small gaps.
Can a damp ceiling be a problem other than a roof leak?
Yes. A damp ceiling can also come from condensation in the loft, a leaking water tank or pipe, or a bathroom above. When we inspect, we'll tell you if the roof isn't the cause, so you don't pay for a roof repair you don't need.
How soon should I fix a roof leak in my Burgess Hill home?
As soon as you can. Even a small leak can soak insulation, rot timbers and damage plaster over a few weeks. Fixing it early usually means a smaller, cheaper repair. We aim to respond the same day, and there's no call-out charge for coming to look.
