Roofing and driveways in Shoreham-by-Sea

Across Shoreham-by-Sea (BN43) it is mostly slate and clay tile re-roofs on older town property, chimney and lead work, flat roofs, and gravel or block paved drives, plus the flat roofs, fascias, guttering and patios that go alongside all of it. Shoreham-by-Sea has a historic centre with a conservation area running through it, so re-roofs on older property are generally expected to match the existing covering and chimney stacks are usually better repaired than removed. The newer estates on the edge of town carry none of those constraints, which is why the same street can need two different answers. Every job starts with somebody coming out and looking at it, then a free written estimate, rather than a price guessed over the phone.

No. Shoreham-by-Sea is about 6 miles from Brighton, well inside the daily patch, so travel is in the price and a visit to measure and quote is usually a couple of days away.

Yes. Shoreham sits between the river and the sea and takes weather from both, which shows up in ridge mortar and verge pointing more than anywhere else this close to home. Give us a ring and we will tell you what we normally find on roofs and drives around Adur, and what yours is likely to need before anything comes off.

It does, and Shoreham-by-Sea is really two jobs in one town. In the historic centre the property is older brick and stone, the roofs are slate or clay tile, and the stacks and lead work are usually where the money needs to go. Coverings there are generally expected to match what is already up, so that is what we price. On the newer estates around the edge the roofs are interlocking concrete tile, the fascias are UPVC and the front is a drive rather than a garden, so it is re-roofs, gutter renewals and block or resin paving. We will tell you which of the two your house is at the estimate.

Yes, and it is the reason a lot of people ring us rather than two separate outfits. Roofing and driveways are both done by the same team, so the scaffold, the skips and the muck away are organised once instead of twice, and there is one number to ring if anything needs sorting. On a house in Shoreham-by-Sea needing both, doing them together is normally cheaper and always quicker than booking them apart.

Shoreham-by-Sea is around 6 miles from Brighton, so getting out to measure and quote is quick. When we can actually start depends on the diary and, for roofing, on the weather, which is normally a few weeks out. We would rather give you a real date than a hopeful one, so ring and we will tell you where the next honest slot is.
