Roof repairs in Lancing, Worthing and Shoreham, done properly.
Slipped tiles, a damp patch on the ceiling, a cracked ridge or a Velux that has started to weep. Simon finds the actual cause, fixes it, and sends you a photo so you know it is done.
Most leaks in Worthing and Lancing start as one loose tile.
A roof rarely fails all at once. A tile slips in a gale, a ridge cracks, a flashing lifts a few millimetres, and water finds its way in a little at a time until a stain appears on the ceiling months later.
Simon has spent over twenty years finding those small faults on Sussex roofs. He gets up there, traces the water back to where it is actually getting in, and repairs that, rather than smearing sealant over the obvious spot and hoping.

Signs your roof needs a look.
A stain on the ceiling
Usually a slipped tile or a failed flashing somewhere above it, and often not directly above.
Tiles in the garden
After wind, tiles that have lifted or slipped need replacing before the felt underneath wears through.
Daylight in the loft
Torch off, lights off. If you can see daylight through the roof, water can get in the same way.
A roof window that drips
Perished seals or lifted flashing around a Velux are a quick fix caught early.

How much does a roof repair cost?
It depends on what is actually wrong, which is why Simon looks first and quotes in writing before any work starts. Quotes are free and there is no call-out charge for the visit.
Can you fix a leak the same day?
Where a roof is letting water in, S&K offers 24 hour emergency call-outs across Lancing, Worthing and Shoreham-by-Sea to make it safe and dry, with the full repair booked in straight after.
Do you fit and repair Velux windows?
Yes. Fitting Velux and other roof windows into tiled and slate roofs is a regular job for S&K, as is resealing or re-flashing existing ones that have started to leak.
Will I need a whole new roof?
Usually not. Most of the roofs Simon is called to need a repair, not a replacement, and he will tell you honestly which yours is. If a re-roof really is the better value, he will explain why.
