Roofers in Haywards Heath

Victorian villas and what they were built with

The railway-era housing around Muster Green and the older roads is generous stuff — steep pitches, decorative bargeboards, clay tile and Welsh slate, complicated junctions and more valleys than a modern house has. Those junctions are where the work is. Anything with that many changes of direction has that many places for lead to fail, and they are rarely visible from the ground.

Wooded plots, and the price of them

The mature trees that make these roads attractive also fill the valleys and gutters every autumn, keep whole slopes permanently damp and shaded, and drop debris onto the covering all year. Moss establishes easily. Clearing before winter is worth more here than almost any other maintenance we do.

No salt, and no pretending otherwise

This is inland Sussex and corrosion is not the issue. The pressures are rainfall, shade and frost. If you have been quoted for a full coastal specification in RH16, ask what it is actually protecting against — and if the answer is thin, ring us for a second opinion.
