Roofers in Storrington

Sheltered by the ridge, but not from everything

The Downs do a real job on the wind, and there is no meaningful salt at this distance. What the village gets instead is water. The greensand at the foot of the escarpment throws up springs and keeps the ground damp, tree cover is heavy, and north-facing slopes green up readily. Most Storrington roofs need clearing and re-bedding rather than re-covering.

An old core and a large modern edge

The centre has genuinely old fabric on clay peg tile, with tile hanging on elevations and a scattering of listed buildings. Around it sits a great deal of post-war and modern housing on concrete and clay interlocking tile. They are two entirely different jobs, and the honest answer on the older ones is usually to repair in kind rather than to re-cover.

Trees, and what they do every autumn

Valleys and gutters here fill comprehensively with leaf fall, and overhanging branches keep whole slopes permanently damp. The single most useful thing most customers can do is have the gutters and valleys cleared before winter rather than after the first overflow.
