Roof Leak Repair in Arundel

Roof Leak Repair in Arundel

A roof leak is never just a cosmetic problem. Left even a few days, water ingress can rot timber, saturate insulation, promote mould growth, and cause serious structural damage. West Sussex Roofing specialise in tracing and fixing roof leaks quickly and accurately — no guesswork, no unnecessary stripping back. We use a systematic inspection process to identify the true source of the ingress (which is often not directly above the drip point inside). Common causes we repair include cracked or slipped tiles, failed lead flashing around chimneys and dormers, broken valley troughs, deteriorated felt, and blocked or damaged guttering causing overflow into the fascia. We carry out all work to a watertight standard and test thoroughly before leaving site.

About Arundel

Arundel is one of West Sussex's most distinctive towns — dominated by its medieval castle and Gothic cathedral, with a dense concentration of listed buildings and conservation-area properties that require specialist roofing expertise and careful attention to planning requirements. The town sits in the Arun valley at the foot of the South Downs, creating a sheltered microclimate that nevertheless experiences high rainfall funnelled along the valley corridor from the south-west. Working on heritage properties in Arundel requires knowledge of traditional materials and techniques that not all roofers possess. Natural Welsh slate, plain clay tiles, stone slates, and lime mortar pointing are all common requirements in the older streets, and any repair or replacement work on listed buildings must use appropriate matching materials and — in many cases — receive prior approval from the local planning authority. West Sussex Roofing have extensive experience navigating these requirements and can advise on appropriate routes from the outset. We cover all of Arundel and the Arun valley including Ford, Yapton, Walberton, and the surrounding villages. We provide free written surveys, planning guidance where relevant, and fixed-price quotations for all roofing work from conservation-area repairs to full modern replacements on newer properties.
