Roof Leak Repair in Boxgrove

Roof Leak Repair in Boxgrove

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 Boxgrove

Boxgrove is a small village just outside Chichester, built up around the remains of Boxgrove Priory, and its older housing reflects that heritage — flint and stone cottages, several Listed, clustered close to the priory church, with more conventional 20th-century housing on the village's edges. Working on the period buildings around the priory means matching traditional materials and respecting the conservation-area constraints that come with a village of this historic significance; a straightforward like-for-like retile is rarely as simple as it sounds once you're dealing with flint walls and irregular period roof timbers underneath. Boxgrove sits right at the point where the flat coastal plain meets the rising chalk of the South Downs, which means the village gets slightly more exposed, changeable weather than Chichester itself just a couple of miles south. On the newer housing away from the historic core, roofing work here is much more straightforward — standard tile replacement, guttering, and maintenance. West Sussex Roofing serve Boxgrove, Chichester, and Tangmere, with free surveys and fixed-price quotations for both heritage and modern roofing work.
