See asbestos roof removalSigns your roof needs a roofer
Roof trouble nearly always shows itself inside the house long before anything falls off the outside.
Slipped or missing slates
A gap in the slates lets rain straight onto the felt and battens. If you can spot one from the street, get it looked at before the next wet spell.
Damp patches on ceilings
A brown ring on a bedroom ceiling or a musty smell in the loft means water is getting past the roof covering, and not always right above the stain.
Split or lifting lead
Lead around chimneys and dormers that has cracked, lifted or been patched with mastic is one of the commonest ways water gets into Brighton houses.
Moss and blocked gutters
Heavy moss holds water against the tiles, then washes down into the gutters so they overflow and soak the walls below.
A sagging roof line
A ridge that dips or a slope that looks wavy points to tired timbers or battens underneath, and swapping a few tiles won't cure it.
How Sure Seal sort your roof
Jamie or one of the team comes out, looks at the roof properly and puts the drone up so you see the same photos we do. You get a written quote that says what's wrong, what we'll do and what it costs, with no call-out charge and no deposit. If a repair will do the job, we quote a repair. If the roof is past saving, we show you why with the pictures rather than asking you to take our word for it.
On the day, the crew protects your garden, driveway and plants before anything comes off the roof. We work in the right order: strip, check the timbers and battens, fix what's underneath, then make the covering watertight. Every scrap of waste goes in our van, not your bin. Customers keep mentioning the tidy-up in their reviews, and we're proud of that. Then we walk you round the finished job, with photos of the parts you can't see from the ground.

Roofing built for Brighton weather
Brighton throws everything at a roof. South-westerly gales drive rain sideways off the Channel, and the salt in that air eats into mortar, fixings and old nails faster than it does inland. The city's Regency and Victorian terraces carry natural slate behind parapet walls, with hidden valley gutters that fill with leaves and overflow into bedrooms. Out towards Whitehawk, Moulsecoomb and Hollingbury, post-war houses sit under concrete tiles. Across Sussex it changes again, from Horsham stone to Wealden clay, and we work on all of it.

Reviews from real Sure Seal customers
We had an issue with a leak coming from our chimney and on getting up there realised our flat roof had been installed poorly. Brendan was so professional throughout, talking us through everything and not pressuring us to make quick decisions regarding the repair. His team were very efficient and got the job done in 2 days. Brendan kept me updated throughout the job, sending photos of the work. His team left the place spotless, even washing down the roof on completion. Having had a few quotes from some rather suspect companies, these guys are so genuine and clearly take pride in doing the job well. Would recommend and call again if needed.
Great service for flat & tiled roof repair. Professional and knowledgeable advice on works required. Good management which gave quick response and completion of works required.
If you have any roofing work or repairs to be done, then look no further than Sureseal Roofing & Guttering. I have found William and his team to be responsive & professional. They were able to address all my queries and advise wherever necessary. Most importantly their standard of finished work measured upto what had been committed, as well as my expectations of high quality. I whole-heartedly recommend their work.
Had Jamie and the team out sort a leak on my roof fast reliable and even cleaned up and took away the waste would highly recommend them and even beat a previous quote I had got
Amazing company. Came out quickly, quoted and fixed an issue with a leak in my roof. Friendly team and excellent service.
I had an issue with my roof. There was a slight leak. It turned out to be a major issue. I called multiple companies they were asking for substantial amount of money. Some of them even mention that I have to replace the whole roof but this company has turned up and sorted out with a very minor issues and Very cost efficient. I highly recommend them
What decides the cost of roofing work
No two roofs cost the same, and anyone quoting a price over the phone without seeing yours is guessing. The biggest swing is access: a terrace with a parapet front, no side access and a narrow street for the scaffold costs more to reach than a bungalow. After that it comes down to how much of the roof is involved, what it's covered in and what we find underneath once it's open.
What sets the price
- Size and pitch of the roof
- Scaffold and access
- Slate, tile or flat covering
- Condition of battens and timbers
- Chimneys, lead and valleys
- Waste to remove
No surprises: the price on your written quote is the price you pay. No deposit.

Roofing questions
What roofing work do you cover?
Everything from a single cracked tile to a complete new roof. That includes pitched and flat roofs, slate and tile, leadwork, chimneys, conservatory roofs, asbestos garage roofs, moss removal, roof coating, insulation and timber repairs. We also fit uPVC fascias, soffits, gutters and downpipes, so one firm can sort the whole roof line in one go rather than you chasing three trades.
What does a quote from you cost?
Nothing. The quote is free, the call-out is free and the drone survey that comes with it is free. You get a written price and photos of your roof, and you're under no obligation to go ahead. We'd rather earn the job by showing you exactly what's wrong than by charging you to find out.
Do I have to pay a deposit?
No. There's no deposit on any job, big or small, so you never hand over money before work starts. Plenty of people in Brighton have been burned by a roofer who took a deposit and vanished, and we'd rather you never had to take that risk with us.
Which parts of Sussex do you cover?
All of East and West Sussex, from our base in Brighton. That takes in Hove, Worthing, Shoreham, Lewes, Seaford, Eastbourne and Hastings along the coast, Crawley, Horsham, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and East Grinstead inland, and Chichester and Bognor Regis to the west. If you're in Sussex, we come to you.
Is your roofing work guaranteed?
Yes, every job is fully guaranteed, including the smallest repairs. Replacing one slipped tile gets the same guarantee as a new roof. If something we've done isn't right, ring us and we come back and put it right. That's the whole point of a guarantee, and it's why we don't cut corners on the small jobs either.
How do I pick a roofer I can trust in Brighton?
Check real reviews, get the quote in writing and never pay a deposit to someone you've just met. Our own record stands at 5.0 from 51 Google reviews and 5.0 from 213 ratings on Yell. Ask to see photos of the problem before agreeing to any work, which is exactly why our drone survey comes free.
