Roofing in Brighton: what we actually see
Salt, wind and gulls: the Brighton trinity. Salt-laden air corrodes nail fixings and eats cheap flashings years ahead of schedule, southwesterly gales test every verge and ridge, and the city's famous gulls genuinely do lift and shift loose tiles and peck at soft mortar. The housing itself is glorious and demanding — steep slate terraces in Hanover, grand bay-fronted villas around Preston Park, Regency crescents with hidden parapet gutters that flood into the rooms below when they block. Brighton roofs need marine-grade thinking: stainless and copper fixings, mechanically fixed ridges, and leadwork done properly the first time.
Local knowledge that saves you money
- Coastal spec as standard: stainless fixings, dry-fix ridges and verges, and flashings rated for salt exposure.
- Parapet and valley gutters on Regency and Victorian buildings are our bread and butter — cleared, relined and rebuilt.
- Steep-street access (Hanover, we mean you) is planned properly, with scaffolds and permits arranged for narrow frontages.
