I cannot speak highly enough of Clearline Roofing & Drainage. From the very first call through to the final tidying up, the whole team were absolutely excellent — professional, polite, punctual, and a credit to their trade. We had a combination of roof repairs and drainage issues needing attention, and they handled everything with real expertise and care. They took the time to explain exactly what work was needed, kept us fully informed…

Roofers in Brighton: what local roofs need.
Brighton and Hove has more period housing than most of Sussex. Regency and Victorian terraces run from Kemp Town to Brunswick Town, many with slate roofs, parapet walls and hidden valley gutters behind them. Further out, in Patcham, Hollingbury and Woodingdean, most homes are interwar and post-war under concrete or clay tiles.
Large parts of the city are conservation areas, including Regency Square, Brunswick Town and East Cliff, and the council publishes a street-by-street directory. On those streets we repair like for like, in natural slate and lead, and we tell you before work starts if anything needs the council’s approval.
Being on the coast is hard on roofs. Salt air and south-westerly gales work at ridge tiles, chimney flashing and the joints in lead, and hidden valley gutters on terraces silt up and overflow into the top floor. A drone roof survey shows the slopes, valleys and chimneys close up without scaffolding.
Older streets also have older drains. Clay pipes, shared runs between terraced houses and the roots of street trees are behind most of the repeat blockages we see. A CCTV drain survey shows whether a blockage was a one-off or a sign of a cracked or displaced pipe.
Flat roofs are common here too, on back extensions, dormers and the flat tops of Victorian bay windows. Felt that has cracked or blistered lets water into the room below long before anything shows outside. We repair a flat roof where the deck is sound and renew it where it is not; the options are on our flat roofs page.
If you have spray foam in the loft, start with a spray foam inspection. We tell you what type of foam it is, what condition the timbers are in and whether it needs to come out, in writing and with photos, before anyone quotes for removal. If it does need to come out, the report shows you why.
Brighton is where most of our work comes from, and it is in our home patch along with Hove, Portslade, Lewes and Shoreham. Our recent jobs here include roof repairs with drainage work, emergency roofing, a conservatory roof conversion and a new roof after spray foam removal.
Brighton questions.
Anything else, just call. You'll speak to someone who knows roofs.
Call us07888 868356Do you cover all of Brighton and Hove?
Yes. Brighton and Hove is in our home patch, across BN1, BN2, BN3 and BN41, from Portslade to Rottingdean and from the seafront up to Patcham. We also work in Lewes, Shoreham and the villages around the city. The survey is free, and the photos and findings are yours to keep even if you decide not to go ahead.
Can you work on homes in a conservation area?
Yes. On conservation area and listed homes we repair like for like, matching slate, tiles and lead to what is already there. If a change needs the council’s approval, such as a different roof covering, we tell you before any work starts so you can check with Brighton & Hove City Council first.
Why does my top-floor ceiling get damp after heavy rain?
On terraced houses it is often a blocked or worn valley gutter hidden behind the parapet, rather than the roof slope itself. Leaves and silt build up, water backs up under the slates and finds its way into the top floor. Clearing and relining the valley usually fixes it, and the drone survey shows us where to look.
How soon can you come out?
Call us and we will give you the next available slot for a survey. If water is coming in now, we treat it as a priority, and the first job is making the roof safe and watertight. The permanent repair is then planned and quoted in writing once we know the cause.
