How our roofers work.
Most roofing worries start with something small: a damp patch on a bedroom ceiling, a slate on the lawn, a gutter spilling down the wall. The hard part is knowing what is actually wrong, and whether you are being told the truth about it. That is the part we have built the business around.
Before anyone quotes, we fly a drone over the roof and photograph every slope, the ridge, the valleys, the chimney and the gutters. You get the photos with the problems marked and a plain-English note of what we found. Nobody climbs on your roof to look, and nobody pressures you on the doorstep.
Then you get a written quote. It says what we will do, which materials we will use and how long it should take. If a repair will do the job, we say so. If the roof is at the end of its life, we show you why with the photos, and you can take them to another roofer if you want a second opinion.
When the work is done, you get before and after photos and your guarantee in writing. If we spot a problem with the gutters while we are up there, we photograph it and tell you.
We work on all kinds of homes, from Victorian terraces with natural slate to 1930s semis with clay tiles and modern estates with concrete tiles and flat-roofed extensions. Our home patch is Sussex, Surrey, Kent and London, and we cover everywhere south of Birmingham on request.

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…

Questions people ask roofers.
Anything else, just call. You'll speak to someone who knows roofs.
Call us07888 868356Is the drone roof survey really free?
Yes. The drone survey, the photos and the written findings are free, and you keep them whether or not you book any work with us. We would rather you made a clear decision with good information than felt pushed into one. If you need a second opinion, you are welcome to show the photos to another roofer.
Do you need to go on my roof to look?
No. The drone photographs every slope, the ridge, the chimney and the gutters from the air, so nobody climbs on your roof until work has been agreed. That keeps the survey safe and quick, and it means fragile slates and tiles are not walked on just to find out what is wrong with them.
Will you tell me if I only need a repair?
Yes. Most roofs need a repair rather than a new roof, and we will tell you so. If we think a replacement is the better choice, we show you the reasons in the survey photos: tiles that are failing across several slopes, perished underlay or tired battens. The decision is always yours to make.
Which areas do your roofers cover?
Our home patch is Sussex, Surrey, Kent and London, where we visit most often. We also cover everywhere south of Birmingham on request, including Hampshire, Dorset and Berkshire. Put your postcode into the checker on our areas page, or call us, and we will confirm on the call whether we can get to you.
See your roof clearly. It costs nothing.
Schedule a call back and talk it through. The drone survey is free if you need one.
