Salt air, coastal winds and heavy leaf fall mean East Sussex gutters need more attention.
We recommend every 3–5 years for most properties, or after any significant storm. Coastal properties in Meads, Seaford and Sovereign Harbour benefit from more frequent checks.
Nail sickness on 1930s–70s concrete tile, lead flashing failure from salt air, ridge mortar failure on exposed elevations, and flat roof failures on 1970s–80s extensions.
We do not charge a call-out fee for any work in Eastbourne or across East Sussex. Emergency attendance, surveys and quotes are all free.
All work carries our written 10-year workmanship guarantee. GRP flat roofs carry an additional 25-year product guarantee from the manufacturer.
Look for NFRC registration, verifiable local Google reviews, and a roofer who provides written quotes and guarantees. Be cautious of unsolicited cold callers.
