At Safeguard Contractors, we specialise in professional pitched roof repairs for homes and businesses across Brighton and the surrounding areas, including Hove, Worthing, Lewes, Eastbourne, and Haywards Heath. Pitched roofs are one of the most durable and traditional roofing styles used throughout the UK, but over time, even the strongest structures can suffer from wear and damage caused by weather, age, or general deterioration.
Our highly skilled team has years of experience working with all types of pitched roofs, from traditional clay tiles and natural slate to modern interlocking and concrete designs. We offer reliable, efficient, and cost-effective repairs to restore your roof’s integrity, appearance, and performance—ensuring it continues to protect your property for many years to come.
Whether you’re dealing with a few missing tiles, a persistent leak, or storm-related damage, Safeguard Contractors provides a trusted local service you can depend on.
Why Pitched Roof Repairs Are Important
Your roof is constantly exposed to harsh weather conditions—wind, rain, frost, and sunlight all take their toll over time. Even a small crack or missing tile can allow water to penetrate, leading to damp, rot, or structural issues. Promptly repairing your pitched roof not only prevents more serious problems but also helps maintain your property’s value and energy efficiency.
Common signs that your pitched roof may need repair include:
- Missing, broken, or slipped tiles or slates
- Water stains or damp patches on ceilings or walls
- Sagging areas or visible structural movement
- Blocked or overflowing gutters near roof edges
- Daylight visible through your loft or attic
- Moss growth or debris buildup on the roof surface
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s best to arrange a professional inspection. Our Brighton-based team can identify the problem quickly and recommend a lasting solution tailored to your roof.
Tile and Slate Roof Repairs
Broken or missing tiles and slates are among the most common issues with pitched roofs. When this happens, water can quickly seep beneath the surface, causing leaks and damage to the underlay or roof structure.
At Safeguard Contractors, we provide expert tile and slate repairs using carefully matched materials to ensure a seamless finish. Whether your roof is covered in clay, concrete, or natural slate, we can restore its appearance and strength efficiently.
We also carry out re-tiling where necessary, replacing larger sections that have deteriorated due to age or poor installation. Our attention to detail ensures every tile is aligned and securely fixed to withstand future weather conditions.

Our Repair Process
We maintain clear communication throughout the process, keeping you informed at every stage and ensuring your full satisfaction.
Ridge and Hip Tile Repairs
Ridge and hip tiles run along the top and edges of your pitched roof, helping to keep the structure watertight. Over time, the mortar securing these tiles can deteriorate, allowing water to penetrate and loosen the tiles.
Our team offers professional re-bedding and repointing services to repair or replace ridge and hip tiles using modern materials designed for strength and flexibility. This not only restores your roof’s protection but also enhances its appearance.
Leak Detection and Roof Valley Repairs
Pitched roofs often develop leaks around roof valleys—where two roof slopes meet—or near flashing, chimneys, and vents. Our roofers use advanced leak detection techniques to pinpoint the source of the issue quickly and accurately.
Once identified, we repair or replace damaged lead flashing, valley liners, and sealant to stop leaks permanently. Our repairs are completed to the highest standard, ensuring complete waterproofing and long-term protection against future water ingress.
Storm Damage Repairs
Strong winds and heavy rain can cause tiles to lift, flashings to tear, and gutters to detach. We provide fast-response storm damage repairs to make your roof safe and watertight again.
Our emergency repair service ensures any immediate risks are dealt with quickly, followed by permanent repairs once conditions allow. We also offer insurance-approved documentation to help with claims where required.
Commercial and Residential Roofing Specialists
Structural and Timber Repairs
If leaks or age have affected the underlying roof structure, our team can also repair or replace damaged timbers, rafters, and battens. Structural repairs are carried out with care to maintain the stability of your roof while restoring its original shape and strength.
We use only high-quality treated timber and modern fixings to ensure lasting durability. Whether your property is a period home or a newer build, we’ll provide a solution that respects its construction and style.
