Crawley's roofs tell the story of a new town built fast in the 1950s and 60s: whole neighbourhoods like Northgate and Furnace Green went up with felted flat roofs and shallow-pitched terraces that are now well past their design life. Add exposed wind off the Gatwick-fringe ground at Pound Hill and the older village roofs of Ifield, and our local roofers handle everything from blistered flat roofs to storm-lifted tiles fast.
Crawley is a post-war West Sussex new town built as a ring of distinct neighbourhoods around an older village core, with 1950s-60s council-built housing, later 1980s estates at Maidenbower and Broadfield, and the constant pressure of sitting right against Gatwick Airport.
Enter your postcode and EmergencyLines finds the nearest available roofer to you - day or night, weekends and bank holidays included. You get a number, you call it, and you speak to the roofer directly. No call centre, no middleman, no waiting on hold.
When Crawley roofs tend to fail through the year - and the window to get ahead of it.
These are the roofing callouts we see most across Crawley, shaped by the local housing and weather:
Flat-roof failure on new-town terraces and gatwick-fringe wind tile loss come up again and again here - usually down to the age and style of Crawley's housing. Whatever the cause, the priority is the same: a verified roofer covering West Green, Southgate and the rest of the city can make it safe quickly and tell you the cost before any work begins.
Crawley's roofs are mostly concrete interlocking tiles, with felt flat roofs on extensions and garages - and with 810 mm of rain a year, a slipped tile or a tired flat roof soon turns into a leak.

Pick what's happening and we'll give you the likely cause and the safe first step - then enter your postcode to reach a verified Crawley roofer.
Likely cause: A live leak - usually a slipped tile, failed flashing or blocked valley letting rain track in.
Do this now: Move valuables and put a bucket under it; do not go up on a wet roof. Get a roofer out before more rain.
Likely cause: Nail fatigue or storm uplift has stripped a course, leaving the felt exposed.
Do this now: Stay off the roof and book a temporary cover - especially if more wind or rain is forecast.
Likely cause: Felt or EPDM has split at a seam, or the falls have sagged so water stands and finds the joint.
Do this now: Clear any obvious debris from the outlet; get the seam patched before it tracks inside.
Likely cause: A blockage or a failed joint is sending water down the wall instead of the downpipe.
Do this now: Note where it spills; a roofer can clear and reseal it quickly before it soaks the wall.
Likely cause: The lead flashing or soakers around the stack have lifted or corroded.
Do this now: Catch any internal drip and book a roofer - flashing leaks rarely fix themselves.
A few minutes of prep can limit the damage and get you sorted faster once the roofer is on the way:

In Crawley, flat-roof failure on new-town terraces and gatwick-fringe wind tile loss top the list - often down to the city's older housing stock. Describe what's happening on the call and your roofer arrives prepared.
No - it costs nothing to enquire. You only pay once you've spoken to the roofer, agreed the work and it's complete. There's no charge just to find out who's available near you in Crawley.
Yes. The felted flat roofs on 1950s-60s terraces and maisonettes in Northgate, Furnace Green and Gossops Green are a common Crawley problem, and they blister, split and leak as the original coverings age. We carry out emergency patching to stop water tracking into rooms below, and can advise on full warm-roof recovering. We work across every neighbourhood and the older Ifield village core too.
We do. The open ground around the airport leaves Pound Hill, Maidenbower and the eastern neighbourhoods exposed to strong gusts that lift loosely-fixed tiles and ridge sections off post-war roofs. We respond quickly to make roofs weathertight, refit or replace displaced tiles, and re-secure ridges and flashings before more water gets in. Temporary covering is available the same day where a full repair must wait for materials.
Yes. Flat-roofed maisonettes across Bewbush, Broadfield and Gossops Green in RH11 commonly leak where ageing asphalt upstands and parapet flashings have cracked or pulled away from the brickwork. We trace the entry point, reseal or relead the parapet detail and check the surrounding flat roof for further failures. We make the area watertight fast, then advise whether a localised repair or a wider recovering is the sensible fix.
