Horsham roofs run from Georgian and Victorian slate in the old centre - and the heavy Horsham stone slabs on the oldest roofs - to inter-war tile at Holbrook and modern tile out at Broadbridge Heath. Old fixings and rotten pegs let tiles and slabs slip, wind off the open Weald strips courses at Highwood, chimney flashing pulls loose on the period houses, and one slipped tile across RH12 or RH13 can soak a ceiling within hours of a storm.
Horsham is a West Sussex market town with a Georgian and Victorian core, Victorian and Edwardian terraces, inter-war and post-war semis spreading through Roffey and Littlehaven, and large modern new-build at Broadbridge Heath and the western expansion. The Southern Water supply runs hard, the Wealden clay holds water and shifts in the dry summers, and scaled boilers, tired roofs and dated boards drive most of the work across RH12 and RH13.
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 Horsham roofs tend to fail through the year - and the window to get ahead of it.
These are the roofing callouts we see most across Horsham, shaped by the local housing and weather:
Slipped tiles and slates on Victorian terraces and chimney flashing failure on period houses come up again and again here - usually down to the age and style of Horsham's housing. Whatever the cause, the priority is the same: a verified roofer covering Broadbridge Heath, Southwater and the rest of the city can make it safe quickly and tell you the cost before any work begins.
Horsham's roofs are mostly natural slate pitches with lead valleys and flashings; clay-tile pitches and bay-window roofs; concrete interlocking tiles, with felt flat roofs on extensions and garages - and with 820 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 Horsham 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:

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 Horsham.
The oldest Horsham roofs are clad in heavy Horsham stone slabs hung on oak pegs that rot after a century or more, and a slipped slab is heavy and awkward, so it is a job for a roofer experienced with them rather than a quick fix. They can re-hang or replace the slab and check the surrounding pegs and battens so more do not follow across RH12.
On the open ground around Broadbridge Heath and Highwood, wind gets under loosely-nailed tiles and can strip a course in one gust, leaving the felt and battens open to the next downpour. It is worth getting it covered quickly before water reaches the loft. A roofer can refix the run and check the surrounding tiles are still sound across RH12.
On the Georgian and Victorian houses in the old centre the lead flashing is bedded into the brickwork with mortar that crumbles after decades, and once the lead lifts, rain runs straight down the chimney breast inside. A proper flashing renewal, rather than a smear of sealant, is the lasting fix, and a roofer should check the chimney pointing while access is up across RH13.
