Post-war 1950s–1970s residential estate on the lower Downs fringe, 25–45m elevation. Above coastal plain; moderate wind exposure; north-facing slopes see above-avera. Free quotes, no call-out fee across BN13.
Hill Barn is a post-war estate: a post-war residential estate from the 1950s to 1970s on the lower Downs fringe, between 25 and 45 metres. Roofs here are typically concrete interlocking tile now 55 to 75 years old, with nail sickness developing across the estate. the estate off Hill Barn Lane, the streets near the recreation ground and the higher ground toward Salvington all show it.
Above the coastal plain with moderate wind exposure, Hill Barn's north-facing slopes see above-average moss accumulation — the estate's defining maintenance issue alongside ageing concrete tile. Day to day, the storm and emergency calls we get most are storm-lifted tiles, active leaks in driven rain and dislodged ridge tiles. In Hill Barn, that means estate-scale work — nail-sickness re-fixing and soft moss removal matched to post-war concrete tile.
We aim for same-day attendance on all active leaks and structural damage. Call any time — 24 hours a day.
The priority is making the roof weatherproof. We carry the most common tile profiles on the van for first-visit repair rather than leaving a tarpaulin.
Storm damage is typically covered under buildings insurance. We provide written damage reports for your insurer at no extra charge.
