Roof Repairs in Worthing
A roof leak isn’t always obvious until water’s already running down your bedroom wall. By then, you’ve got a problem. Jaysways Roofing diagnoses roof leaks quickly, identifies the real cause, and fixes it before water damage spreads.
What is Roof Repairs?
Roof repair covers a range of fixes: replacing cracked tiles, re-bedding loose ridge tiles, repointing mortar, repairing lead flashing, fixing chimney details, replacing valley tiles, or dealing with storm damage.
Most homeowners think a leak on the ceiling means there’s a hole in the roof directly above the leak. Usually wrong. Water travels along timbers and can emerge far from where the problem is. A leak visible downstairs might originate from a failed flashing three metres away, or a cracked tile that channels water under the underlay.
Proper roof repair starts with diagnosis. Find the real problem. Then fix it — not just patch the symptom. Sussex’s weather makes roof repairs common. Winter storms blow tiles loose. Frost damage cracks slate and concrete. Aging mortar in ridge tiles fails.
When Do You Need This Service?
- Water stains on ceilings or walls — classic sign of roof leak; need urgent diagnosis
- Damp patches in loft space — visible water ingress or condensation buildup
- Missing or cracked roof tiles — obvious damage; water will get in if not fixed
- Slipped tiles or slates — tiles out of position, gaps visible along roofline
- Loose or damaged ridge tiles — visible cracking or tiles tilting; mortar failure
- Damaged flashing — around chimneys, valleys, or where roof meets walls
- Storm damage — obvious damage after high winds or heavy snow
- Decayed rafter ends — visible in loft space; structural damage from long-term water ingress
Our Process
Leak Investigation & Diagnosis
We inspect from the roof, inside the loft space, and exterior walls. We identify where water is actually entering, not just where it appears inside.
Root Cause Identification
Is it a single broken tile? Mortar failure in the ridge? Failed flashing? Water tracking along timber? We identify the real cause before quoting a fix.
Quote & Explanation
We explain what we found and why the repair is necessary. No mystery. No upselling. Just the work needed to stop the leak permanently.
Repair Work
We execute the repair: replace tiles, re-bed ridge tiles, repoint mortar, replace flashings, repair valleys, re-lead junctions. Each repair is tailored to the actual problem.
Secondary Damage Assessment
If water has been entering for a while, timber might be soft or damp. We identify secondary damage during repair and quote remedial work if needed.
Insurance Support
If damage is weather-related and covered by your policy, we provide detailed before/after photos and repair quotes to support your claim.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Our Customers Say
“We had a leak that came down inside the bedroom wall for months. The previous roofer couldn’t find it. Jaysways diagnosed it as failed flashing near the chimney, not the roof. One visit, proper fix, leak gone. Should have called them first.”
