Roofers in Brighton

Roofing and building in Brighton

Brighton is our home base. JFC Roofing and Building is based in Brighton and works throughout the south coast, so the roofs of the city are the ones we know best.

From Kemp Town and Hanover to Preston Park, Withdean and Moulsecoomb, we carry out new roofs, re-roofs, flat roofs, repairs, chimney work, gutters and drives, and we are open 24/7 for emergency call-outs.

Homes and roofs in Brighton

The city has an unusual mix. Regency terraces and squares along the seafront and in Kemp Town have shallow roofs hidden behind parapets, with valley and parapet gutters that need to be kept clear. Steep Victorian streets in Hanover and around the station are lined with bay-fronted terraces, slate roofs and shared chimney stacks. Further out there are interwar semis, post-war estates and plenty of loft conversions with flat-roofed dormers. Much of central Brighton is in conservation areas and many buildings are listed, so let us know at the start if yours is.

Local weather and your roof

Brighton faces the open Channel with the South Downs behind it, so south-westerly gales arrive with little to slow them down. Salt spray works on lead, fixings and gutters, rain is driven hard against chimneys and parapets, and gulls nesting on rooftops leave debris that blocks gutters and outlets.
