Roofers in Midhurst

Midhurst is a small market town in the heart of the South Downs National Park, about 30 minutes east of Portsmouth. Period housing dominates and conservation requirements often apply — much of the centre falls within designated conservation areas, and the surrounding villages have a high proportion of listed property. We take Midhurst work that warrants the travel — typically re-roofs, chimney projects and substantial period repairs.

The town centre has a beautiful concentration of late-medieval, Tudor and Georgian property with hand-made clay tile and natural slate roofs. Repair work here needs to use the right materials and details: hand-made plain tile (often clay peg tile on the older buildings), natural Welsh or Spanish slate where appropriate, code 4/5 lead with proper soakers, lime-based mortars rather than cement. Modern dry-fix ridges look wrong on a 17th-century cottage; we specify traditional sand-and-cement bedding on period work where it is appropriate.

Easebourne and the immediate village fringe have larger Victorian and Edwardian estate property, plus modern infill. We see chimney work, lead-flashing renewal and slate repair as the regular jobs. Some of the larger Edwardian property has substantial chimneys with complex flashing details where proper scaffolding and time matter.

The outlying villages — Stedham, Trotton, Iping, Heyshott — have a mix of brick-and-flint cottages, listed barn conversions, and substantial detached country houses. We are happy to quote on tile, slate and lead work; thatch we leave to specialists.

GU29 quotes typically take 96 hours due to travel and survey time. We do not run emergency single-tile callouts to Midhurst; minimum quoted job size applies. For substantial period work, full re-roofs and chimney projects we travel without surcharge over standard rates and we work to listed-building consent and conservation-officer requirements.

Neighbourhoods we work regularly: Easebourne, Stedham, Trotton, Iping, Heyshott.
