Predominantly 1930s–1950s detached and semi-detached residential, seafront bungalow fringe. The dominant roofing issues in Goring-by-Sea are: Widespread nail sickness on 1930s concrete tile; flat roof failure on seafront bungalows; hipped roof lead work on detached properties.
Direct south-westerly exposure from the English Channel; properties south of the A259 in prime salt air zone. We apply appropriate coastal-grade materials and specification on every Goring-by-Sea job as standard — not as a premium upcharge.
Salt air attacks mortar joints through subflorescence — salt crystals forming within the mortar matrix and expanding it from inside. Prevailing south-westerlies drive moisture into south and west-facing stack faces at rates that inland chimneys never experience. Combined with elevated UV on the south coast, Worthing area chimneys deteriorate faster than equivalent inland stacks and warrant inspection on a 3-year rather than 5-year cycle.
Repointing Victorian or Edwardian chimneys with standard cement is one of the most common and damaging mistakes on period properties. Cement is harder than the surrounding brick, traps moisture and causes spalling — brick face loss — within a few years. We carry hydraulic lime as standard for all pre-1930 work.

We access the chimney directly — from the roof level, not binoculars from the garden. We check mortar condition on all four faces, lead flashing integrity, flaunching, and pot stability.
Properties built before approximately 1930 require hydraulic lime for repointing. Post-1930 standard hydraulic cement is appropriate. We carry both materials and apply the correct one without needing instruction.
Uncapped stacks in coastal conditions allow year-round water ingress. We fit breathable half-cowl caps that prevent water entry while maintaining airflow and preventing stack deterioration.
