Local roofing specialists serving Findon and the BN14 postcode. Period flint and stone cottages, Georgian and Victorian village stock, 20th cent. Free quotes, no call-out fee.
Findon sits in downland: it is a downland village of period flint and stone cottages, Georgian and Victorian stock, with 20th-century infill. Most properties carry clay peg tile and natural slate over lime-bedded flint walls. From the village around The Square through the cottages off Nepcote Lane to the stock near Findon Place, the pattern holds.
At over 70 metres on the South Downs escarpment, Findon sees significantly higher wind speeds and harder frost cycles than coastal Worthing — exposure, not salt, is the defining factor here. In practice, the storm and emergency calls we get most are storm-lifted tiles, active leaks in driven rain and dislodged ridge tiles. In Findon, that means downland-grade work — lime mortar on flint and ridge and hip detailing built for genuine wind exposure.
Call 01903 905 128 at any time. We pick up on genuine emergencies — no answering machine. We ask where you are, what you're seeing, and how urgent the situation is.
For active leaks and structural damage we aim for same-day attendance. We carry the most common tile profiles on the van for first-visit repair rather than leaving a tarpaulin.
We make the roof weatherproof first, then assess the full scope. You get a clear explanation on site and a written quote for any follow-on permanent repair work.
