Emergency Roofer in Lancing

Lancing's position east of the River Adur gives it direct south-westerly exposure from the English Channel, and coastal storms regularly cause tile loss on the south-facing slopes of the 1950s estate housing across South Lancing. We attend emergency calls in Lancing regularly, particularly after storms arriving from the south-west between October and March.

Most emergency calls in Lancing are tile-loss or sudden leak events that require same-day attendance to make the roof safe. We carry a stock of the most common tile profiles for the Lancing area to make repairs on the first visit where possible, rather than leaving a tarpaulin and booking a return visit.

North Lancing properties with original Victorian and Edwardian roofing are more vulnerable to sudden catastrophic failure than the newer estate stock — nib-hung clay tiles with original nib fixings can fail simultaneously across a whole elevation in a severe gale. We prioritise these properties on emergency call-outs.

Common Emergency Roof Situations in Lancing

Lancing's south-westerly exposure makes certain emergency situations more common here than further inland. The large 1950s and 1960s estate housing across South Lancing — Manor Road, Penhill Road, the streets running east off the A2031 — has concrete interlocking tile now 60–70 years old. Ageing nail fixings mean a sustained gale can displace tiles in sections rather than individually. The Victorian and Edwardian semi-detached properties on North Lancing ridge, including the streets off Upper Brighton Road and North Road, have original clay or slate that can fail suddenly when nibs or fixings are near end of life.

The River Adur on the western boundary of BN15 also plays a role: properties on the Adur flood plain in the Riverside Industrial area and the older residential stock near the river experience higher ambient humidity, which accelerates the rot in fascia boards and timber verge boards. These sometimes cause secondary roof problems when rotten timber allows water to track into the roof void.

After a Storm in Lancing

If you've experienced a south-westerly storm, do a visual check from ground level before calling. Displaced ridge tiles, lifted sections of interlocking tile on south-facing slopes, and debris at the base of the roof are all signs you need us out. Don't wait for a ceiling stain — by then, the felt underlay has already been wet for hours. Call 01903 905 128 as soon as you spot a problem.
