Post-war 1945–1970 residential estate housing with some interwar infill, gentle rising ground at 25–40m. Moderate elevation above coastal plain; wind exposure above seafront level. Free quotes, no call-out fee across BN14.
Offington is estate country: post-war residential estate housing from 1945 to 1970 with some interwar infill, on gently rising ground at 25 to 40 metres. The prevailing stock is concrete interlocking tile now 55 to 80 years old, with nail sickness developing on the older stock. the estate off Offington Lane, the streets near Offington Avenue and the higher ground toward Durrington all show it.
On rising ground above the coastal plain, Offington sits above seafront level but below the escarpment — moderate, steady wind exposure that works ageing ridge mortar loose over time. Day to day, the storm and emergency calls we get most are storm-lifted tiles, active leaks in driven rain and dislodged ridge tiles. Our Offington approach is post-war estate spec — nail-sickness re-fixing and ridge re-bedding matched to concrete interlocking tile.
We aim for same-day attendance on all active leaks and structural damage. Call any time — 24 hours a day.
The priority is making the roof weatherproof. We carry the most common tile profiles on the van for first-visit repair rather than leaving a tarpaulin.
Storm damage is typically covered under buildings insurance. We provide written damage reports for your insurer at no extra charge.
