Local roofing specialists serving Tarring and the BN13 postcode. Pre-Norman village — oldest settlement in Worthing; flint and stone. Free quotes, no call-out fee.
Tarring stands apart: it is the oldest settlement in Worthing — a pre-Norman village of flint and stone cottages ranging from medieval through to Victorian, much of it inside a designated conservation area. Most properties carry clay peg tile and natural slate over aged flint and stone walls. We work across the historic High Street, the cottages around St Andrew's and the older lanes of West Tarring.
At around 2.5km from the coast Tarring sees less direct salt spray than the seafront, but its conservation-area status shapes every repair. On this stock, the storm and emergency calls we get most are storm-lifted tiles, active leaks in driven rain and dislodged ridge tiles. Every emergency job in Tarring gets conservation-grade work — hydraulic lime repointing and, where materials change, conservation-officer approval before we start.
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.
