1930s–1960s interwar semi-detached and detached estate housing. Direct south-westerly Channel exposure; full salt air loading. Free quotes, no call-out fee across BN11.
West Worthing is 1930s to 1960s interwar semi-detached and detached estate housing. The prevailing stock is concrete interlocking tile now 65 to 95 years old, with widespread nail sickness developing. We work across the interwar semis off Tarring Road, the streets toward the seafront and the stock near West Worthing station.
Facing direct south-westerly Channel exposure, West Worthing takes full salt-air loading on its south-facing elevations — which is where the lead chimney flashings and ridge mortar fail first. Day to day, 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 West Worthing gets interwar-stock spec — nail-sickness re-fixing and lead chimney flashing renewal on salt-exposed elevations.
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.
