Local roofing specialists serving Shoreham-by-Sea and the BN43 postcode. Pre-1900 old town flint and stone, Edwardian terraces on Old Shoreham Road. Free quotes, no call-out fee.
Pre-1900 old town flint and stone, Edwardian terraces on Old Shoreham Road, post-war estates inland, Shoreham Beach direct seafront. The dominant roofing issues in Shoreham-by-Sea are: Lead flashing failure on Edwardian stock; conservation lime mortar requirements in old town; Shoreham Beach extreme salt and UV exposure on flat roofs.
River Adur estuary mouth creates combined coastal and estuarine exposure; south-westerlies amplified through the valley. We apply appropriate coastal-grade materials and specification on every Shoreham-by-Sea job as standard — not as a premium upcharge.
Salt particles from the Channel are hygroscopic — they attract and retain moisture, keeping timber permanently damp rather than allowing it to dry between rain events. South and south-west facing fascias deteriorate 18–24 months faster than north-facing equivalent on the same property. In coastal West Sussex, uPVC replacement is the correct long-term specification for fascias on all exposed elevations.
On any coastal West Sussex property, the south and south-west facing fascia is the priority inspection face. If the south elevation looks borderline, the north elevation will appear fine — but acting on both at once, in a single scaffold visit, is significantly cheaper than two separate jobs.

Before any quote, we assess the rafter feet behind the fascia. Salt air and coastal humidity cause rafter foot rot on coastal properties that is invisible until the fascia is removed. Capping over a rotten rafter foot creates a false economy.
Where timber is structurally sound but surface-deteriorated, uPVC cap-over is faster and cheaper. Where timber has rotted through, full strip-back to rafter foot and new uPVC installation is required.
We fit vented soffit panels on all replacement jobs and check existing cross-ventilation is adequate. In Worthing's elevated coastal humidity, inadequate roof void ventilation causes condensation damage that is invisible until re-roofing.

We check gutters, joints, brackets, downpipes and the fascia behind — the fault is often the fixing, not the gutter itself.
Debris cleared, then we run water through to confirm it flows to the outlet and doesn't pond mid-run.
Re-seal joints and re-fix brackets where sound, or replace tired sections in matching UPVC or aluminium.
Where the timber behind has rotted we replace fascia and soffit so the new guttering has something solid to fix to.
Downpipes cleared or renewed and discharge checked into the gully, so water leaves the building cleanly.
