We apply Code 4 as a minimum on all coastal Worthing work — not Code 3 as used inland. Salt air attacks the protective patina faster than the natural replacement rate.
All new lead is treated with patination oil as standard — accelerating the protective layer, preventing white staining, and protecting in the initial oxidation phase.
The combination of intense south-coast UV and cold winters creates significant thermal cycling on lead junctions. Hand-dressing with correct lap dimensions is essential.
We climb the roof (or fly a drone on steep/high access) to find the true source — leaks rarely start where the stain appears inside.
You get an itemised price with no call-out fee. We tell you if it's a genuine repair or whether a section is beyond economic repair.
On urgent leaks we make the roof watertight the same visit where we can, then return with materials for the permanent fix.
Matching tiles, Code 4/5 lead to valleys and flashings, flexible modified mortar to ridges — never sand and cement, which cracks and re-fails.
All debris removed, the work photographed, and the repair backed by our workmanship guarantee.
