Local roofing specialists serving Rustington and the BN16 postcode. Victorian and Edwardian village centre, large 1960s–70s East Rustington estates,. Free quotes, no call-out fee.
Victorian and Edwardian village centre, large 1960s–70s East Rustington estates, seafront bungalows on Sea Road. The dominant roofing issues in Rustington are: Nail sickness developing on 1960s–70s East Rustington estate stock; Edwardian village centre lead and lime mortar requirements; Arun valley wind channelling on eastern properties.
BN16 east of Littlehampton; Arun valley creates easterly wind channelling adding to south-westerly exposure; above-average humidity from estuarine proximity. We apply appropriate coastal-grade materials and specification on every Rustington job as standard — not as a premium upcharge.
Lead has a design life of 60+ years in neutral conditions. In coastal West Sussex, chloride ions in sea air attack the zinc that forms the protective patina, stripping it faster than the natural carbonate replacement rate. Effective lifespan on south and south-west facing faces drops to 40–50 years. We apply Code 4 as a minimum (not Code 3 as used inland) to extend service life in the coastal zone.
Surface crystalline deposit on lead (white zinc carbonate forming where protection is breaking down), visible cracking at lap joints, lifting at dressed edges, and damp patches on internal chimney breast walls are all indicators of failing lead that warrants inspection before water damage occurs.

We inspect all lead junctions before quoting — chimney faces, valleys, abutments, dormers. On coastal properties we check for salt oxidation damage, joint opening and dimensional change from thermal cycling.
Code 4 for chimney and abutment work; Code 5 for valleys and perimeter upstands. All lead hand-dressed on site — no adhesive alternatives on any coastal property in our coverage area.
New lead is treated with patination oil as standard — accelerating the protective carbonate layer, preventing white staining on adjacent tiles, and providing additional surface protection in the initial oxidation phase.
