Local roofing specialists serving Ferring and the BN12 postcode. 1930s–1940s village residential, direct seafront shingle strip bungalows. Free quotes, no call-out fee.
1930s–1940s village residential, direct seafront shingle strip bungalows. The dominant roofing issues in Ferring are: Direct seafront exposure — most exposed position in BN12; wind uplift severe on south-facing slopes; flat roof felt fails rapidly.
Sits directly on the shingle with no upwind shelter; south-westerly gales hit Ferring at full channel strength with no terrain break. We apply appropriate coastal-grade materials and specification on every Ferring job as standard — not as a premium upcharge.
Standard RICS surveys inspect from the ground or from a loft hatch. This consistently misses nail sickness on concrete tile (invisible without direct access), lead condition on chimney back gutters, and batten rot from prolonged felt failure. We routinely find significant defects on properties that have received satisfactory comments in professional surveys.
We carry out pre-purchase roof inspections across the BN postcode area. The written report includes cost estimates for all identified defects — designed to give buyers documented evidence for renegotiation where genuine problems are found. The inspection fee is deducted from any subsequent work. Call 01903 905 128.

We access every roof directly — not from a loft hatch or from the ground with binoculars. This is the only way to reliably assess nail fixing status, lead condition and batten integrity.
We inspect all tile or slate surfaces, all lead flashings, ridge and hip mortar, valleys, gutters, fascias, soffits and chimneys. We photograph every defect found.
You receive a written report rating each finding by urgency: immediate action, 1–3 year timeframe, or 3–5 year planned maintenance. Pre-purchase reports include realistic cost estimates for negotiation.
