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.
If less than 20–25% of tiles are affected and the felt and battens are structurally sound, targeted repair is almost always the right answer economically. We give you the honest split between repair and replacement cost at the inspection stage — the decision is yours.
All lead flashing repairs in this coverage area use Code 4 hand-dressed lead — no sealant alternatives on coastal properties where salt air attacks adhesive bonds. Tile fixings use stainless steel on all re-fixed tiles. Mortar joints use flexible coastal additive mix.
