Roof Repairs Lancing

What Roof Repairs in Lancing Typically Involve

Tile and Slate Repairs

The dominant repair call from North Lancing's Victorian and Edwardian stock is individual slate replacement on properties along Upper Brighton Road and North Road. Original Welsh blue slate with corroded iron nail fixings occasionally slips without warning — we match the slate profile and re-fix using stainless steel hooks or copper nails as appropriate. On the South Lancing 1950s–60s estates including Penhill Road and Manor Road, the call is almost always concrete interlocking tile: either isolated breakage or the early stages of nail sickness presenting as a single displaced tile before wider loosening develops.

Lead Flashing Repairs

Lead flashing failure is the second most common repair type in BN15. Salt air from the English Channel and from the Adur estuary to the west attacks lead at a faster rate than inland — we see chimney apron and soaker failures on properties that are only 30–40 years old in Lancing, which would be unusual 10 miles inland. We carry Code 4 lead sheet on the van for same-visit chimney and abutment repairs.

Ridge and Hip Repairs

Ridge tile mortar failure is common across all Lancing housing eras. The combination of thermal cycling and coastal wind exposure makes ridge mortar joints deteriorate faster than comparable inland properties. We use flexible ridge mortar with appropriate additives for exposed coastal positions — standard rigid cement mortar cracks within a few years on Lancing rooflines.
