Rustington is a Victorian and Edwardian village centre, large 1960s–70s estates in East Rustington, and seafront bungalows toward Sea Lane. The prevailing stock is lead-and-lime heritage detailing in the centre and ageing concrete tile across the post-war estates. You'll find it on the village centre, the East Rustington estates and the seafront off Sea Lane alike.
East of Littlehampton in BN16, Rustington sees the Arun valley channel easterly wind on top of the standard south-westerly exposure, with above-average humidity on lower ground. On this stock, the repairs we are called to most are slipped and cracked tiles, perished ridge and hip mortar and failed lead flashings. That is the standard we bring to every Rustington roof.
We access the roof directly on every repair call — no ground-level estimates. We identify the primary failure and assess the surrounding area for any secondary issues.
On properties over 65 years old we tell you if the evidence suggests the roof is approaching end of economic repair life. You get the full picture before committing to cost.
We carry the most common tile and slate profiles for this area. In the majority of cases the repair is completed on the first visit — no temporary cover while we source materials.
