1930s–1960s interwar semi-detached and detached estate housing. Direct south-westerly Channel exposure; full salt air loading. Free quotes, no call-out fee across BN11.
West Worthing is 1930s to 1960s interwar semi-detached and detached estate housing. Expect concrete interlocking tile now 65 to 95 years old, with widespread nail sickness developing across the area. You'll find it on the interwar semis off Tarring Road, the streets toward the seafront and the stock near West Worthing station alike.
Facing direct south-westerly Channel exposure, West Worthing takes full salt-air loading on its south-facing elevations — which is where the lead chimney flashings and ridge mortar fail first. Day to day, the repairs we are called to most are slipped and cracked tiles, perished ridge and hip mortar and failed lead flashings. Our West Worthing approach is interwar-stock spec — nail-sickness re-fixing and lead chimney flashing renewal on salt-exposed elevations.
We access the roof on every repair call. No ground-level estimates. We identify the failure and assess the surrounding area before quoting.
All lead repairs use Code 4 hand-dressed lead. Tile fixings use stainless steel. Mortar uses flexible coastal additive mix. No shortcuts.
We carry the most common tile and slate profiles. In the majority of cases the repair is completed on the first visit.
