Post-war 1950s–1970s residential estate on the lower Downs fringe, 25–45m elevation. Above coastal plain; moderate wind exposure; north-facing slopes see above-avera. Free quotes, no call-out fee across BN13.
Hill Barn is a post-war residential estate from the 1950s to 1970s on the lower Downs fringe, between 25 and 45 metres. Expect concrete interlocking tile now 55 to 75 years old, with nail sickness developing across the estate across the area. From the estate off Hill Barn Lane through the streets near the recreation ground to the higher ground toward Salvington, the pattern holds.
Above the coastal plain with moderate wind exposure, Hill Barn's north-facing slopes see above-average moss accumulation — the estate's defining maintenance issue alongside ageing concrete tile. Locally, a full re-roof here typically addresses end-of-life coverings, perished underlay and widespread nail sickness. Our Hill Barn approach is estate-scale work — nail-sickness re-fixing and soft moss removal matched to post-war concrete tile.
Every re-roof starts with a direct inspection and itemised written quote. No surprises at completion.
Clay interlocking tile has a design life of 80–100 years versus 40–60 for concrete. In West Sussex coastal conditions the difference is material.
New breathable membrane, treated batten, stainless fixings, all lead work, flexible coastal ridge mortar, and debris removal. No additions at completion.
