Local roofing specialists serving Rustington and the BN16 postcode. Victorian and Edwardian village centre, large 1960s–70s East Rustington estates. Free quotes, no call-out fee.
Roofing Rustington spans a Victorian and Edwardian village centre, large 1960s–70s estates in East Rustington, and seafront bungalows toward Sea Lane. Roofs here are typically lead-and-lime heritage detailing in the centre and ageing concrete tile across the post-war estates. We work across the village centre, the East Rustington estates and the seafront off Sea Lane.
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. In practice, a full re-roof here typically addresses end-of-life coverings, perished underlay and widespread nail sickness. Our Rustington approach is mixed-stock spec — Edwardian lead and lime in the centre, nail-sickness re-fixing on the East Rustington estates.
We access the roof directly and assess tile condition, batten and felt integrity, structural timbers, all lead work, and chimney and valley status. You receive an itemised written quote before we begin.
Scaffold erected the day before. Existing tile, batten and felt removed and bagged on day one. Breathable membrane relaid the same day — the roof is never left exposed overnight.
New treated batten and chosen tile laid over the following days. All lead work, ridge and hip completed before scaffold comes down. Site cleared and tidy on final day.
