Small residential settlement in the dry valley between Worthing and Findon village — a mix of 20th century development including post-war estate housing and some older rural-adjacent properties. The roofing requirements here are shaped by this specific combination of housing era, geography and coastal exposure.
Concrete interlocking tile on post-war stock; some clay on older properties. The valley position creates a specific microclimate distinct from both coastal Worthing and the exposed Findon ridge.
The valley position creates localised frost pockets and higher relative humidity than either Worthing or Findon due to cold air drainage settling in the valley floor. Mortar deterioration and moss growth are above average for the elevation. Properties on north-facing slopes see the fastest moss accumulation.
Cold air drains down the valley from the South Downs overnight, creating frost pockets more severe than coastal Worthing despite the modest elevation of 40–60m. Higher relative humidity than either the coast or the exposed ridge. North-facing slopes have significantly longer periods of damp than south-facing, accelerating moss and lichen growth on tile surfaces.

Every roofing service across BN14 — from a single tile repair to a full re-roof.
We climb the roof (or fly a drone on steep/high access) to find the true source — leaks rarely start where the stain appears inside.
You get an itemised price with no call-out fee. We tell you if it's a genuine repair or whether a section is beyond economic repair.
On urgent leaks we make the roof watertight the same visit where we can, then return with materials for the permanent fix.
Matching tiles, Code 4/5 lead to valleys and flashings, flexible modified mortar to ridges — never sand and cement, which cracks and re-fails.
All debris removed, the work photographed, and the repair backed by our workmanship guarantee.
