📞 Call Now: 01903 905 128Findon sits at around 70 metres elevation on the South Downs escarpment north of Worthing, and its roofing environment is markedly different from the coastal properties to the south. The elevation means higher sustained wind speeds than Worthing town — particularly from the north-west and south-west quadrants — and more pronounced freeze-thaw cycling in winter. The village has a character housing stock of flint and stone houses and cottages, many dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, alongside post-war infill development and some modern housing.
The period flint and stone properties in Findon village centre require lime mortar for any pointing or chimney work — the same requirement as Tarring village in Worthing, but in a more elevated and wind-exposed location. Clay plain tile dominates the pre-1939 stock; post-war properties have concrete interlocking. The elevated location means ridge mortar is more exposed to wind than coastal properties at lower elevation — we see consistent ridge and hip mortar failure on properties facing north-west and south-west.
The three most common repair calls from Findon are: ridge and hip mortar failure from elevated wind exposure (particularly on north-west and south-west facing ridges), chimney repointing on the period flint and stone property stock using lime mortar, and tile slippage on clay plain tile roofs on pre-war properties where original nibs have deteriorated. Flat roof calls are relatively rare in Findon due to the period property profile.
"Had three ridge tiles blown off in a winter gale. The elevated position means the wind hits the roof much harder than you'd expect. They reseated and repointed the full ridge in flexible mortar rated for exposed locations. No repeat issues."
"Flint cottage chimney repointing with lime mortar. They knew exactly what was needed and didn't try to use standard cement. Excellent finish."
"Clay tile repairs on the main slope of our Victorian farmhouse. They matched the original handmade clay profile and the repairs are invisible from the ground. Very skilled work."
