📞 Call Now: 01903 905 128Goring-by-Sea is predominantly a 1930s and 1940s residential suburb, built out from Worthing as the interwar commuter belt expanded westward. The characteristic housing stock is detached and semi-detached with hipped and half-hipped roofs, originally laid with concrete plain or concrete interlocking tiles. Most of this stock was built between 1930 and 1955 — which means the original concrete tile is now 70–90 years old, well past the typical 40–60 year design life.
Ilex Way and the roads surrounding the Goring Hall Hospital area are particularly representative — large detached properties with complex roof geometry, multiple valleys and dormers, on concrete tile that is now showing widespread nail sickness, surface erosion and cracking. The Goring seafront fringe along Sea Lane and Mulberry Lane has bungalows with flat-roofed rear extensions that we see regularly for GRP replacement. Salt exposure here is significant — properties within 200 metres of the beach experience accelerated degradation of felt and felted flat roofs.
The dominant repair call from Goring-by-Sea is nail sickness on the 1930s concrete tile stock — tiles that have passed the point where individual repair is economic and need full strip and relay. Flat roof failures on the bungalow belt near the seafront are the second most common call, predominantly felt roofs on rear extensions that are past their working life. Wind-lifted tiles on the exposed south-facing slopes of detached properties in the Ilex Way area are a regular third category.
"Had a full re-roof survey on our 1935 detached in Goring. The tile assessment confirmed what I suspected — nail sickness throughout. They priced it fairly, replaced with clay interlocking, and the job was done in five days. Great team."
"Flat roof on the rear extension had been patched twice in ten years. Finally had it done properly in GRP. Done in a day, no more patches required, and the guarantee gives peace of mind."
"Three tiles gone off the south slope after the February storms. Called Monday, they were here Thursday, matched the existing concrete profile exactly and fixed it cleanly. Good service."
