Local roofing specialists serving Goring-by-Sea and the BN12 postcode. Predominantly 1930s–1950s detached and semi-detached residential, seafront bunga. Free quotes, no call-out fee.
Predominantly 1930s–1950s detached and semi-detached residential, seafront bungalow fringe. The dominant roofing issues in Goring-by-Sea are: Widespread nail sickness on 1930s concrete tile; flat roof failure on seafront bungalows; hipped roof lead work on detached properties.
Direct south-westerly exposure from the English Channel; properties south of the A259 in prime salt air zone. We apply appropriate coastal-grade materials and specification on every Goring-by-Sea job as standard — not as a premium upcharge.
The standard Velux foam flashing kit has a design life of 15–20 years in sheltered conditions. In coastal West Sussex, salt air degrades the adhesive bond between foam layers and thermal cycling from intense south-coast sun causes micro-gap formation. Effective lifespan drops to 8–12 years on direct-exposure properties. Lead, properly dressed, outlasts the window frame.
The drainage channel in the bottom sill rail of Velux units accumulates salt and algae deposits on coastal properties. When this channel restricts, water backs up behind the lower seal. This is the most common Velux leak cause in coastal West Sussex and is repairable without unit replacement in most cases. Call 01903 905 128 for a diagnosis visit.

Most leaking Velux units in coastal West Sussex do not need replacement. We diagnose the specific cause first — blocked drainage channels, failed foam flashing, or degraded glazing seals — and repair where viable.
We install all Velux units with hand-dressed Code 4 lead flashings rather than the standard foam EDN kit. Lead adds £150–£250 per unit but eliminates the 8–12 year coastal replacement cycle on foam flashings.
We confirm planning position before quoting — most residential Velux installations are permitted development but conservation area and listed building properties have specific requirements.
