Victorian and Edwardian village centre, large 1960s–70s East Rustington estates, seafront bungalows on Sea Road. The dominant roofing issues in Rustington are: Nail sickness developing on 1960s–70s East Rustington estate stock; Edwardian village centre lead and lime mortar requirements; Arun valley wind channelling on eastern properties.
BN16 east of Littlehampton; Arun valley creates easterly wind channelling adding to south-westerly exposure; above-average humidity from estuarine proximity. We apply appropriate coastal-grade materials and specification on every Rustington 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.
