Worthing's mix: seafront, bungalows and old villages
Worthing's seafront takes the full force of the prevailing wind. The Regency and Victorian terraces along Marine Parade, in Heene and in the streets behind the pier carry slate and clay tile roofs that live in salt spray, so fixings corrode, lead flashing lifts at the edges and cement fillets crack away from the chimneys. Inland, Broadwater and West Tarring mix Victorian and Edwardian terraces with older flint cottages under handmade clay tiles, where sagging battens and worn tile nibs turn up as often as slipped tiles do.
Then there are the bungalows. Goring-by-Sea, Durrington, Findon Valley and High Salvington are full of mid-century bungalows and chalet bungalows, and their big, low-slung roofs are easy to reach and easy to neglect. Hip tiles work loose, valleys clog with moss from nearby trees, and the flat-roofed dormers added for loft bedrooms reach the end of their felt. We fix the roof you have, and only quote a new one when the battens and felt underneath have really gone.

Worthing roof faults worth knowing
Coastal wind, old flint cottages and a lot of bungalows give Worthing a particular set of roof faults.
Storm-lifted tiles on the seafront
South-westerly gales get under the lower courses and snap nibs or lift whole tiles. We replace breakages with matching tiles and refix the course so the next storm has nothing to grab.
Loose hip tiles on bungalows
Mortar-bedded hips on Goring and Durrington bungalows crack and let go. We either rebed them on a strong mortar or fit a mechanically fixed dry hip.
Worn-out dormer flat roofs
Loft conversions from decades back were finished in felt that now blisters and splits. We replace them in GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber, with new trims and a proper fall to the gutter.
Moss-choked valleys under trees
Leafy streets in Offington and High Salvington drop debris into valleys and gutters. Moss dams the water and pushes it sideways under the tiles, so we clear it, clean the roof and treat it.

Roofing questions from Worthing
How do I know if a Worthing bungalow roof needs replacing or just repairing?
Look at what sits under the tiles, not the tiles themselves. If the felt is torn in a few places and the battens are firm, a repair will hold. If the felt crumbles when touched, battens are soft and tiles are slipping across the whole slope, a new roof is the better spend. Our free drone survey shows you the whole roof, so you judge it with us.
Does salt air on Worthing seafront shorten the life of a roof?
Yes, it speeds up corrosion of anything metal. Nails, clips and cheap aluminium trims fail far sooner within sight of the sea, and cement fillets take a battering from wind-driven rain. On seafront roofs we use copper or stainless fixings, lead rather than mortar wherever a detail allows it, and check the flashings on every visit.
Can you repair the flint and clay tile cottages in West Tarring?
We can, and the handmade clay tiles on the old Tarring cottages are worth saving, so we reuse every sound tile and match replacements for colour and size. If your cottage is listed or sits in a conservation area, check with the council before changing materials on the roof. Ridge tiles on these cottages go back on in a lime mortar to suit the old walls.
Who fixes storm damage to a Worthing roof out of hours?
Sure Seal do, with a 24/7 emergency call-out. If a gale strips tiles or water comes through the ceiling at night or on a Sunday, ring us. We make the roof watertight first with a temporary cover or quick repair, then come back to do the permanent fix, and we give you photos for your insurer.
