Local Knowledge

Roof Replacement in Shoreham-by-Sea

In Shoreham-by-Sea, the most common Shoreham roofing calls reflect the coastal setting: corroded and failed leadwork, wind-lifted and lost tiles on exposed seafront elevations, and accelerated deterioration of flat roofs under salt and UV. Storm damage after Channel gales is a regular call-out. We specify coastal-grade lead, stainless or galvanised fixings and patination oil as standard on Shoreham work.

Being right on the coast, Shoreham takes the full force of Channel weather. Salt air corrodes metal fixings and lead far faster than inland, so all leadwork here needs coastal specification and patination treatment. Onshore winds drive rain hard against exposed elevations and lift poorly fixed tiles and ridges, making mechanical fixing important. The estuary setting also means some low-lying properties face wind-driven rain from multiple directions.

What We Do

Roof Replacement Standards in Shoreham-by-Sea

A Shoreham-by-Sea re-roof starts with a full structural survey — deck, battens and any planning constraints. We specify breathable underlay to BS 5534, treated battens, and tiles, slate or Horsham Stone matched to the property and its setting. Ridges and verges are mechanically fixed to meet current wind-uplift standards, and all valleys and flashings are formed in Code 5 lead. We protect the loft, keep the site tidy each evening and clear all waste on completion. Every re-roof carries a written 10-year guarantee.

All our work follows recognised standards — BS 5534 for slating and tiling, Code 5 lead minimum for valleys and flashings, and lime mortar (NHL 3.5) on pre-1930 masonry. We are NFRC registered with £5 million public liability insurance and give a written 10-year workmanship guarantee on every job.

BS 5534 sets the fixing, underlay and dry-fix requirements every compliant UK roof must meet. — BS 5534 (British Standards Institution)
Local Detail

Shoreham-by-Sea Roofs in Practice

Shoreham’s old town around the High Street and East Street carries Victorian and Edwardian terraces in slate and clay tile. The inter-war expansion brought 1930s semis in concrete and clay, and the seafront and Beach Road areas add a distinctive mix including Art Deco influences and later flat-roofed builds. Across all of it, the marine environment is the common factor: coverings, fixings and especially leadwork weather faster than they would inland.

Honest advice

Do You Actually Need Roof Replacement?

A re-roof is a big decision, and it is not always the right one. These are the signs the covering - not just a patch of it - is at end of life.

When it is not the answer: If the covering is fundamentally sound and the problem is one valley, one flashing or one patch of slipped tiles, a repair at a tenth of the cost is the honest answer - do not let anyone sell you a roof you do not need. Read the full guide.

Nail sickness: corroded fixings let sound slates slip while the slate remains reusable
Nail sickness — the slate outlives its fixings; strip-and-relay reuses the original covering.
The process

How a Shoreham-by-Sea Roof Replacement Job Runs

1. Survey & measurement

Full roof survey - covering, battens, felt, timbers - with photographs, plus exact measurement for materials.

2. Written itemised quote

Every line priced: strip, timber allowance, membrane, battens, tiles, fixings, scaffold, skip, waste. Staged payments, nothing before materials arrive.

3. Scheduling & scaffold

Scaffold and any permits arranged by us; delivery and skip timed to the strip date.

4. Strip & inspection

Old covering off, timbers inspected - any rot or beetle damage priced and agreed before covering up, never discovered on the final invoice.

5. Re-roof

Breathable membrane, new battens, covering fixed to BS 5534, new ridge and verge details, leadwork renewed where it meets walls and chimneys.

6. Cleanup & sign-off

Site cleared, magnet-swept for nails, gutters cleaned, guarantee and material warranties handed over.

Timescales

How Long Does It Take?

JobTypical duration
3-bed semi, concrete interlocking5-8 days
3-bed semi, plain clay tile7-10 days
Victorian terrace, slate8-12 days
Bungalow4-6 days
Detached 4-5 bed8-14 days

Winter re-roofs run fine - the roof is never left open overnight - but hard rain or high wind pauses stripping, so winter programmes carry an extra margin day or two.

Access

Access, Scaffolding & Permits in Shoreham-by-Sea

Every re-roof is scaffolded - it is a legal working-at-height requirement for sustained work, and it is itemised in the quote. Scaffold is specified for: every full replacement, without exception - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.

Coastal terraces off the High Street and East Street are tight for scaffold and need Adur District Council footway licences; Shoreham Beach properties add salt-exposure checks to every metal fixing we touch. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Adur District Council; allow a few working days on streets like High Street, East Street where space is tight.

Guarantee

The Guarantee in Plain Terms

The full 10-year workmanship guarantee covers the entire new roof system; tile and membrane manufacturers add their own warranties - typically 15 years to lifetime on the covering itself.

If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.

Good to know

What It Is Like While We Work

Expect scaffold up for one to two weeks, a skip on the drive or a licensed bay, and two to four days of the noisiest work during strip and re-batten - we warn neighbours on terraces before we start. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.

We strip only what we can felt the same day, so the house is watertight every night regardless of forecast. Salt-laden coastal air corrodes nails and flashings years faster than inland - marine-grade fixings are not optional here.
