Lead roofer in Worthing

Across Worthing (BN11) the work is mostly re-roofs, chimney weathering and lead bay and porch roofs, alongside the general roofing that goes with it. Worthing has conservation areas running along the front and a great deal of listed Regency and Victorian property behind them, so on a visible roof the material and the detail are usually fixed before the price is, and salt air off the Channel decides the rest. Every job starts with a proper look at the roof rather than a price guessed off a photograph.

No. Travel is included in the price of the work. Worthing is roughly 10 miles from Brighton, and that is stated up front rather than added at the end. For anything more than a small repair, the job gets planned as a proper visit rather than a day trip.

Yes. Worthing runs from seafront terraces with lead-covered bays and canopies to interwar semis inland, so the right answer changes considerably depending which end of town the job is. Paul is happy to talk through the kind of leadwork he has done near pier when you get in touch.

Very much so. Seafront property in Worthing takes salt and wind-driven rain constantly, and the lead on it is usually working harder than the same detail two miles inland. Codes go up, laps get longer, fixings are non-ferrous throughout, and parapet gutters get drips at closer centres because the thermal movement on a south-facing roof there is not trivial. Nearly every failure we get called to on the front is a detail that would have been fine somewhere sheltered.

Yes. Builders, main contractors and roofing firms around Worthing bring Paul in for the lead element they do not cover themselves, priced by the job or by the day on your material and your programme. Supply and fit is offered on exactly the same work if you would rather have one price for the lot.

Usually within a week or so, and faster where water is coming into the building. Worthing is around 10 miles from Brighton, so a look at the roof is straightforward to arrange. Quotes are free, carry no obligation, and you get the price in writing before anything starts.
