Local coverage
Roofing across Shoreham, Southwick and Shoreham Beach
Shoreham-by-Sea sits between Worthing and Hove on our patch, which makes it one of the easiest places for us to reach and one we work in regularly. The town runs from the old high street and Victorian terraces near the river, through the interwar and post-war housing spreading north towards Mill Hill, out to the low-lying, highly exposed properties on Shoreham Beach.
Exposure is the defining feature. Shoreham Beach in particular has almost no shelter, wind comes off the Channel on one side and across the harbour and river on the other, and the older bungalows and chalet properties there take a battering that inland roofs never see.
We quote free anywhere in Shoreham and Southwick, and we're contactable 24 hours a day for leaks and storm damage, with a call-out fee applying to emergency and out-of-hours work after 5pm.
Property types we work on in Shoreham-by-Sea
Shoreham Beach bungalows and chalets
Low, wide and wholly exposed, often with low-pitch sections, dormers and flat-roofed additions, every one of which is a junction that has to be detailed properly.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces
Around the high street and the river: slate roofs, shared stacks and valleys, where leadwork and pointing matter more than the covering.
Interwar and post-war semis
Towards Mill Hill and Southwick, clay and concrete tile roofs now hitting the end of their underlay life.
Commercial and harbour-side units
Larger flat and low-pitch roofs around the port and industrial areas, where torch-on felt and proper drainage detailing do the work.

Why Shoreham customers use us
Coastal roofing is a specification problem as much as a workmanship one. We detail with the exposure of the property in mind, more generous upstands and laps, fixings chosen for wind load, and verge and drip detail given proper attention on the windward side.
Bailey started BW Roofing Solutions in 2019 and is a third-generation roofer with ten years professionally in the trade. Three of us, fixed prices agreed in writing before work starts, £2 million public liability, membership of the Confederation of Roofers Association, and a 25-year workmanship guarantee.
Fixed prices, agreed first
One written figure for the whole job before we start. We never work on day rates, so the price you accept is the price you pay.
25-year workmanship guarantee
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 25 years, excluding storm damage, third-party damage and material failure.
£2m public liability
£2 million public liability insurance, on domestic and commercial jobs alike.
The same three people
A small team run by Bailey, a third-generation roofer with ten years professionally in the trade. Nothing is subbed out.
Contactable 24 hours
We answer out of hours for leaks that can't wait. A call-out fee applies to emergency and out-of-hours work after 5pm.
Free quotes, no pressure
Quote visits cost nothing. Only a formal written roof survey report is charged as a separate service.
Local conditions
What goes wrong on Shoreham roofs
Wind and salt do most of the damage here, and low-lying, low-pitch properties give them more to work with than a steep inland roof would.
Wind from two directions
Properties near the harbour and beach get onshore wind from the Channel and cross-wind along the river valley. Roofs that hold up against a south-westerly still lose verge tiles to a south-easterly.
Salt corrosion of fixings
Nails, clips and brackets corrode faster in salt air. Slipped tiles here are usually a fixing problem, and gutter brackets fail earlier than they would inland.
Low-pitch and flat roofs
A lot of Beach-side stock has shallow pitches and flat sections where wind-driven rain can travel uphill under the covering. Lap dimensions and upstand heights that work inland are not enough here.
Wind uplift on exposed gables
With little shelter, gable ends take the full force. Cracked verge mortar lets the wind under the edge tiles and it works its way along the run.
Driving rain at abutments
Rain arriving almost horizontally gets behind short upstands and undersized flashings, showing up as damp on internal walls rather than as a drip in the loft.

Straight answers
Shoreham-by-Sea roofing questions
Do you cover Shoreham-by-Sea and Southwick?
Yes: the whole of Shoreham including Shoreham Beach, Old Shoreham, Mill Hill and Southwick. It sits right between Worthing and Hove on our patch.
How quickly can you get to Shoreham?
Very easily: it's central to our working area. We're contactable 24 hours a day and prioritise active leaks and storm damage, with a call-out fee after 5pm.
How much does roofing work cost in Shoreham?
We price each roof after inspecting it, allowing for exposure, access and scaffold, then give you one fixed written figure. We never work on day rates.
Do you work on Shoreham Beach properties?
Yes, regularly. They're some of the most exposed roofs in the area and need heavier fixings, generous laps and careful verge and upstand detailing.
My roof lost tiles in a storm, can you come out?
We're contactable 24 hours a day. The priority is making the roof watertight, then a proper repair once the weather allows, and we can document what we find for an insurance claim.
Do you fit flat roofs in Shoreham?
Yes: three-layer torch-on felt on extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units, with falls corrected at deck level so water actually reaches the outlet.
Is the quote free?
Yes, anywhere in Shoreham. A written roof survey report is the only paid inspection service we offer.
Do you work on commercial and harbour-side buildings?
Yes. We carry hot-works cover for torch-on felt and phase larger jobs so buildings stay usable and nothing is left open overnight.
Why do my gutter brackets keep failing?
Salt air corrodes fixings faster, and if the fascia behind is soft the brackets pull out anyway. We check the fascia before hanging anything new on it.
Are you insured and guaranteed?
£2 million public liability, membership of the Confederation of Roofers Association, and 25 years on our workmanship, excluding storm damage, third-party damage and material failure.
