Storm and wind damage
Onshore gales take ridges, verges and runs of tile off exposed elevations. We put them back and check what the wind has loosened but not yet removed.

Local coverage
Roofing across Worthing and its neighbourhoods
Worthing sits right on our doorstep, and it is one of the towns we are on most often, from the seafront terraces around Heene and West Worthing to the interwar semis spreading north through Broadwater, Goring, Durrington and Salvington, and the newer estates out towards Findon Valley.
That range matters, because a roof three streets from the promenade behaves nothing like one sheltered under the Downs. Salt-laden wind coming off the Channel gets under verges and lifts ridge tiles that would sit happily inland for another twenty years, while the older stock closer to town brings parapets, valleys and chimney stacks that need leadwork rather than tiles.
We are a small team, three of us, covering West Sussex and Brighton from a Worthing-centred patch, so getting to a job here is straightforward. We are contactable 24 hours a day for leaks that will not wait, with a call-out fee applying to emergency and out-of-hours work after 5pm, and every quote visit in Worthing is free.
Property types we work on in Worthing
Victorian and Edwardian terraces
Heene, Rowlands Road and the streets behind the seafront: natural slate, valley gutters, parapets and shared stacks over party walls. Leadwork and pointing do more of the work here than the covering does.
Interwar and post-war semis
Broadwater, Durrington and Goring are full of 1930s clay and later concrete tile roofs now reaching the end of their felt life, the classic slipped-tile-then-damp-ceiling sequence.
Bungalows and chalet bungalows
Common across Goring and Ferring-side Worthing, often with low-pitch sections, dormers and flat-roofed extensions bolted on, all of which need careful junction detailing.
Flat-roofed extensions and garages
Rear extensions, dormers and garage roofs across the whole town, most of them on felt that has lost its mineral finish and started to pond.
What we're called out for
The jobs that come up most in Worthing
Full re-roofs on interwar stock
Perished felt under a sound-looking tile roof is the single most common reason Worthing houses need re-covering rather than repairing.
Flat roof renewal
Three-layer torch-on felt on extensions, dormers and garages, with falls corrected so water leaves instead of ponding.
Chimney and lead repairs
Damp on chimney breasts in older terraces almost always traces back to failed flaunching, open joints or split lead at the stack.

Why Worthing homeowners use us
Bailey is a third-generation roofer who has been professionally on the tools for ten years and started BW Roofing Solutions in 2019. The team is deliberately small, three of us, so the person who quotes your roof is the person on it, and nothing is subbed out to whoever is free that week.
Every job in Worthing is priced as one fixed figure agreed in writing before we start; we do not work on day rates. We carry £2 million public liability insurance, we are members of the Confederation of Roofers Association, and our workmanship is guaranteed for 25 years.
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 Worthing roofs
Coastal towns wear roofs out faster, and Worthing's mix of exposed seafront stock and ageing suburban housing produces a fairly predictable set of failures.
Salt-laden wind
Onshore wind carries salt and grit that abrades surfaces and accelerates corrosion of fixings and fittings. Nails and clips fail earlier here than a few miles inland, which is why slipped tiles often mean nail failure rather than tile failure.
Wind uplift at verges and ridges
Exposed gable ends take the full force of a south-westerly. Once verge mortar cracks, wind gets under the tiles and works them loose along the whole edge.
End-of-life 1930s felt
Huge numbers of Worthing semis were built in the same twenty-year window and are hitting the same point together: covering still looks passable, underlay perished, and any water past a tile goes straight through.
Parapets and valley gutters
The older terraces near the front rely on hidden gutters and parapets. Blockages there flood inwards rather than overflowing outwards, so the first sign is often a ceiling rather than a drip.
Ponding on flat extensions
Level-laid felt roofs over rear extensions hold water for days after rain, which finds every hairline split and works at it through every frost.

Straight answers
Worthing roofing questions
Do you cover all of Worthing?
Yes: the whole town and its neighbourhoods, including Broadwater, Goring, Durrington, Salvington, Tarring, Heene, Findon Valley and the seafront. If you're just outside, call anyway; we're usually nearby.
How quickly can you get to a job in Worthing?
Worthing is at the centre of our patch, so it's one of the easiest places for us to reach. We're contactable 24 hours a day and prioritise active leaks, with a call-out fee for emergency and out-of-hours work after 5pm.
How much does a roof repair or re-roof cost in Worthing?
We price every roof individually after looking at it, size, pitch, covering, access and scaffold all change the figure. What's fixed is the form: one written price agreed before work starts, never a day rate.
Is the quote free?
Yes. Coming out, getting on the roof and pricing the work costs nothing anywhere in Worthing. Only a formal roof survey with a written inspection report is a separate paid service.
Do you do emergency call-outs in Worthing?
We're contactable 24 hours a day. Getting an open roof covered comes first; the permanent repair follows once conditions allow. A call-out fee applies after 5pm.
Do you work on seafront properties?
Regularly. Exposed coastal elevations need more attention to fixings, verge detail and lap dimensions than inland roofs, and we specify with that exposure in mind.
My Worthing semi keeps losing tiles, does it need a new roof?
Often it's nail or batten failure rather than the tiles themselves, which is repairable. If the underlay has perished as well, repairs stop being economic. We'll price both and let you decide with real numbers.
Do you work on commercial buildings in Worthing?
Yes: domestic and commercial. We carry hot-works cover for torch-on felt and phase larger jobs so the building stays usable and nothing is left open overnight.
Are you insured and guaranteed?
£2 million public liability insurance, and a 25-year guarantee on our workmanship. Storm damage, third-party damage and material failure are excluded; material failure sits with the manufacturer.
How do I pay?
A deposit up front and the balance on completion, by bank transfer or cash. We don't take card payments at present.
