Local roof context

What Sompting roofs are up against

Roof age, materials, exposure and drainage all affect what needs attention at an individual property.

  • Downs-foot damp and moss. Sompting sits right under the scarp of the Downs — north-facing slopes stay shaded and damp, and moss growth here is among the heaviest on our patch. Left alone it blocks gutters and accelerates tile decay.
  • Old village vs estate stock. The lanes around the historic village core (home to the famous Saxon church tower) hold older cottages with clay tiles and traditional details; West Sompting and the Loose Lane area are largely postwar homes whose concrete tiles and rooflines are aging in step.
  • Wind funnelling through the gap. The dip between the Downs and the coast accelerates south-westerlies across Sompting's exposed estate roofs — slipped tiles after storms are routine.
  • Original rooflines. A lot of West Sompting still carries first-generation fascias and gutters — rot hidden behind old boards is common, and replacement transforms both weather protection and kerb appeal.
Local questions

Questions about roofs in Sompting

Why does my Sompting roof grow so much moss?

Shade and moisture off the Downs. North slopes here barely dry out in winter. Gentle removal plus clearing the gutters yearly keeps it manageable.

Do you cover both the village and West Sompting?

Yes — the whole parish, from Church Lane to the Lancing boundary.

My fascias look fine but the gutters keep coming loose — why?

Often the timber behind the gutter brackets has rotted even when the paint looks sound. We'll check before quoting — sometimes it's brackets, sometimes it's boards.

Can you fix just a few slipped tiles?

Yes — small repairs are most of what we do, and catching them early is exactly how you avoid the big jobs.
