Local roof context

What Tarring roofs are up against

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

  • A genuinely historic core. West Tarring's high street and the lanes around the church carry some of the area's oldest buildings — clay peg tiles, steep pitches, timber structures that move with the seasons. Roofing here is craft work: matched materials, no shortcuts.
  • Conservation-minded repairs. On the village's period and listed buildings, like-for-like materials and details aren't optional — we source reclaimed clay tiles and work to the building, not against it.
  • The interwar surround. Beyond the old village, Tarring is classic 1930s Worthing — semis and bungalows with original concrete tiles now at the porous, mossy stage, and rooflines on borrowed time.
  • Mature tree cover. Tarring's older streets are leafier than most of Worthing — autumn gutter blockages and moss under canopy shade are the bread-and-butter problems here.
Local questions

Questions about roofs in Tarring

Can you work on the older cottages in West Tarring village?

Yes — period roofs are a speciality. We match clay tiles, repair rather than replace where possible, and respect conservation requirements.

What's a peg tile and why does it matter?

Traditional clay tiles hung on timber pegs or nibs rather than nailed — common on Tarring's oldest roofs. They need a roofer who understands them; modern fixing methods can do more harm than good.

My gutters block every autumn — what do you suggest?

An autumn clean as a minimum; leaf guards on problem runs under heavy canopy. We'll advise which runs actually need them rather than selling guards by the metre.

Do you cover all of Tarring?

Yes — West Tarring village, the Glebe area, and everything between South Street and the railway.
