Roofers in Littlehampton · BN16–BN17
Littlehampton, Rustington, East Preston and Angmering sit twenty minutes west of us along the coast. It is one of the most bungalow-heavy stretches of the Sussex coast, which makes for straightforward roofs — and a very large amount of flat roofing.
The stretch from Angmering and East Preston through Rustington into Littlehampton is dominated by twentieth-century single-storey housing — interwar and post-war bungalows in enormous numbers, plus the later estates and the seafront stock around the river mouth.
Bungalow roofs are, in the main, good news. Access is easy, scaffolding is often unnecessary, and a full re-roof on a bungalow is frequently cheaper than people assume because so much of the cost on a two-storey house is getting up there safely.
The complication is what has been added. Bungalows attract extensions, sunrooms, garages, porches and carports, and almost every one of those has a flat roof on it. A great deal of what we do here is flat roofing — replacing tired felt, overlaying decks that are still sound, and putting GRP on the ones that get walked on or that people can see from an upstairs window next door.
Checkatrade reviews on our profile include BN17 customers for fascia repair and roofing repairs, and the new fascias and soffits job in the gallery is a BN16 job.
What comes up most on this stretch of the coast.
Chippings washed off, laps open, ponding at the low end. Very often overlayable, which saves the strip-out and the skip.
Small, heavily detailed and almost always the first thing to leak. GRP or a liquid system handles the detailing far better than a sheet ever will.
Long single-storey runs of eaves, easy to reach and easy to do well. This stretch is where a lot of our roofline work is.
The same coastal wind story as the rest of the patch. Dry-fixing on the way past ends it.
Where an old polycarbonate roof is being replaced, the junction back into the house is where it will leak. That detail is a roofing job, not a glazing one.
The seafront and the Arun mouth take it hard in a south-westerly. We run a 24/7 call-out and cover the whole of BN16 and BN17.

Read all 73 reviews on Checkatrade(opens in a new tab)Usually, yes, and by more than people expect. Much of the cost on a two-storey house is safe access — scaffolding, edge protection, and the time it takes to move materials up and rubbish down. A single-storey roof often needs none of that. The tiles cost what they cost, but the getting-to-it does not.
Often. It depends on whether the deck underneath is dry and sound, how many layers are already up there and whether the existing falls work. If it can be overlaid safely we will say so, because it saves you the strip-out, the disposal and the skip. If the deck is wet we will not, because coating over wet timber just traps the problem.
Yes — Rustington, East Preston, Angmering and Ferring are all on this run, along with Littlehampton itself. Anything in BN16 and BN17.
We do the roofing side of it, including the junction back into the house, which is where these almost always leak. Where a job is really a glazing job we will say so rather than take it on and do it half well.
