Ferring Roofing & Roof Repairs
Bespoke Roofing & Renovations provides professional roofing services throughout Ferring and the surrounding West Sussex area. Our family-run team has more than 20 years of experience completing roof repairs, roof-lining replacements, chimney work, valley repairs and ridge and hip work.
Ferring’s coastal position means roofs can be exposed to strong winds, driving rain and salt-laden air. These conditions can accelerate the deterioration of roof coverings, mortar, leadwork and other exposed materials.
We provide clear written quotations, photographs where appropriate and complimentary drone roof surveys where weather, access and flight restrictions permit. Scaffolding can also be supplied and coordinated by our in-house team.

Types of Roof Repairs We Undertake in Ferring
A leaking or damaged roof does not necessarily need to be replaced completely. Where the principal roof covering remains serviceable, it may be possible to complete a targeted repair or renew only the deteriorated components.
Our Ferring roofing services include:
Leaking roof investigations
Broken or displaced tile replacement
Roof-lining and batten replacement
Chimney repairs
Lead flashing replacement
Valley repairs and replacements
Ridge, hip and bonnet tile repairs
Storm-damage repairs
Moss removal and roof maintenance
Flat-roof repairs and replacements
Fascia, soffit and guttering work
We inspect the visible condition of the roof before explaining the likely cause and recommending the appropriate work.
Roof-Lining Replacement in Ferring
Traditional non-breathable bitumen underlay can become brittle, torn or badly sagged as it ages. Although the tiles may still appear serviceable from outside, a deteriorated underlay can leave the roof more vulnerable when coverings become cracked or displaced.
Where the main tiles or slates remain suitable for reuse, we may be able to retain them while renewing the underlay and battens beneath.
Roof-lining work can include:
Supplying and erecting the required scaffolding
Removing and setting aside suitable tiles or slates
Removing the existing felt and battens
Inspecting the exposed roof structure
Installing new BBA-approved breathable roofing membrane
Installing new tanalised roofing battens
Fitting rigid eaves support trays where required
Replacing broken or unsuitable roof coverings
Relaying retained tiles or slates
Completing the ridge, hip, verge and leadwork details
Removing roofing waste from the property
A breathable membrane can help manage moisture within a correctly designed roofing system. However, ventilation requirements depend on the roof construction, insulation arrangement and existing airflow and should be assessed individually.
Roof-lining replacement can be a practical option where the tiles remain serviceable but the felt and battens underneath have deteriorated.
Chimney Repairs in Ferring
Chimney stacks are among the most exposed parts of a property. Defective mortar, render, flaunching or leadwork can allow wind-driven rain to penetrate the chimney and adjoining roof.
We provide a range of chimney repairs throughout Ferring.
Chimney Repointing
Mortar joints naturally deteriorate through age and weather exposure. Cracked, loose or missing mortar can allow moisture into the chimney masonry.
Repairs normally involve removing the defective mortar to a suitable depth and repointing the joints with an appropriate mortar mix.
Chimney Render Repairs
Cracked or hollow render can allow water to travel behind the external finish and affect the underlying brickwork.
Depending on its condition, the defective render may need to be repaired locally or removed and replaced with a suitable new render system.
Chimney Flaunching
Flaunching is the mortar finish around the chimney pots at the top of the stack. It supports the pots and is formed to direct rainwater away from them.
Cracked or poorly formed flaunching can retain water and allow moisture into the chimney structure. We can repair or completely renew defective flaunching where required.
Chimney Pots, Cowls and Caps
Chimney pots can crack or become loose through age and weather exposure. Unused flues may also require suitable protection against rain, birds and debris while maintaining the necessary ventilation.
We can replace damaged pots and install appropriate cowls or caps according to the condition and use of the chimney.
Chimney Leadwork
Lead flashings create a weatherproof junction between the chimney and roof covering. Repeated thermal movement, age and poor detailing can cause lead to split, lift or pull away from the surrounding masonry.
Our leadwork services include:
Stepped flashings
Lead soakers
Front aprons
Back gutters
Localised lead repairs
Complete chimney flashing replacement
The required lead code and installation method depend on the position and construction of the chimney.
Moss Removal in Ferring
Moss, algae and lichen commonly develop on shaded or moisture-retaining roof elevations. Heavy growth may obstruct drainage channels, fall into gutters and downpipes and conceal cracked or displaced tiles.
Our roof-cleaning service can include:
Manual dry scraping
Removing moss and loose organic growth
Clearing debris from the roof
Cleaning accessible gutters and outlets
Applying a suitable antifungal or biocidal treatment
Identifying visibly damaged tiles during the work
Manual removal is generally a controlled way of clearing heavy moss without relying on aggressive pressure.
Pressure washing is not suitable for every roof. Excessive pressure can damage older or fragile tiles, remove protective surface finishes and force water beneath the covering. Any cleaning method should be selected according to the age, material and condition of the roof.
No treatment can permanently prevent moss from returning, but an appropriate biocidal treatment can help slow regrowth following cleaning.
Valley Repairs and Replacements in Ferring
Roof valleys collect and direct substantial volumes of rainwater. Cracked valley linings, failed mortar, blocked channels or deteriorated surrounding materials can result in significant internal leaks.
Common valley systems include:
Lead valleys
GRP fibreglass valleys
Dry valley systems
Traditionally tiled valleys
The most suitable repair or replacement depends on the roof pitch, covering and existing valley construction.
Valley replacement may include:
Removing tiles from both sides of the valley
Removing the defective valley material
Inspecting the supporting valley boards
Repairing or replacing damaged timber where included
Renewing the adjoining roofing membrane and battens
Installing an appropriate new valley system
Cutting and relaying the surrounding tiles
Completing associated mortar or weathering details
Where necessary, we renew the roofing membrane on both sides of the valley rather than replacing only the visible central channel. This helps create a properly weathered junction between the new valley and adjoining roof.
Ridge, Hip and Bonnet Tile Repairs in Ferring
Ridge tiles protect the highest junction of a pitched roof, while hip and bonnet tiles weather its external angles.
These tiles may be bedded in mortar or installed as part of a suitable mechanically fixed dry system. Traditional bedding mortar can crack, loosen and erode through age, frost, strong winds and general exposure.
Our ridge, hip and bonnet services include:
Repointing limited areas of otherwise sound mortar
Removing and rebedding loose tiles
Replacing cracked or damaged tiles
Renewing complete ridge or hip lines
Installing appropriate dry-ridge or dry-hip systems
Replacing individual tiles displaced during storms
In many cases, the bedding mortar deteriorates before the tile itself. Where the tiles remain serviceable, they may be carefully removed and reused with a suitable new fixing method.
If the tiles are cracked, heavily weathered or unsuitable for reuse, replacement tiles can be supplied.
Storm-Damaged Roofs
Properties near the coast can be particularly exposed during strong winds and severe weather. Storm damage may result in slipped tiles, lifted ridge or hip tiles, damaged leadwork and exposed roof underlay.
We can inspect visible storm damage and provide:
Emergency weatherproofing where practicable
Replacement roof tiles
Ridge and hip repairs
Leadwork repairs
Photographs of the visible damage
A written quotation for the permanent work
Where an insurance claim is being considered, the policyholder should contact their insurer and follow the insurer’s claims procedure.
Flat-Roof Repairs and Replacements
We repair and replace flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and porches throughout Ferring.
Available systems include:
Traditional three-layer felt
GRP fibreglass
Fibre-reinforced liquid roofing
Where a flat roof requires complete replacement, the existing covering can be removed and the supporting deck inspected. Damaged decking can be replaced with suitable 18mm OSB roofing boards before the selected waterproof system is installed.
The appropriate system depends on the roof’s construction, size, condition, falls and adjoining details.
Roofing in Coastal Ferring
Ferring includes properties close to Ferring Beach as well as homes further inland towards Ferring Country Centre and the surrounding residential areas.
The closer a property is to the coast, the more exposed its roof may be to strong winds, driving rain and salt-laden air. Regular attention to loose tiles, deteriorated mortar, leadwork, roof edges and rainwater systems can help identify defects before they develop into larger problems.
We provide roofing services throughout Ferring and nearby locations including East Preston, Goring-by-Sea, Angmering, Kingston Gorse, Rustington and Worthing.
