Lancing grew fast between the wars, and its roofs show it. Streets of 1930s bungalows and chalet bungalows run down towards the beach, many with hipped roofs in plain or early concrete tiles, small dormers and a chimney or two. North Lancing and Sompting add post-war semis and estates in concrete interlocking tiles.
Bungalow roofs are big for the size of the house, with hips on every corner. That means a lot of ridge and hip mortar to fail, and a lot of tiles to slip once the battens underneath age. Chalet bungalows add dormers, with their own cheeks, flashings and small flat roofs, which are the first places to leak.
A full re-roof of a bungalow is one of the jobs we do most, with dry hips and ridge so there is no mortar left to crack.
Lancing sits about 8 miles west of our Brighton base, between the A27 and the beach, under the chapel of Lancing College on the downs. We cover North and South Lancing, Sompting and the bungalows down by Widewater Lagoon.
On Lancing's bungalows the roof repairs are about hips and ridges: mortar that has cracked after decades of sea wind, rocking ridge tiles and tiles slipping off tired battens. Dormers on chalet bungalows add their own leaks at the cheeks and the small flat roof on top.
A bungalow has a lot of roof for its size, so a new roof here is a big job done in a few days: strip, new membrane and battens, new tiles and dry ridge and dry verge on every hip. Our new roof cost guide gives 2026 budgets for bungalows.
