Building Services in Ferring
Roofing, guttering and renovation work across Ferring, with plenty of experience on the village's bungalows and older housing.
Your Local Builder Serving Ferring
Ferring is a village rather than a town, and the housing reflects that: predominantly bungalows and mid-century detached and semi-detached property, on generous plots, with a good deal of mature planting and a short walk to the sea.
We work here regularly from our base in Lancing. Call Harry on 07598 864363 for a free, no-obligation quote — including for small jobs, which we are happy to bundle together into a single visit.
Roofing, Guttering & Home Maintenance in Ferring
Bungalow roofing and guttering make up much of our Ferring work, alongside kitchen and bathroom renovations, plastering, tiling, flooring, painting, fencing, patios, and general repairs and maintenance.
We also take on accessibility and practicality work that comes up often in the village: grab rails, level-access shower conversions as part of a bathroom refit, and replacing steps with ramps or handrails.
What We Offer in Ferring
Roofing, guttering, renovations and maintenance suited to Ferring's bungalows and village housing.
What Ferring Properties Tend to Need
Bungalows dominate, and they carry a large roof area for their footprint. That means more tiles, more ridge, more gutter and more fascia per property than a two-storey house of the same size — so more maintenance, but also easier and cheaper access when it needs doing.
Mature planting on the larger village plots keeps gutters and flat roof outlets filling with leaf litter, and on flat-roofed extensions a blocked outlet does not overflow — it ponds, and standing water is what eventually finds a seam.
The mid-century stock is also at the point where original fabric is failing as a group: flat roof coverings on extensions, single-skin garage walls, early double glazing, and rendered elevations that have not been recoated in decades. Being close to the sea accelerates all of it.
Adapting a Home to Stay In It
A fair proportion of the work we are asked about in Ferring is about making a property easier to live in long-term rather than changing how it looks: converting a bath to a level-access shower, fitting grab rails properly into solid fixings rather than plasterboard, widening a doorway, replacing an awkward step with a ramp and handrail, or improving external lighting on a path. We are happy to quote for any of it, and to do it as part of a wider refit if that works out cheaper.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work on bungalows in Ferring?
Yes — most of our Ferring work is bungalow work. They carry more roof and gutter relative to floor area, so there is more to maintain, but access is easier and it usually costs less per square metre than a two-storey property.
Will you come out for a small job?
Yes. If you have several small jobs on a list, we will do them in one visit at one price rather than charging separate call-outs.
Can you convert a bath to a level-access shower?
Yes, as a standalone job or as part of a full bathroom refit. We will tell you honestly whether the existing drainage and floor make it straightforward or whether it involves more work.
Can you fit grab rails safely?
Yes. The important part is fixing into something solid rather than plasterboard, which is where most poorly-fitted rails fail. We locate proper fixings or install a suitable backing.
Why does my flat roof extension keep leaking?
Usually a blocked outlet. Unlike a pitched roof, a flat roof with a blocked outlet does not overflow — it ponds, and standing water eventually finds a seam. Clearing the outlets is the cheapest preventative job there is.
How often should gutters be cleared in Ferring?
On the more heavily planted village plots, twice a year. On open plots, once a year in late autumn is usually enough.
