Building Services in Southwick
Roofing, guttering and property maintenance across Southwick, three miles east of our Lancing base.
Your Local Builder Serving Southwick
Southwick sits between Shoreham and Portslade, with the harbour on one side and the downs rising behind it. We are about three miles west in Lancing, which makes it one of the easiest places for us to get to and one we work in regularly.
The housing is a mix: Victorian terraces closer to the harbour and the station, interwar and postwar semis spreading north, and the older properties around Southwick Green. Call Harry on 07598 864363 for a free quote.
Roofing, Guttering & Maintenance in Southwick
Guttering is the job we are called out for most in Southwick. Blocked runs, leaking joints, dropped sections and full gutter replacement — along with the fascia and soffit work that usually needs doing at the same time.
Beyond that we cover roof repairs and re-roofs, kitchen and bathroom renovations, plastering, tiling, flooring, fencing, patios, painting and general repairs.
What We Offer in Southwick
Guttering, roofing, renovations and general maintenance for Southwick homeowners and landlords.
What Southwick Properties Tend to Need
Southwick's position — harbour to the south, downs to the north — means properties get salt-laden air off the water and run-off from the higher ground behind. Gutters here fill faster than average and corrode faster too, and a blocked gutter on a solid-wall Victorian terrace puts water straight into the brickwork.
The interwar and postwar semis further north are now at the age where several things come due together: concrete roof tiles reaching end of life, original render cracking, single-glazed or early double-glazed units failing, and fencing needing replacement rather than repair. Doing those as one programme rather than four separate visits is usually cheaper.
Around Southwick Green the properties are older and the external appearance is more constrained, so repairs need to match what is already there rather than being done in whatever material is nearest to hand.
Catching Gutter Problems Before They Cost You
The cheapest gutter job is the one done before the wall gets wet. The signs are easy to spot from the ground: green algae or a dark damp patch on the wall below the gutter line, water visibly overshooting during rain, or plant growth in the gutter channel. Any of those means the system is not doing its job. Left through a winter, what would have been a clearing or a resealed joint becomes a replastering job inside.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you get to Southwick?
We are three miles west in Lancing, so travel is not a factor. For most jobs we can look at the work within the week.
Why do gutters block so quickly in Southwick?
The position between the harbour and the downs means properties get salt air off the water plus debris and run-off from the higher ground behind. Gutters here fill and corrode faster than average and are worth checking annually.
How do I know if my gutters need attention?
Look for green algae or a dark damp patch on the wall below the gutter line, water overshooting the edge during rain, or plants growing in the channel. Any of those means the system is not working.
Do you replace fascias and soffits as well as gutters?
Yes, and it is usually sensible to do both together. New gutter brackets will not hold securely in rotten fascia board, so replacing the timber at the same time avoids paying for the work twice.
Do you work on the older properties around Southwick Green?
Yes. Repairs on the older stock need to match the existing materials and appearance, and we quote on that basis rather than using whatever is cheapest.
Do you charge extra to work in Southwick?
No. Southwick is well within our normal coverage area and there is no travel premium.
