When a storm hits Bognor Regis, seafront and suburban properties can lose tiles fast. We offer 24/7 emergency response to all Bognor Regis postcodes — call any time and we'll get there.
Bognor Regis is one of the most storm-exposed towns in our coverage area. The seafront position means south-westerly gales arrive with nothing to slow them — and when they do, tile loss on the Edwardian terraces along Clarence Road and Aldwick Road, and on the large concrete tile estates in Bersted and north Bognor, can be rapid and severe. We provide 24/7 emergency response to all Bognor Regis postcodes.
The most important thing after storm damage in Bognor is speed. A roof left open overnight on the seafront can allow water ingress from a second weather system that causes far more internal damage than the initial tile loss. Our emergency response prioritises a watertight make-safe above everything else — temporary sheeting if needed, then a full survey and permanent repair quote once the roof is secure.
Emergency make-safe: from £150 · Full storm damage repair (post-assessment): £200–£1,500 depending on scale. Insurance claim support included at no extra cost. All pricing confirmed before we attend.

01243 278085"Storm damage at 9pm — tiles off the back roof and water in the loft. Called and they were with us first thing and had it made safe before the next weather came in. Absolutely reliable."
"Three tiles gone from the seafront side of our Aldwick Road property. Called on a Sunday, sorted Monday morning. They also flagged two more tiles that were about to go. Thorough and very helpful."
"Ridge section collapsed in a January storm. They were here within hours, made it safe with temporary sheeting, then came back for the full repair two days later. Excellent service in a stressful situation."
Bognor regis is the most exposed coastal town in our coverage area — the seafront and the residential streets behind the promenade face direct solent weather with minimal shelter. For emergency roofing in Bognor Regis this means galvanised nail fixings corrode faster here than anywhere else we cover — nail sickness on Bognor seafront properties appears 5 to 10 years earlier than equivalent inland properties. The mix of edwardian seafront terraces, 1930s semis and post-war residential behind the town centre covers every roofing era, with the seafront properties facing the most aggressive salt air exposure. We specify stainless fixings as standard on all bognor re-roofing and use patination oil on all lead work as a baseline, not an upgrade.
The seafront and the streets immediately behind the promenade in Bognor generate a disproportionate number of our most severe post-storm calls. The combination of unshielded coastal exposure, aging nail fixings on the 1930s semi-detached stock, and mortar-bedded ridges that have not been refreshed for decades creates a high-vulnerability profile. After any significant south-westerly storm event, we expect to be on the Bognor seafront within 24 hours. We carry sufficient materials on every vehicle to make safe multiple properties in a single attendance.
A roofing emergency in Chichester is an active leak, storm-displaced tiles, or exposed felt letting water in now — anything where waiting means water damage inside.
When it is not the answer: If the underlying covering is sound and the problem is localised, a targeted repair is the honest answer rather than a larger job. Read the full guide.

Bognor's seafront terraces and interwar semis mean straightforward front access on most estates, tighter on the older High Street stock. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Arun District Council; allow a few working days on streets like High Street, London Road, Sudley Road where space is tight.

We can typically reach Bognor Regis within 2–4 hours of your call. For properties in immediate danger of structural water ingress, call 01243 278085 directly — we triage by urgency.
Storm tile loss on seafront properties, active water ingress through the ceiling, displaced ridge sections, and any situation where the roof structure is exposed to weather. Bognor's coastal position makes these situations more time-critical than inland — a second storm can cause far worse damage to an already open roof.
Out-of-hours emergency call-outs carry a call-out charge which we confirm before attending. All subsequent repair work is quoted transparently — no hidden additions once we're on site.
Yes. We can provide a full written damage report and photographic evidence for insurance submissions. Many of our Bognor emergency jobs lead to full insurance-backed repairs — we're experienced with the process.
If safe to do so, move valuables and furniture away from any active drip or wet area. Place a bucket or towels to catch water but do not attempt to go on the roof yourself. If the ceiling looks bowed or heavily saturated, leave that room. Call us on 01243 278085 and we will talk you through any immediate steps while we are on the way.
Yes — this is our standard approach. We arrive with roofing felt, timber and fixing materials to make the roof weathertight on the day. The temporary repair protects the property while materials are sourced and weather allows the permanent work. We quote the permanent repair clearly before starting.
Yes. Emergencies do not follow working hours and neither do we. Our emergency line (01243 278085) is staffed around the clock for Bognor Regis and the surrounding area. Evening and weekend call-outs are available at no extra call-out charge — you pay for the work, not the timing.
When you call on 01243 278085 with an active roof emergency, we triage immediately. The first question is whether water is entering now or whether the risk is imminent. If yes, we commit to a same-day attendance time and you come off the phone knowing when we arrive. We carry temporary sheeting — heavy-duty polythene, roofing felt, timber and fixings — on every vehicle. On arrival, the first priority is making the roof safe: covering exposed structure, securing loose elements, sealing the immediate entry point. The make-safe is completed before any assessment of permanent repair begins.
Once the immediate risk is controlled, we carry out a full roof condition assessment in daylight. This covers every elevation — not just the area that failed. Emergency call-outs frequently reveal pre-existing deterioration that contributed to the failure: nail sickness that allowed tiles to lift in a gale that a properly fixed roof would have survived; open ridge bedding that created the weak point where wind concentrated; failed lead that had been channelling water for months before the storm triggered the visible internal leak. We photograph everything, provide a written damage report suitable for insurance purposes, and give you a clear quote for permanent repair. The make-safe is charged at the time of the visit. The permanent repair quote is separate and there is no obligation to proceed with us.
A make-safe visit including temporary sheeting of a standard roof breach typically costs £150 to £450 depending on the size of the area to be covered and the complexity of access. Permanent repair costs are quoted separately after the full assessment. For insurance purposes we provide a written report that distinguishes storm damage from pre-existing deterioration — this is the document your loss adjuster needs to process the claim. We do not charge separately for the insurance report.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Just an honest quote from a local roofer.
