Building Services in Sompting
Roofing, renovations and repairs across Sompting, from a team based next door in Lancing.
Your Local Builder Serving Sompting
Sompting is directly next to Lancing, where we are based — for a lot of jobs we are barely a mile away. That makes it one of the few places, along with Lancing itself, where a small job is genuinely worth calling us out for.
The village splits between the old core around the church and the downs edge, and the substantial postwar estates that run down towards the A27 and the coast road. Call Harry on 07598 864363 for a free quote.
Roofing, Renovations & Repairs in Sompting
We cover roofing and re-roofs, guttering, fascias and soffits, kitchen and bathroom renovations, plastering, tiling, flooring, plumbing, electrical work, fencing, patios, decking, painting and general repairs.
Because we are so close, we also take on the maintenance lists that other firms will not travel for — the half-dozen small jobs that have accumulated and are not individually worth a call-out.
What We Offer in Sompting
The full range of building and handyman work, from a team based a mile away in Lancing.
What Sompting Properties Tend to Need
Sompting sits at the point where the coastal plain meets the downs, and that position shapes the work. Properties on the higher, northern edge catch wind coming over the downs with little in the way, which takes out fence panels and lifts ridge tiles and dry verges on exposed roofs.
The postwar estates towards the coast road are the bulk of the housing, and they are at the age where several things come due together: concrete roof tiles at end of life, original render cracking, fencing needing full replacement, and early double glazing failing. Bundling that into one programme is almost always cheaper than four separate visits.
The older properties around the village core and the church are a different proposition — solid walls, older roof coverings and traditional materials that want repairing in kind rather than patching with a modern equivalent.
Bundling Up the Small Jobs
One of the most useful things about being a mile away is that the economics of small work change. Most households have a running list — a fence panel, a dripping tap, a gutter that overflows, a door that has dropped, a patch of blown plaster. Individually none of them justify a call-out. Together they are half a day, and we can do them in one visit at one price. If you have a list, read it out over the phone and we will tell you what it involves.

Frequently Asked Questions
How close are you to Sompting?
Very. We are based next door in Lancing, around a mile from most of Sompting, which makes small jobs and quick call-outs genuinely practical.
Will you come out for one small job?
Yes. Sompting and Lancing are the two places where a single small job is always worth the trip. If you have several small jobs, we will do them in one visit at one price.
Why do fence panels keep going over on the north side of Sompting?
The northern edge of the village catches wind coming over the downs with very little shelter. Concrete posts and gravel boards set at the right depth make far more difference than the panels themselves.
Several things need doing at once — is that cheaper?
Usually yes. Roof tiles, render, fencing and glazing on the postwar estates tend to reach end of life around the same time, and doing them as one programme costs less than four separate visits with four sets of setup.
Do you work on the older properties near the church?
Yes. The older village stock has solid walls and traditional roof coverings that need repairing in kind. We quote on that basis rather than using a modern equivalent that will behave differently.
Do you charge extra to come to Sompting?
No, and given we are a mile away it would be hard to justify. There is no travel premium.
