Modern Systems That Last Decades

The old three layer felt that was standard 30 years ago rarely lasts beyond 15 years in Sussex. EPDM rubber membranes and GRP fibreglass systems change that completely. EPDM bonds to the deck in a single seamless layer with no joints to fail. GRP cures into a rigid waterproof shell. Both carry long manufacturer guarantees and handle the freeze and thaw cycles that make short work of older materials.

Falls, Drainage and Edge Details Done Right

A flat roof is not truly flat. Correct falls drain water to the outlet before it has time to pond and stress the membrane. We plan falls before any decking goes down, fit the right outlet positions and dress all upstands, trims and edge details so water has one exit route and cannot find another. This is the part most call-backs come from, and we get it right first time.

Insulation Built In From the Start

Flat roofs over living spaces need proper insulation or the room below becomes a freezer in January and an oven in July. We specify and install tapered insulation boards that achieve the required U-values and double as the fall system, so no space is wasted and the thermal performance is built in rather than bolted on afterwards.

About us

Flat roofing has changed more than any other part of our trade in the last 10 years. We invested in proper EPDM and GRP training early, because the old felt systems we kept being called out to repair showed us exactly what not to install. Today our flat roofs carry guarantees we are confident standing behind.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best flat roof system for a garage in Burgess Hill?

For most garages we recommend EPDM rubber. It goes on as a single piece with no joins, is tough underfoot for occasional roof access and handles ponding better than felt. GRP is another excellent option, especially where a very hard wearing finish is needed. We will advise on the best system for your specific garage after a free look.

How long does a flat roof last?

Traditional felt typically lasts 10 to 15 years before problems start. Properly installed EPDM is expected to last 50 years or more, and GRP fibreglass systems are similarly long lived. The key is correct installation. A cheap job with a good material still fails early.

Can a flat roof be walked on?

EPDM and GRP roofs can be walked on for access and maintenance, although they are not designed as terraces without additional protection. If you want a usable roof terrace, we can specify a suitable build up with paving or decking over the membrane. Tell us at the quote stage and we will design for it.
