When to replace a flat roof
Patch repairs stop working once a flat roof has blisters, splits and cracks across its surface, or water sits in puddles for days after rain. Soft spots underfoot usually mean the deck below is wet. At that point, a new roof is the lasting fix.

EPDM, fibreglass or felt
We fit three main flat roof systems. EPDM rubber is a single flexible sheet, fibreglass is a hard seamless layer that suits balconies, and torch-on felt is a layered, cost-effective option. We'll explain which suits your roof, how you use it and your budget.

Getting the drainage right
Flat roofs aren't completely flat. They need a slight fall so rain runs to the gutter or outlet. Many old flat roofs fail because water sits on them. When we replace one, we check the fall and correct it where needed, so the new roof drains properly.
What to expect from a flat roof replacement
We start by inspecting the roof and, where possible, the ceiling underneath, to see how far any water has spread. You get a free quote that sets out the system we recommend, any deck repairs and the edge trims. We then agree a date when a dry spell is forecast.
On the day, we strip the old covering back to the deck and replace any rotten or soft boards. The new roof is laid, with upstands, edge trims and outlets finished so water can't get behind them. Most garage and extension roofs are done in one to three days.

Flat roof replacement questions
How much does a flat roof replacement cost in Burgess Hill?
It depends on the size of the roof, the system you choose, how much of the deck needs replacing and how easy the roof is to reach. EPDM, fibreglass and felt are priced differently. We look at the roof and give you a free quote for each option that suits it.
Which flat roof system lasts longest?
EPDM rubber and fibreglass roofs fitted properly generally last longer than traditional felt, and modern torch-on felt lasts much longer than older felt roofs. How long any roof lasts depends on the fall, the quality of fitting and how much the roof is walked on.
Can you replace a flat roof in winter in Burgess Hill?
Yes, but it depends on the system. EPDM can be fitted in cooler weather as long as it's dry. Fibreglass needs dry conditions and a minimum temperature to cure properly, so it's better in milder weather. We'll plan the job around the forecast and the system you choose.
Do I need permission to replace a flat roof on my extension?
Replacing a flat roof like for like doesn't usually need planning permission. Building regulations may apply if most of the roof is being replaced, which can mean adding insulation. Listed buildings and conservation areas have extra rules. We'll explain what applies to your home.
