What flat roof work do we do in Horley?

EPDM rubber roofing

If your Horley roof has been patched more than once and the felt is cracking or blistering, a full replacement in EPDM can be better value than another repair. The rubber stays flexible through hot summers and freezing nights, and the replacement is the right point to bring the insulation up to standard.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Horley?

In a town like Horley flat roofs are mostly on newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced and bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers. Local weather shapes the specification. Much of the South East sits in the drier Thames catchment at roughly 730 mm of rain a year, so the usual failures are at joints, upstands and outlets rather than from sheer volume of rain. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
