What flat roof work do we do in Burgess Hill?

Green and sedum roofs

Small commercial buildings and blocks in Burgess Hill with a flat roof sometimes add an extensive green roof as part of a refurbishment. The structural check and safe access for maintenance matter even more on these larger roofs, which may need edge protection or fall-arrest points for each visit.

Emergency leak repairs

Businesses in Burgess Hill can't trade properly with water dripping onto the shop floor or into an office. An emergency visit makes the roof temporarily weathertight, and the inspection that follows tells you whether a repair will hold or the roof needs replacing.

Liquid-applied roofing

If a flat roof in Burgess Hill is ageing but still dry, firmly bonded and on a sound deck, a reinforced liquid system can be applied over it. That avoids the cost and mess of a full strip-out, provided the moisture and adhesion checks at survey show the existing roof is fit to build on.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Burgess Hill?

In a town like Burgess Hill flat roofs are mostly on terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms and shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats. 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.

Who approves flat roof work in Burgess Hill?

Where approval is needed it goes to Mid Sussex District Council building control, or a registered building control approver. Replacing more than half of a roof over a heated room usually counts as renovating a thermal element, so it is insulated to current standards and notified to building control. How the rules work.
