What flat roof work do we do in Littlehampton?

Liquid-applied roofing

Choose liquid roofing in Littlehampton when the shape of the roof makes sheet materials awkward: curved edges, small dormers with many corners, or a mix of levels joined by short upstands. Each detail is reinforced in the same material as the main area, so the whole roof is continuous.

Extension and kitchen roofs

Selling a house in Littlehampton with a tired extension roof can raise questions in the buyer's survey. A recent replacement, with building control sign-off where needed and written guarantees, gives a buyer confidence and removes a likely point of negotiation.

Flat roof surveys and leak tracing

Landlords and managing agents in Littlehampton often need a written record of a roof's condition, for budgeting, for leaseholders, or to show a problem has been looked at properly. A survey report gives them a clear basis for deciding when to repair and when to replace.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Littlehampton?

In a large town like Littlehampton flat roofs are mostly on 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches and newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced. The climate is part of the brief. 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.

Where approval is needed it goes to Arun District Council building control, or a registered building control approver.
