What flat roof work do we do in Worthing?

EPDM rubber roofing

Where an older flat roof in Worthing has a sound structure but a tired covering, EPDM is a straightforward upgrade: strip, check the deck, add a warm-roof build-up if the room below is heated, and bond the new membrane. It also makes a good base for a sedum green roof.

Balconies and roof terraces

Balcony membranes in Worthing wear out like any roof, but faster where they are exposed to foot traffic, furniture and planters. Once the topcoat has worn through or cracked around posts and edges, a full re-waterproofing usually lasts longer than repeated patching.

Flat roof repairs

Landlords and managing agents in Worthing need a repair done properly once, rather than a quick fix that brings tenants back on the phone a month later. We trace the leak to its source and confirm the price in writing, so the repair can be approved and booked without guesswork.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Worthing?

In a large town like Worthing flat roofs are mostly on terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms and lock-up garage blocks on estates. 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.

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