Flat Roofing in Midhurst, West Sussex

Does your flat roof look more like a garden pond after it rains? Standing water, or "ponding" as we call it, is one of the biggest signs that your roof isn't draining properly. Over time, that weight and moisture can lead to cracks, blisters, and eventually, a soggy carpet inside. Most homeowners we speak to in Midhurst are worried about their old bitumen roofs cracking in the heat or leaking through the seams. If you’ve noticed the edges peeling away or the surface looking like a dried-up riverbed, it’s probably time to chat about a modern upgrade that can handle the British weather without breaking a sweat.

Imagine a roof that moves with your house and lasts for over 50 years. That’s exactly what EPDM rubber roofing offers. It’s a single-ply membrane that’s incredibly flexible, meaning it won’t crack when the temperature swings from a freezing West Sussex winter to a hot summer day. We often recommend EPDM for residential extensions and garages because it’s tough, eco-friendly, and very low maintenance. Because it comes in large sheets, there are fewer seams for water to find its way through, giving you that extra peace of mind when the storms roll in from the South Downs. It's a fit-and-forget solution that homeowners love.

If you’re looking for a finish that’s as tough as a boat hull, GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is the way to go. It’s applied as a liquid and cures into a single, seamless sheet that’s completely waterproof. It’s a fantastic choice for balconies or roof terraces where you might be walking around, as it’s incredibly durable and looks very neat. Many of our Midhurst customers love the clean, modern look it gives their property. Plus, because there are zero joints or seams, there’s literally nowhere for a leak to start. It’s a premium choice for anyone who wants a roof that looks as good as it performs.

Don’t let the word "felt" put you off – the modern torch-on systems we use today are a world away from the stuff used forty years ago. We use high-performance elastomeric felt that’s designed to be much more resilient and flexible than traditional materials. It’s often the most cost-effective way to get a reliable, weatherproof seal on a garage, shed, or garden office. By using multiple layers of bitumen-soaked membrane, we create a thick, sturdy barrier that protects your home for years. It’s a tried-and-tested method that, when installed by experts like us, offers brilliant value for money without compromising on quality.
