Flat Roofing in Barnham

Flat Roofing in Barnham

Modern flat roofing systems are far more durable and long-lasting than the old felt that gave flat roofs a bad reputation. West Sussex Roofing install and repair all leading flat roofing systems across West Sussex. Our preferred specification for most residential flat roofs is fibreglass GRP — a seamless, rigid surface built to resist UV, ponding water, foot traffic, and root intrusion. Where flexibility is required we install EPDM rubber membrane, the market-leading commercial flat roof system trusted on buildings worldwide. We also carry out like-for-like felt replacements for heritage properties and temporary structures. Every flat roof installation includes proper drainage design, correct fall configuration, and perimeter edge detailing to the highest waterproofing standard.

About Barnham

Barnham grew up around its railway junction — still one of the busiest small stations in West Sussex — and that history shows in the housing: Edwardian and early-20th-century terraces and villas close to the station, giving way to larger post-war and modern estate development on the village's outer edges, all set within the flat arable farmland typical of the coastal plain between Chichester and Arundel. The older terraced stock tends to share party walls and chimney stacks with neighbouring properties, which means flashing and chimney work often needs coordinating carefully to avoid disturbing an adjoining roof. The flat, low-lying land around Barnham means drainage is a bigger factor here than in the hillier parts of West Sussex — gutters and downpipes that are even slightly undersized or blocked show up as damp problems fast, because there's little natural fall to help water clear. We see this most often on the flat-roofed rear extensions common on the village's older terraces.
