Flat Roofing in Cocking

Flat Roofing in Cocking

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 Cocking

Cocking sits directly beneath the South Downs escarpment on the old A286, one of the more exposed village positions in this part of West Sussex, with the chalk downland rising steeply immediately to the south of the village. The housing here is a mix of flint and brick cottages in the older centre and more recent housing along the approach roads, and the village's position hard against the hillside means it catches strong, funnelling winds coming off the Downs that villages further out on the plain simply don't experience in the same way. That exposure is the main factor in roofing work around Cocking — ridge tiles and hip tiles take a real battering here compared with a sheltered inland village, and we routinely find wind-lifted or displaced tiles on properties that would show no such wear a few miles away. Older cottages with traditional clay tile need mortar bedding and ridge fixings checked more often than the standard maintenance interval suggests.
