Flat Roofing in Goring-by-Sea

Flat Roofing in Goring-by-Sea

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 Goring-by-Sea

Goring-by-Sea forms the western edge of Worthing, a mainly residential stretch of 1930s semis and detached houses along and behind the seafront, with a smaller pocket of larger period properties around Goring village itself near St Mary's church. The bulk of the roofing stock is that classic interwar build — clay or concrete tile on a moderate pitch — much of which is now on its second or even third roof covering, and we see a consistent pattern of ridge and hip failures on these older tiled roofs as the original fixings and mortar finally give out. Being directly on the seafront, Goring gets the same salt-air and wind-driven rain exposure as the rest of Worthing's coastal strip, which tends to shorten the interval between maintenance visits compared with properties just a mile or two inland. Guttering and fascias facing the sea show visibly faster wear than those on the sheltered, landward side of the same house — something we point out to a lot of Goring homeowners during survey.
