Flat Roofing in Selsey

Flat Roofing in Selsey

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 Selsey

Selsey sits at the tip of the Selsey Peninsula, almost completely surrounded by the sea on three sides — a geography that creates the most exposed roofing environment in West Sussex. Properties on Selsey are subject to salt-laden winds from virtually every direction during winter storms, and the corrosive marine environment dramatically shortens the effective service life of roofing materials that would last decades in an inland location. We advise all Selsey clients that inspection and maintenance intervals need to be shorter than average, and we recommend appropriate marine-grade materials wherever possible. The housing stock in Selsey is predominantly post-war bungalow development, with a substantial proportion of older properties in the original town centre and some more recent housing on the expanding residential fringes. Many of the older bungalows have now had one or more reroofing cycles and are due for reassessment. Flat-roofed garages and sun rooms are particularly common and represent a significant proportion of the repair and replacement work we carry out in the area. West Sussex Roofing serve all of Selsey and the Manhood Peninsula including East Wittering and Bracklesham Bay. We stock coastal-specification roofing materials and have wide experience of the particular demands of roofing in maritime exposure conditions. Free surveys and emergency call-outs are available throughout the area.
