Flat Roofing in Sompting

Flat Roofing in Sompting

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 Sompting

Sompting lies between Worthing and Lancing at the foot of the South Downs, best known locally for its Saxon church with the distinctive Rhenish helm spire — one of the oldest buildings in this part of West Sussex. The village itself is a mix of older cottages near the historic core and extensive 20th-century residential development spreading up toward Steepdown and the Downs escarpment behind it, which shelters much of Sompting from the worst of the coastal wind but brings a different problem: shaded, north-facing roof slopes under the lee of the Downs that stay damp for longer and are noticeably more prone to moss and algae growth. We do a lot of roof cleaning, moss treatment, and tile replacement in Sompting for exactly that reason — moss holding moisture against tile edges is one of the most common causes of slipped and cracked tiles we find on inspection here. West Sussex Roofing serve Sompting, Worthing, and Lancing, offering free surveys, moss and algae treatment, and fixed-price quotations on all roofing work.
