Flat Roofing in Yapton

Flat Roofing in Yapton

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 Yapton

Yapton is one of the larger villages on the flat coastal plain between Barnham and the Ford junction, with an old core of brick-and-flint cottages and a substantial amount of newer housing built as the village has expanded over recent decades. Like much of this part of the coastal plain, Yapton sits on low-lying, poorly-draining ground, and that has a direct roofing consequence: guttering, downpipes, and soakaways all need to be working properly, because there's very little natural fall to shift water away from a property that isn't draining as it should. The mix of older cottages and newer estate housing in Yapton means we do everything from careful, sympathetic tile-matching repair on period buildings to straightforward reroofing on 1980s and 1990s semis. Given the flat terrain, we pay particular attention to valley gutters and box gutters on Yapton properties, since these are the parts of a roof most likely to hold water rather than shed it when the fall isn't quite right.
