FAQs
Flat Roofing in Dorking: FAQs
Do you provide flat roofing across all of Dorking?
Yes, we cover the RH4 and RH5 postcode areas in full, including Westcott, Milton Heath, Pixham, Ranmore, North Holmwood, Betchworth.
Which flat roof system should I choose — EPDM, GRP or felt?
EPDM offers a long lifespan with a single membrane and few joints, suiting most domestic flat roofs; GRP suits roofs with complex upstands and detailing since it's laid and cured seamlessly in situ; felt is the lowest-cost option but has the shortest expected lifespan. We advise on the right system for your roof and budget at survey.
Why does my flat roof have ponding water?
Ponding usually means the roof's falls — the slight slope that directs water to an outlet — are insufficient or have settled over time. We assess and correct falls as part of re-covering rather than simply laying a new membrane over the same problem.
Can barns near Dorking be converted to residential use?
It depends on the specific planning history and policy for the building, including whether Class Q permitted development rights apply. This is assessed individually for each building.
