Flat Roofing in Worthing
Flat roof replacement covers stripping an existing flat roof back to the deck and re-covering it with a modern waterproof system — EPDM rubber membrane, GRP fibreglass or traditional felt — chosen according to the roof's size, detailing and expected lifespan.
In Worthing, that covers Tarring, Broadwater, Durrington, Goring-by-Sea, Findon Valley, Heene. Worthing is a seafront town with a strong Edwardian and interwar residential character, notable Art Deco buildings along the seafront, and a wide range of housing types stretching inland towards the South Downs.

FAQs
Flat Roofing in Worthing: FAQs
Do you provide flat roofing across all of Worthing?
Yes, we cover the BN11, BN12, BN13 and BN14 postcode areas in full, including Tarring, Broadwater, Durrington, Goring-by-Sea, Findon Valley, Heene.
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.
Are Worthing's seafront buildings protected?
Many of the town's notable Art Deco and Edwardian seafront buildings are listed or within conservation areas, which affects what external changes can be made without consent. We check this for individual properties.
