Roof Coating in East Grinstead
Roof coating is a protective liquid membrane applied to an existing, structurally sound roof covering after cleaning and biocide treatment, intended to seal, waterproof and extend the working life of tiles, slates or a flat roof membrane without the cost of full replacement.
In East Grinstead, that covers Ashurst Wood, Forest Row, Dormans Park, West Hoathly, Felbridge, Turners Hill, Imberhorne. East Grinstead's High Street is one of the best-preserved medieval streets in Sussex, lined with timber-framed and Georgian-fronted buildings, while the wider town includes Victorian terraces, 20th-century suburbs and newer estates. The town sits close to Ashdown Forest and the Weald countryside that gives the region its name.

Yes, we cover the RH19 postcode area in full, including Ashurst Wood, Forest Row, Dormans Park, West Hoathly, Felbridge, Turners Hill, Imberhorne.
Will a roof coating stop my roof leaking?
Not if the leak is caused by a failed flashing, cracked tile or other specific defect — coating seals and waterproofs a sound but ageing covering, it doesn't fix an active fault. We assess this at survey and recommend repair first where that's the actual cause.
How long does a roof coating last?
It varies by product and roof exposure, but a well-applied coating typically extends a roof's serviceable life by a number of years before recoating or eventual replacement is needed. We can advise on the expected lifespan of the specific product recommended for your roof.
Can I extend a listed building in East Grinstead town centre?
Listed buildings require listed building consent for alterations that affect their character, in addition to any planning permission needed. We assess this on a case-by-case basis and can advise on the likely process.
