From time to time, any flat roof on a Hassocks home will need to be replaced. This is because flat roofs will generally wear out or fail more quickly than pitched roofs, although the frequency with which this happens depends on the materials your Hassocks roofer used.

Time for a change?

When it comes to replacing the flat roof of your Hassocks home, it can be a good idea to review the roofing material you use, especially if you have a traditional felt flat roof. There are several newer options on the market, which a skilled Hassocks roofer could install to help improve the reliability and reduce the maintenance burden of your flat roof.

Flat roofing options

These are some of the options your Hassocks roofer might be able to help you choose from:

• traditional felt-bonded roofing: cheap and quick to install, but prone to damage and leaks
• GRP fibreglass roofing: long-lasting and maintenance-free, as long as it’s laid correctly
• EPDM rubber roofing: offers similar benefits to GRP roofing
• built up roofing: a tar and gravel solution, often used on commercial buildings
• sheeted flat roofing: an ideal solution for many commercial premises
• single ply membranes: created from strong and flexible membranes, and can be combined with insulation for a complete solution.
