📞 Call Now: 0140 358 1272The dominant roofing challenge in Crawley is shaped by large-scale post-war new town development — 1950s–80s estates form the majority of the housing stock, with significant concrete interlocking tile roofing. Nail sickness is widespread across Crawley's post-war estates, particularly in the older development areas around Gossops Green, Langley Green and Northgate. Concrete tile stock from the 1950s–70s is now 50–70 years old, well into the nail failure zone. Flat roofs on the new town's many maisonettes and community buildings are also a recurring maintenance issue. The local climate — Crawley's slightly elevated position on the Low Weald, combined with proximity to Gatwick airport's microclimate, creates a relatively exposed weather environment compared to more sheltered West Sussex towns — affects how quickly roofing elements deteriorate.
We carry out free surveys across Crawley with no call-out fee. Written, itemised, fixed-price quote before any work starts. Typical cost: £900–£6,000.

Flat roofs fail differently from pitched - and the symptoms usually show inside before the roof looks bad outside.
When it is not the answer: A sound deck with one split or a failed lap can be repaired for a fraction of replacement - and if the roof is under 10 years old, the original installer’s guarantee should be your first call, not us. Read the full guide.
The housing stock in Crawley is predominantly 1950s–80s new town development with large concrete interlocking tile estates. Nail sickness on post-war estates in Gossops Green, Langley Green and Northgate where 50–70 year old concrete tiles have corroding steel fixings. The local climate — Relatively exposed Low Weald position with Gatwick microclimate increasing precipitation — directly affects how quickly roofing elements deteriorate and how we approach specification.

We check the covering, the falls, the edge details and - critically - probe whether the deck beneath is sound or rotten.
Deck condition assumptions stated plainly; warm-deck insulation specified where the room below is habitable (a Building Regulations requirement).
GRP and EPDM need dry conditions to cure and bond - we book against the forecast honestly.
Old covering off, deck inspected, rot cut out and re-boarded, insulation laid on warm-deck builds.
GRP fibreglass laid wet with trims, or one-piece EPDM membrane - edge details and outlets done properly, because that is where flat roofs actually fail.
Falls checked with water where possible, guarantee handed over - 20 years on GRP systems we install.
| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Garage roof (single) | 1-2 days |
| Kitchen extension | 2-3 days |
| Larger wrap-around extension | 3-5 days |
| Dormer top | 1-2 days |
| Repair to split or lap | Half day |
GRP will not cure below about 5°C or in rain - winter jobs wait for a dry window, and we would rather move a date than trap moisture under a new covering.
Most domestic flat roofs run from towers and edge protection rather than full scaffold. Scaffold is specified for: first-floor or higher flat roofs, and any job with sustained edge work over a public path - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
New Town neighbourhood stock is uniform post-war concrete tile with driveway access; the old High Street and Ifield village frontages need Crawley Borough Council footway licences. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Crawley Borough Council; allow a few working days on streets like High Street, Ifield Road where space is tight.
| Job | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Garage roof in GRP | £1,400-£2,400 | Deck condition dependent |
| Kitchen extension, GRP warm deck | £2,200-£4,200 | Incl. insulation to Building Regs |
| Extension in EPDM | £1,800-£3,500 | One-piece membrane |
| Dormer top | £900-£1,800 | GRP or EPDM |
| Split/lap repair | £250-£550 | Where deck is sound |
Worked example: A 1990s Broadbridge Heath integral garage roof: rotten chipboard deck replaced with OSB3, finished in GRP with new edge trims, £2,100 over two days.
No deposit on repairs; extensions and garages typically split start/completion. Nothing before materials arrive.
Covering RH10, RH11 and surrounding postcodes.
GRP systems carry a 20-year guarantee on ours; EPDM membranes carry long manufacturer warranties with our 10-year workmanship cover on the installation.
If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
A day or three of resin smell on GRP jobs - strong but temporary - and the deck strip is the noisy part. Gardens below get sheeted, and we need outside power. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Curing chemistry rules the diary: we lay in dry weather only, and an unexpected shower means stopping and protecting rather than pressing on. Uniform 1950s-60s estates mean whole streets hit nail-sickness age together - if your neighbours are re-roofing, a survey is worth it.
Crawley is the largest town in West Sussex and has a significant volume of deferred roofing maintenance across its post-war estates. We attend Crawley regularly and have good knowledge of the access requirements on the town's estate roads — scaffold siting, skip licencing and parking restrictions on the tighter new-town streets.
All roofing work in Crawley carries a written 10-year workmanship guarantee. We are NFRC registered with £5 million public liability insurance. Our guarantee is backed by a named, verifiable local contractor — not a company that will have dissolved by the time you need to claim.

West Sussex's Low Weald and coastal climate creates specific roofing challenges that differ from drier UK regions — accelerated moss growth, faster lead corrosion rates, and wind loading that varies significantly between sheltered Weald towns and exposed coastal or elevated locations like Crawley. We adjust our specifications for each location rather than applying a generic national standard.
NFRC registered and fully insured, we cover Crawley, Horsham, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, East Grinstead and all of West Sussex for all roofing services including 24/7 emergency call-outs.
