📞 Call Now: 0140 358 1272Flat roofs in North Heath are concentrated on rear extensions and integral garages from the mixed 1960s–90s residential with some earlier Victorian and Edwardian properties. The relatively sheltered Low Weald position — damp conditions favour moss but wind exposure is moderate. Felt systems installed at the time of these builds are now 25–50 years old and consistently at or beyond end of life. We replace them with GRP fibreglass or EPDM as standard — modern systems with 25-year manufacturer guarantees.
The properties on North Heath Lane, Wickhurst Green and the roads off Brighton Road north and across North Heath are predominantly mixed 1960s–90s residential with some earlier Victorian and Edwardian properties. The local conditions — relatively sheltered Low Weald position — damp conditions favour moss but wind exposure is moderate — directly affect which repairs are most common and how we specify the work. We carry materials matched to the most frequent North Heath repair types on every van.
Typical cost: £900–£6,000. All quotes are written, itemised and fixed — no hidden extras. Free surveys with no call-out fee anywhere in North Heath.

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.
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.
Predominantly post-war semis and 1970s closes with driveway access; North Heath Lane itself is busy at school times, so deliveries book outside the run. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Horsham District Council; allow a few working days on streets like North Heath Lane, Godwin Way 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 RH12 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. Concrete-tile stock at re-fix age - slipped tiles after south-westerly blows are the standard emergency here.
