Flat Roofing in Sussex

Mascot Roofing installs, repairs and refurbishes flat roofs for homes, commercial buildings and other properties across Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Sussex and surrounding areas. We work with a range of proven flat-roof systems, allowing us to recommend an approach that suits the building, roof detail, expected use and available budget.

A flat roof needs more than a waterproof surface. Falls, outlets, upstands, roof edges, penetrations and ventilation all need to work together. Our team can inspect an existing roof, explain the available options and provide a clear quotation for repair, overlay or full replacement.

Flat-roof systems

Different roofs require different materials. Mascot Roofing works with systems used for domestic extensions, garages, dormers, commercial roofs and more complex refurbishment projects.

Built-up felt roofing

Modern built-up felt systems use multiple bonded layers to create a durable waterproof covering. Felt can be a practical choice for extensions, garages and larger roof areas, and it can be detailed around outlets, rooflights and changes in level.

Single-ply membranes

Single-ply membrane systems provide a lightweight waterproof covering with relatively few joints. Correct preparation, edge detailing and installation around penetrations are essential to long-term performance.

Liquid-applied and cold-applied systems

Liquid membranes, GRP, cold-melt and other cold-applied systems can be useful where a roof has complicated shapes or numerous details. The suitability of each product depends on the existing deck, roof use and required finish.

Green roofs

A green-roof build-up can add planting and biodiversity while protecting the waterproof layer below. The structure, drainage, waterproofing and maintenance requirements should all be considered before a system is selected.

Flat-roof repairs and replacement

Water staining, bubbling, splits, standing water and damaged edge details can all indicate that a flat roof needs attention. A visible leak does not always sit directly below the point where water is entering, so an inspection should consider the full roof area and adjoining details.

Where a local repair is appropriate, we will explain the affected area and the proposed treatment. If the covering has reached the end of its practical life, repeatedly patching it may be poor value; in that situation we can discuss replacement or refurbishment options.

Our approach

1. Initial discussion: we establish the roof type, symptoms, property location and access requirements.
2. Roof inspection: we assess the covering, deck, falls, drainage, edges, outlets and visible defects.
3. Clear recommendation: we explain suitable repair or replacement options without unnecessary jargon.
4. Detailed quotation: the proposed scope and materials are set out before work begins.
5. Professional installation: the roof is prepared and installed with close attention to junctions and waterproof details.

Flat-roofing questions

Can a leaking flat roof be repaired?

Often, yes. The right approach depends on the condition and age of the covering, the roof deck and the cause of the leak. We will advise whether a repair is sensible or whether replacement is likely to offer better value.

Which flat-roof system is best?

There is no single system that is right for every roof. Size, shape, substrate, access, drainage, appearance and budget all influence the recommendation.

Do you work on both domestic and commercial roofs?

Yes. Mascot Roofing undertakes flat-roof work on homes and commercial properties, subject to the project requirements and location.
