New Flat Roof Peacehaven
When a flat roof keeps leaking, holds water or has been patched more times than anyone can remember, replacing it is usually the most sensible option. A new flat roof stops the cycle of repairs, protects the structure underneath and can make the room below warmer and more comfortable. Bramwell Roofing Sussex installs new flat roofs in Peacehaven for extensions, garages, dormers, porches, bungalows and commercial buildings.
Peacehaven’s clifftop position means roofs here are exposed to salt-laden air, strong winds and driving rain for much of the year. We choose materials and details that stand up to those conditions, and we fit them carefully so your new roof performs for decades rather than years.
Signs It May Be Time for a New Flat Roof
- Leaks that return after being repaired
- Large areas of cracking, splitting or blistering
- A spongy or sagging feel underfoot, which can mean the deck is rotten
- Water that pools in the same places after every downpour
- Damp, mould or staining in the room below
- An old felt roof that has reached the end of its natural life
If you’re not sure whether your roof needs replacing, we’ll inspect it and give you an honest answer. Sometimes a flat roof repair is all that’s needed.
Flat Roofing Systems We Install
EPDM rubber is a single-ply membrane that is flexible, resistant to UV and very low-maintenance. It copes well with temperature changes and suits most domestic extensions and garages.
GRP fibreglass forms a seamless, hard-wearing surface that can take light foot traffic. It’s a popular choice for dormers, balconies and roofs where a neat, crisp finish matters.
Torch-on felt systems have improved enormously. A modern multi-layer felt roof with a mineral cap sheet is tough, cost-effective and a good choice for many properties.
We’ll explain the pros and cons of each system for your building and budget, so you can choose with confidence.
What a New Flat Roof Installation Involves
We start by stripping the old covering and checking the timbers and deck underneath. Any rotten boards are replaced so the new roof has a solid, dry base. Where it makes sense, we can add insulation to create a warm roof, which helps reduce heat loss and condensation. We then build in proper falls so rainwater drains away rather than ponding, before laying the new covering and finishing the edges, trims, upstands and flashings.
Throughout the job we keep your property protected and the site tidy, and we clear everything away when we’ve finished. We’ll also make sure gutters and outlets are clear so the new roof drains as it should.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to fit a new flat roof?
Most domestic flat roofs, such as a garage or single-storey extension, take one to three days, depending on size, weather and whether the deck needs replacing.
How long will a new flat roof last?
A well-installed EPDM or GRP roof can last 25 years or more, and a modern felt system typically lasts 20 years or more with basic maintenance.
Can you insulate my flat roof at the same time?
Yes. Replacing the roof is the ideal time to add insulation, which can make the room below warmer and help reduce energy bills.
