Flat roofing in Worthing
Flat roofs built on something sound.
Worthing has a lot of flat roofs. Rear extensions on Victorian and Edwardian terraces, garages and porches on inter-war semis, dormers on chalet bungalows, and balconies along the seafront. Most were covered decades ago, and many are now on their second or third patch repair.
Being on the coast makes it harder on them. Wind-driven rain finds its way in at the edges and upstands, salt air works on the trims, and water left standing on a sagging deck eventually gets through. Wayne looks at the deck and the build-up first, then recommends the covering, so your new roof is sitting on something sound.
What Wayne covers in Worthing

- Garage, porch and bay roofs, from a repair to a new deck
- Warm roofs where a kitchen or living room sits below

See the difference, roof by roof.
Each pair shows the same roof, before or part-way through the job and then finished. A careful finish is easier to see than to describe.

Good to know
Questions, answered.
Something else on your mind? Wayne is happy to talk it through.
Call 07846 896282Do you cover all of Worthing for flat roofing?
Yes. Worthing is home for LDR Roofing, so the whole town is covered, from the centre and Broadwater to Tarring, Durrington, Findon Valley and Goring. Send your postcode if you are unsure.
Which flat roof covering will you recommend?
That depends on the roof. Most extensions and garages suit a torch-on felt system finished with a mineral cap sheet, and hot melt is an option on some roofs. Wayne checks the deck and the falls first, then explains why he is recommending what he is.
Will a new flat roof need Building Regulations approval?
Often, yes, if most of the covering over a heated room is being replaced: that usually counts as renovating the roof, and the insulation then has to be brought up to current standards. Wayne will tell you whether it applies to yours, and a warm roof is often the neatest way to meet it.
Can I see flat roofs Wayne has done?
Yes. The gallery has photos from Wayne's own flat roof jobs, including the roof with two roof lights at the top of this page, and his Checkatrade and MyBuilder profiles have more. None of them are stock images.
