Flat Roofing in Hove
Damp below a Hove extension, dormer or garage roof may come from the surface, an outlet or the edge where the flat roof meets a wall.
Flat roof leaks and replacements in Hove
On a Hove extension or dormer, water can enter at an outlet or where the flat roof meets masonry, doors or a pitched covering. The stain indoors may sit away from that failed edge.
GRP, EPDM and felt can all work on suitable roofs, but they need different details at edges and junctions. The deck, insulation, drainage and access all affect which system suits the property.
Hove and nearby areas
Hove reaches from seafront streets into quieter inland areas. An exposed roof edge can loosen in coastal weather, while a shaded gutter can fill with debris; each needs a different fix.

Questions about flat roofing in Hove
Does a flat roof in Hove need replacing if water pools?
Ponding deserves investigation, but it does not by itself prove the whole roof has failed. Falls, outlet condition and the existing system should be assessed together.
Could damp below a Hove extension come from the wall junction?
Yes. Water may enter at an upstand or where the flat roof meets masonry even when the open surface looks sound. The covering and wall detail need to be considered together.
How do you choose between GRP, EPDM and felt for a Hove flat roof?
The deck, insulation, drainage, access and shape of the roof affect which system is suitable. Edge, rooflight and outlet details matter alongside the material itself.
