Flat Roofing in Crawley
Ponding water, cracks or a soft, spongy patch underfoot are among the most common reasons homeowners in Crawley get in touch with us, and left unchecked they can lead to leaks, damp and structural damage. All Round Roofing has been repairing and replacing flat roofs across Hampshire and West Sussex since 1976, working with EPDM, felt, liquid rubber and GRP systems.
Being family-run shapes how we work: we’d rather give you an honest answer than a hard sell. If a repair will genuinely do the job, that’s what we’ll recommend — a full re-cover only gets suggested when it’s actually needed.
You don’t need to already know what’s wrong before you call. Standing water after rain, a soft patch, or a leak that’s appeared indoors is reason enough to get in touch — we’ll help you work out what’s going on from there.
Flat Roofing Services We Provide in Crawley
EPDM Rubber Roofing
EPDM rubber is our preferred choice for flat roofing repairs and replacements — a single-membrane system with no seams to fail, built to cope with standing water and UK weather without the cracking or blistering that felt roofs are prone to. We fit and repair EPDM on house extensions, garages, sheds and outbuildings across Crawley.
Torch-On Felt Roofing
Torch-on felt is a three-layer system — an underlay, a mineral cap sheet and a bitumen covering — bonded to the deck using a blowtorch for a durable, cost-effective finish. It’s a proven option where a full EPDM upgrade isn’t needed.
Liquid Rubber Roofing
Liquid rubber is applied as a seamless coating that cures into a fully bonded waterproof membrane, ideal for awkward shapes, upstands and roofs with plenty of detailing where a sheet material would be harder to fit cleanly.
GRP Roofing (Fibreglass)
GRP (fibreglass) roofing gives a rigid, glass-reinforced finish valued for its strength and long lifespan, and works well on larger flat roof areas and balconies where extra durability matters.
Flat Roof Repairs AND Maintenance
Not every flat roof problem needs a full re-cover — we repair splits, blisters, perished flashing and localised damage where that’s genuinely the right call, and only recommend replacement when a repair won’t hold.
If you’re not sure whether your flat roof needs a quick repair or a full re-cover, that’s completely normal — most homeowners can’t tell from the ground. Get in touch and we’ll take a proper look before recommending anything.
Signs Your Flat Roof Needs Attention
Most flat roof problems give some warning before they become serious. Keep an eye out for:
- Water pooling on the roof for more than 48 hours after rain.
- Cracks, blisters or splits in the roofing membrane.
- A soft or spongy patch when walked on.
- Water stains or damp patches on ceilings below.
- Moss, debris or standing leaves building up on the surface.
- Flashing or edge trims lifting or coming away.
None of these automatically means you need a full re-cover — many are straightforward repairs when they’re caught early, which is exactly why it’s worth having a problem looked at rather than waiting to see if it gets worse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover all of Crawley for flat roofing?
Yes. We provide flat roofing across Crawley and the surrounding area, alongside Chichester, Portsmouth, Worthing and the wider Hampshire and West Sussex area.
My flat roof has water sitting on it — is that a big problem?
Not necessarily, but it’s worth having looked at. A small amount of standing water after heavy rain is common on flat roofs, but water that’s still there after a couple of dry days can point to a drainage or membrane problem, and left unchecked it can shorten the roof’s life.
How do I know if I need a flat roof repair or a full re-cover?
It depends on the age, condition and extent of the damage, which is why we always take a proper look before recommending anything. Many problems that look serious from below are straightforward repairs — we’ll always explain the honest options rather than push for the bigger job.
Are you insured?
Yes, All Round Roofing is a fully insured company.
Do you offer a guarantee on flat roofing work?
Yes — flat roofing work is covered by our 20-year flat roofing guarantee. We’ll confirm exactly what applies when we quote for your job.

Yes, quotations are free with no obligation to proceed.
