On the front line of the coast, Marine Parade is Victorian seafront terraces and 1930s flat-roof apartment blocks standing in direct Channel exposure.

This is the maximum salt-air zone in Worthing — direct English Channel exposure with salt spray, sustained gales and intense UV — the highest-maintenance roofing position we cover. On this stock, the flat-roof failures we see most are ponding and blistered felt, wind-uplift failure on exposed low-pitch and flat roofs and lifted edges after gales. Every flat-roofing job in Marine Parade gets front-line coastal spec — flat-roof renewal on the blocks and salt-grade lead and slate work on the terraces.
GRP fibreglass is our standard specification for all flat roofing in coastal West Sussex. It lasts 40–50 years versus 8–12 for felt in coastal conditions.
Every flat roof job begins with structural deck inspection. If the deck is compromised, we replace it before applying GRP — never overlay onto rot.
Minimum 1:80 fall on all flat roofs. Minimum 150mm upstands — 200mm on coastal-facing properties.
