EPDM rubber roofs

EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane laid as a single sheet across a flat roof. With no joints across the main area, there are far fewer places for water to get in than on an old felt roof, and it copes well with summer heat and winter frost.

It suits garages, single-storey extensions, dormers, porches and bay roofs. We strip the old covering, check the decking boards underneath and replace any that are rotten, then bond the membrane to the clean deck. Edges are finished with trims, and rooflights, outlets and upstands against walls are detailed so they stay watertight.

Every EPDM roof we fit carries a 25-year manufacturer-backed guarantee on the membrane.

One example is a garage in Ewhurst, Surrey, where Walter replaced an old felt and gravel roof with EPDM. You can see it in our recent projects.

The price depends on the size of the roof, the condition of the deck, how many rooflights, vents or outlets it has, and how easy it is to get materials up there.

To get a quote, send Walter the rough length and width of the roof, photos from a safe position and details of any leaks. Ring 07828 745134 to talk it through.
