The Benefits of an EPDM Rubber Roof
EPDM is a flexible roofing membrane that can accommodate normal movement within a flat roof structure. It is also resistant to changing weather conditions and does not rely on multiple overlapping layers across the main roof area.
The final performance of an EPDM roof depends on correct preparation and installation. Particular attention must be paid to the deck, roof edges, corners, outlets and any areas where the roof meets a wall.
We will explain whether EPDM is suitable for your property and discuss any alternative flat roofing options where appropriate.
Why Choose R W Roofing Services Ltd?
The quality of an EPDM roof depends heavily on the preparation of the deck and the detailing around vulnerable areas.
R W Roofing Services Ltd combines experienced roofing knowledge with honest advice and careful workmanship.
EPDM Rubber Roofing FAQs
What is EPDM roofing?
EPDM is a flexible rubber membrane used to create a weather-resistant covering on suitable flat and low-pitched roofs.
What buildings can have an EPDM roof?
EPDM may be suitable for extensions, garages, dormers, porches, garden buildings and other domestic flat roofs.
Can EPDM be installed over an existing roof?
That depends on the condition and construction of the existing roof. In many cases, removing the old covering allows the roof deck to be inspected and prepared properly.
Can you repair a damaged EPDM roof?
Some localised damage may be repairable. We would need to inspect the roof before confirming whether repair or replacement is the better option.
Can you replace rotten roof decking?
Yes. Damaged or rotten decking can be removed and replaced before the EPDM membrane is installed.
Is EPDM suitable for every flat roof?
Not necessarily. The roof design, pitch, drainage, deck and adjoining details all need to be considered.
Do you cover areas outside Reading?
Yes. We cover Reading and surrounding areas across Berkshire, Hampshire, Buckinghamshire and Surrey.
