Single-ply EPDM rubber flat roof — few seams, long service life.
Symptoms & warning signs
- A garage, extension or outbuilding roof needing a long-life, low-maintenance covering
- Repeated seam failures on an older multi-piece membrane
- Shrinkage pulling an existing membrane away from upstands and trims
- A roof where minimal joints are preferable — a single sheet can often cover the whole area
- Ageing felt reaching the end of its service life
Inspection & diagnosis
Every quote begins with an inspection. Where a roof is inaccessible, complex or storm-damaged, we can carry out a drone inspection to capture imagery and annotated findings before recommending works.
Typical scope of work
- Strip of the old covering and inspection or replacement of the deck
- Insulation and vapour control layer where a warm roof is specified
- Single-piece EPDM membrane cut and relaxed on site to size
- Bonding to deck and upstands with the manufacturer's adhesive system
- Edge trims, drip profiles, corners and outlets formed with proprietary components
- Abutment flashings and wall terminations detailed and sealed
Timescale
Most domestic EPDM roofs are completed in one to two days. Adhesives need dry conditions and reasonable temperatures, so work is scheduled around the weather.
Guarantee & aftercare
EPDM installations carry our written workmanship guarantee together with the membrane manufacturer's warranty. EPDM needs very little aftercare beyond keeping the surface and outlets clear of debris.
Project evidence
Every job is photographed before, during and after the work, so you can see what was found, what was done and what it looks like finished — including the parts of the roof you cannot see from the ground. Those photographs are shared with you and, with permission, may be used as a case study.
