EPDM rubber roofing in Billingshurst for flat roofs on extensions, garages and dormers. One large rubber sheet with few or no joins keeps the water out, and every job starts with a free quote.
EPDM rubber stays flexible in hot and cold weather, so it doesn't crack as the roof moves. Laid in a single sheet on most home roofs, it has few or no joins where leaks usually start. It needs very little upkeep beyond keeping the gutters clear.
EPDM suits garages, single-storey extensions, dormers, porches and garden rooms. It can be laid around skylights and roof lanterns, and it looks neat with trims at the edges. On roofs with lots of foot traffic or very complex shapes, we may suggest another option.
The old covering comes off and the deck is checked or replaced. The rubber is bonded to the deck with adhesive, then edge trims and corners are fitted to finish the roof. Unlike torch-on felt, there's no naked flame involved in laying it.
We start by measuring the roof, checking the deck and looking at how water drains off it. Your free quote covers the rubber membrane, trims, any deck repairs and insulation if it's needed, so you know exactly what's included.
Most home EPDM roofs are fitted in a day or two. We strip the old roof, prepare the deck, bond the membrane, then fit the trims and check the outlet into the gutter. Before we leave, we tidy up and show you the finished roof.
Tell us what's happening with your roof. We aim to respond the same day, and there's no call-out charge.
We look at the roof, explain what we've found in plain terms and give you a free, no-obligation quote.
We carry out the work we quoted for, then talk you through what we've done before we leave.
The price depends on the size of the roof, the condition of the deck, how many skylights or upstands it has, and access. EPDM can cost a little more than felt to begin with, but it needs less upkeep. We measure up and give you a free quote.
Usually not. The old felt is normally removed so we can check the deck underneath and give the rubber a clean, smooth surface to bond to. Laying over old felt can trap moisture and hide rot, which shortens the life of the new roof.
No more than any other flat roof. The rubber sits on a solid timber deck, often with insulation underneath, so rain sounds much the same as it would on felt. It's far quieter than a polycarbonate or metal roof in a downpour.
Yes. Small punctures and tears can be patched with matching EPDM and the right primer and tape, and lifted edges can be re-bonded. If the damage is widespread, or water has got into the deck, we'll explain whether a repair or a new membrane is the better option.
