Why Choose Our EPDM Rubber Roofing Services in Swanley & Sevenoaks?

Why Choose an EPDM Rubber Roof for Your Flat Roof?

Upgrading to a rubber flat roof provides homeowners with unmatched peace of mind. Older traditional felt roofs often suffer from moss build-up, UV degradation, and joint failure, leading to frustrating leaks. EPDM technology solves these problems entirely.Exceptional Longevity: A professionally installed rubber membrane has a life expectancy exceeding 50 years, making it an incredibly cost-effective long-term solution.Seamless Installation: Because EPDM is usually supplied in single, custom-cut sheets, there are few or no joints on your roof. Fewer joints mean fewer weak points where water can penetrate.Weather and UV Resistance: The material naturally expands and contracts with changing temperatures, meaning it will not crack during freezing winter storms or blister in the hot summer sun.Low Maintenance: Once fitted, an EPDM flat roof requires virtually no upkeep, saving you money on regular patch repairs.Speak to our local flat roof experts today on 01689 663319 to discuss the benefits of EPDM for your specific property.

Our EPDM Flat Roof Installation Process

We believe in doing the job right the first time. Our seamless installation process is designed to be efficient, causing minimal disruption to your daily life while guaranteeing a flawless finish.Site Survey and Assessment: We begin with a thorough inspection of your existing roof structure, sometimes utilising advanced drone roof surveys to safely assess hard-to-reach areas. We check for rotting timber, pooling water, and compromised decking.Safe Removal and Disposal: Our team carefully strips away the old failing felt or membrane, ensuring the underlying joists are sound and dry. All waste is responsibly removed from your property.Structural Upgrades and Decking: If required, we replace damaged timber and install high-quality OSB3 decking boards. This is also the ideal time to upgrade your roof's thermal efficiency by installing warm deck insulation, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.Membrane Application: We apply a high-strength, water-based adhesive to secure the EPDM rubber membrane firmly to the decking. We pay close attention to all edge trims, upstands, and leadwork to ensure a 100% watertight seal.

Installing felt on a flat roof

Frequently Asked Questions About Rubber Roofing

Is EPDM better than traditional roofing felt?Yes. While traditional felt is often cheaper initially, it has a much shorter lifespan and is prone to cracking and blistering over time. EPDM is UV-resistant, flexible, and installed in a single seamless sheet, making it far superior at preventing water ingress.Can I walk on an EPDM flat roof?EPDM is highly durable and can easily withstand occasional light foot traffic, such as when you need to clean your windows or clear autumn leaves from your gutters. However, if you intend to use the flat roof as a regular balcony or terrace, we would need to install dedicated walkways or decking over the membrane to protect it.How long does a rubber flat roof installation take?For a standard domestic garage or single-storey extension in Swanley, we can typically strip the old roof, replace the decking if necessary, and install the new EPDM system within one to two days, weather permitting.

After deciding what level of work I wanted done, they returned soon after to carry out the roof repairs to a high standard without me even needing to be there."

"Highly recommended! Great price! First class job. Nothing was too much for these lads, very polite, got the job done and more. When they had finished they cleaned up that well, even took some of my own rubbish away for me. Well done lads! Not often you get a good, honest local roofer anymore! Thanks again."

EPDM Roofing FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about EPDM rubber roofing? With 25 years of industry experience installing and repairing durable flat roofs, the expert team at Kevington Roofing and Building LTD has compiled answers to our most common homeowner enquiries across Swanley, Sevenoaks, and Croydon & South London.

Is EPDM rubber roofing more expensive than traditional felt?

+

The initial cost can be slightly higher than felt, but it works out much cheaper over time. Because a rubber roof lasts three to four times longer and requires almost zero maintenance, you save a significant amount of money in the long run. Most Swanley homeowners find the one-time investment is well worth the decades of protection it offers.

Can I walk on an EPDM roof to clean windows or maintain my house?

+

Yes, EPDM is very durable and can handle occasional foot traffic for maintenance purposes. If you plan to use the area as a balcony or roof terrace, we can install a thicker membrane or specific walking pads to protect the surface.

How long does it take to install a new rubber roof on a standard extension in Kent?

+

Most domestic projects, such as a garage or a medium-sized extension, can be completed in just one or two days. Because there is no "hot work" involved (no flames or melting bitumen), the process is faster and safer than older methods. We always check the weather forecast to make sure your home stays dry throughout the swap.
