Why Choose an EPDM Flat Roof for Your Property?

For decades, property owners struggled with traditional felt roofs that required constant patching and inevitably let water in. Today, EPDM flat roof installations offer a far superior, leak-proof alternative. The primary advantage of EPDM is its seamless application. Because it is usually cut to size and installed in one large, continuous sheet, there are practically no vulnerable joints where water ingress can occur.Exceptional Longevity: High-quality EPDM membranes are engineered to last for decades without tearing or degrading under harsh UV light.Complete Weather Resistance: From blistering summer heat to freezing winter storms, rubber roofing safely expands and contracts without cracking.Low Maintenance: Once installed, a durable flat roof made of EPDM requires virtually no ongoing maintenance, saving you money on future roofing repairs.Eco-Friendly Alternative: Synthetic rubber is highly durable and often manufactured from sustainable or recycled materials, making it a greener choice for your home.Our rubber roofing specialists ensure that every single installation is finished with premium edge trims and secure fixings, giving you complete peace of mind through every season.

Our Step-by-Step EPDM Roof Installation Process

We believe in doing things right the first time. When you book a new flat roof installation with Kevington Roofing and Building LTD, we follow a strict, proven process to guarantee a flawless finish. We never cut corners, and our directly employed team manages every detail from start to finish—we never rely on unknown subcontractors.First, we conduct a thorough structural assessment of your existing roof. If required, we can even perform a drone roof survey to safely inspect difficult-to-reach areas. If your old timber decking is rotten or suffering from water damage, we will safely strip it away and replace it with sturdy, high-quality timber boards. Next, we carefully apply a strong water-based or bonding adhesive before rolling out the EPDM membrane, ensuring it is perfectly flat with no air bubbles.Finally, we secure the perimeter with modern edge trims and integrate the roof seamlessly into your existing UPVC fascias, soffits, and guttering. The result is a smart, durable flat roof that instantly improves your property's kerb appeal. Need to secure a leaking roof fast? Reach out to our team on 01689 663319.

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.
