Why Choose EPDM for Your Flat Roof?

Traditional felt roofs have a notoriously limited lifespan, often falling victim to UV damage, pooling water, and winter frost. Upgrading to EPDM rubber roofing transforms the longevity and security of your property, protecting your interior from costly water ingress.Exceptional Longevity: A professionally installed synthetic rubber membrane boasts an impressive lifespan of up to 50 years, making it an incredibly cost-effective long-term investment for your home.Seamless Waterproofing: Because EPDM is often cut and fitted in a single, continuous piece for residential roofs, there are no vulnerable seams or joints where leaks typically begin.Flame-Free Installation: Our cold-applied roofing methods completely eliminate the need for dangerous blowtorches on your property, ensuring a safer working environment and lowering fire risks.Weather and UV Resistant: Whether facing the blistering summer sun or freezing winter storms, durable roofing materials like Firestone EPDM expand and contract naturally without tearing, blistering, or degrading.From simple flat roof repairs to complete structural replacements, our bespoke EPDM systems offer unmatched, maintenance-free protection.

How Our Flat Roof Installers Work

We believe in delivering a hassle-free, transparent service from the moment you contact us. As experienced flat roof installers in Chigwell, our process is built around clear communication, expert craftsmanship, and ensuring you know exactly what you are paying for.First, we conduct a thorough assessment of your existing roof structure. We often utilise modern drone roof surveys to safely inspect hard-to-reach areas, checking for underlying structural issues, trapped moisture, or water damage to the timber decking. Following this detailed inspection, we provide a completely transparent, no-obligation quote with all costs clearly itemised.When it comes to the installation itself, our directly employed team takes over. We absolutely never pass your project onto unknown subcontractors. We carefully strip away the old, failing roof covering, inspect and repair the joists and decking if necessary, and securely bond the new rubber roof membrane into place. We also ensure correct falls for drainage and finish the perimeter with custom edge trims for a sleek, watertight seal.

Common Questions About Rubber Roof Membranes

Is EPDM better than traditional felt?Yes, without a doubt. While traditional felt may appear slightly cheaper initially, it is highly prone to cracking, blistering, and moss growth over time. EPDM is a highly flexible, synthetic rubber that easily outlasts felt, often protecting your home for up to half a century with virtually no maintenance.Can you install a rubber roof over my existing roof?In a few specific cases, if the underlying timber decking is completely sound, dry, and structurally intact, we can lay a new rubber roof membrane over an existing surface. However, we always conduct a thorough structural survey first. We will never cut corners by trapping moisture or ignoring rotten timbers just to save time.Do you provide guarantees on your roofing work?Absolutely. Because we use premium materials like Firestone EPDM and rely on our 25 years of hands-on technical experience, all our new flat roof installations come with a robust warranty. We want you to have complete confidence in the durability of your new roof.

"Reliable and prompt - the Kevington team was able to view the property and provide options and transparent, itemised quotes on the same day I called. 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.
