Why Choose an EPDM Rubber Roof for Your Home?

When investing in a flat roof replacement, you want a material that guarantees longevity and value for money. EPDM rubber roofing has quickly become the industry standard for flat roofs, far outperforming older felt systems. Our expert installations offer a range of significant benefits designed to give you total peace of mind.Exceptional Lifespan: A professionally installed EPDM roof boasts an impressive lifespan of over 50 years, making it a highly cost-effective, long-term investment.Seamless Waterproofing: Because the rubber membrane is typically fitted in one single piece, there are no joints or seams where water can easily penetrate, dramatically reducing the risk of leaks.UV and Weather Resistance: EPDM does not blister in the summer sun or crack during freezing winter storms. Its flexibility allows it to expand and contract naturally with temperature changes.Thermal Efficiency: Modern rubber roofing works perfectly alongside upgraded insulation systems, helping to keep your home warmer in the winter and reducing your energy bills.Low Maintenance: Once installed, an EPDM roof requires very little upkeep. It resists moss and algae growth much better than traditional materials.

Our Flat Roof Installation Process

At Kevington Roofing and Building LTD, we believe in doing the job right the first time. Our seamless installation process begins long before we lay the new rubber membrane. We start with a comprehensive assessment, often utilising advanced drone roof surveys to safely inspect the current condition of your roof without the need for immediate scaffolding.Once we have agreed on a transparent plan of action, our directly employed fitters will arrive on-site. The first step involves carefully stripping away the old, failing felt and inspecting the underlying timber decking. If we spot any signs of rot or structural water ingress, we will repair or replace the timber to ensure a solid, secure base for your new roof.Next, we apply the EPDM rubber membrane. As experienced local installers, we use premium adhesives to secure the rubber smoothly to the decking, expertly finishing the edges with custom trims to ensure maximum kerb appeal and water diversion. Finally, we conduct a rigorous quality check and clear away all debris, leaving your property spotless and protected.

Common Questions About EPDM Rubber Roofs

How long does an EPDM rubber roof actually last?When installed correctly by skilled professionals, an EPDM rubber roof can easily last over 50 years. It is incredibly durable, highly resistant to UV rays, and will not dry out or crack like traditional felt.Is EPDM better than traditional roofing felt?Yes. Traditional felt relies on multiple layers and heat-sealed seams, which create weak points where water can eventually enter. EPDM is laid as a single, seamless sheet that offers superior weatherproofing and requires virtually no maintenance.Can a rubber flat roof be repaired if damaged?Absolutely. While it is exceptionally tough and highly resistant to punctures, if a branch or severe storm does cause damage, EPDM is very straightforward to patch and repair. We provide prompt emergency roof repairs to secure your property quickly if the unexpected happens.

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.
