How Our Flat Roof Installation Process Works

We believe in doing the job right the first time. Our seamless roof installation process in West Sussex begins with a comprehensive structural assessment to ensure your underlying timber decking is sound. If required, we can even provide a professional drone roof survey to safely inspect hard-to-reach areas before work begins.1. Strip and InspectWe carefully remove your old, failing flat roof materials, responsibly disposing of all waste. We then inspect the roof joists for any hidden signs of water ingress or structural rot.2. Decking and Insulation UpgradeTo improve your home's thermal efficiency, we install fresh, high-quality timber decking. If required by current building regulations, we will also upgrade your warm roof insulation, helping you save money on winter heating bills.3. Precision Membrane InstallationWe apply a continuous sheet of high-grade EPDM, such as Firestone RubberCover or ClassicBond. Because it is a single-ply waterproof membrane, it is typically installed in one piece, eliminating the vulnerable seams where traditional felt roofs often fail.

Common Questions About EPDM Rubber Roofs

Is EPDM better than traditional felt roofing?Yes. While felt typically lasts 10 to 15 years and is highly prone to blistering and tearing in the sun, EPDM is UV-resistant, flexible, and can last over 50 years. It is a far more reliable and cost-effective waterproof membrane in the long term.Can I walk on an EPDM flat roof?EPDM is designed to easily withstand occasional foot traffic for standard maintenance purposes, such as cleaning gutters or window washing. If you require a flat roof for a balcony or regular heavy footfall, let us know so we can discuss installing the appropriate protective decking or paving over the membrane.How much does a new flat roof installation cost in West Sussex?Costs vary depending on the total size of the roof, scaffolding access requirements, and whether the underlying timber decking and insulation need replacing. We always provide a clear, itemised quote after a free site survey to ensure you get the most accurate price for your specific project.

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.
