Our Flat Roof Installation Process

How We Install Your New Rubber Membrane RoofingReplacing a flat roof requires careful preparation and technical expertise to ensure it remains completely watertight for decades. We follow a meticulous, step-by-step process for every flat roof installation in Edenbridge to guarantee exceptional results. It all starts with a thorough inspection of your existing roof structure, often utilising our advanced drone roof surveys to safely assess the condition of the deck and joists.Next, our directly employed team will carefully strip away the old materials, ensuring the safe disposal of any degraded felt or timber. We then inspect the underlying structure for signs of rot or dampness, replacing any damaged decking to create a solid, secure foundation. If required, we will install upgraded insulation and modern breathable membranes to dramatically improve your property's thermal efficiency.Finally, we apply the high-quality Firestone EPDM Kent homeowners trust. Because EPDM is typically supplied in large, custom-cut sheets, it can often be installed completely seamlessly. We carefully bond the rubber to the deck, finish the edges with weather-resistant UPVC trims, and ensure all leadwork and upstands are completely sealed.

The Benefits of EPDM Rubber Roofing

Why Choose an EPDM Flat Roof for Your Home?Traditional roofing felt has a limited lifespan and is highly prone to blistering, cracking, and leaking as it ages. Upgrading to a modern rubber membrane offers significant advantages for homeowners looking for a reliable, long-term roofing solution. EPDM is an incredibly resilient synthetic rubber that is specifically engineered to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations without splitting or tearing.Unmatched Longevity: A professionally installed EPDM flat roof can easily last for over 50 years, making it an incredibly cost-effective choice over its lifespan.Seamless Waterproofing: Because the material is typically installed in one single piece, there are no vulnerable joints or seams where water ingress can occur.Low Maintenance: Once fitted, rubber roofing requires virtually no ongoing maintenance, saving you time and money on future flat roof repairs.Highly Flexible: The membrane stretches and contracts naturally with seasonal temperature changes, preventing the cracking commonly seen in older felt roofs during harsh winters.Whether you are constructing a new build extension or replacing a leaking garage roof, this premium material delivers peace of mind and excellent kerb appeal.

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.
