Is EPDM better than traditional roofing felt?Yes. Traditional felt relies on a hot-torch application and multiple layered sheets with seams that eventually degrade and split. EPDM is laid cold, usually in a single seamless sheet, making it much safer to install and vastly more reliable against long-term water ingress.How does EPDM compare to GRP Fibreglass?Both are excellent, modern flat roofing solutions. EPDM is highly flexible, making it ideal for roofs that experience slight structural movement. GRP fibreglass is highly rigid and can withstand heavier foot traffic if you plan to use the space as a balcony. We can advise on the very best option for your specific roof during our initial assessment.Can an EPDM roof be repaired if damaged?While incredibly tough and highly resistant to tearing, if an EPDM roof does suffer puncture damage from a falling branch or extreme storm debris, it is exceptionally easy to fix. We can apply a specialist rubber patch that seamlessly bonds to the existing membrane, restoring its weatherproof qualities immediately.
