Why Choose EPDM Rubber for Your Flat Roof?

When considering a flat roof replacement, homeowners often weigh up traditional materials against modern alternatives. Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is a highly durable synthetic waterproof membrane that consistently outperforms traditional roofing felt. But what makes it the ideal choice for Surrey flat roofs?Unmatched Longevity: EPDM is exceptionally resilient against UV rays, extreme temperature fluctuations, and heavy rain, easily lasting over half a century with minimal maintenance.Seamless Protection: Because EPDM is often supplied in large, single sheets, there are fewer seams or joints, dramatically reducing the risk of water ingress.Cost-Effective: While the initial rubber roofing cost might be slightly higher than budget felt, its 50-year lifespan makes it a superior long-term financial investment.Environmentally Friendly: EPDM takes less energy to produce than many traditional materials and is fully recyclable at the end of its life.Our experienced Reigate and Banstead roofers can help you decide if this material is the right fit for your property.

How We Install Your Waterproof Membrane

A roof is only as good as its installation. Because Kevington Roofing and Building LTD never uses unknown subcontractors, you can trust that your project will be handled by our own dedicated experts from start to finish.Structural Assessment: We begin with a thorough inspection of your existing roof decking.

We pay special attention to edge trims, upstands, and rooflights to guarantee a completely watertight finish.Final Quality Check: Every installation concludes with a rigorous inspection, ensuring total peace of mind for the homeowner.

Common Questions About Rubber Roofing Costs & Lifespan

How much does EPDM rubber roofing cost?The cost varies depending on the size of your roof, the condition of the existing timber decking, and whether you need upgraded insulation to meet thermal efficiency regulations. However, we always provide clear, itemised, and transparent quotes so you know exactly what you are paying for.Is EPDM better than GRP fibreglass?Both are fantastic, modern flat roofing solutions. EPDM is highly flexible, making it brilliant for accommodating building movement, while GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) provides a tough, rigid finish that is great for balconies or roofs with heavy foot traffic. We can advise on the best option for your specific property during our initial survey.Can I walk on an EPDM rubber roof?You can walk on an EPDM roof occasionally for maintenance purposes, such as cleaning gutters or washing windows. However, if the roof will be used as a regular balcony or terrace, we would recommend discussing additional protective walkways or considering our GRP fibreglass roofing options.

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.
