Our EPDM Flat Roof Installation Process

A successful flat roof installation relies entirely on careful preparation and expert craftsmanship. At Kevington Roofing and Building LTD, we follow a strict, step-by-step process to ensure your new rubber roof performs flawlessly for decades.First, we conduct a comprehensive roof inspection. We can even utilise advanced drone roof surveys to safely assess hard-to-reach areas and check for hidden water ingress. Next, we strip back the old, failing felt to evaluate the underlying timber decking. If the timber is compromised by rot or damp, we replace it to guarantee a structurally sound foundation.Once the decking is prepared and swept clean, we apply a high-performance adhesive and roll out the seamless Firestone EPDM membrane. Because the material is custom-cut to your roof's exact dimensions, there are rarely any vulnerable joints or seams. Finally, we install secure edge trims and check your roofline to ensure perfect water drainage.Related reading: Drone Roof Surveys | Fascias, Soffits & Guttering

Common Questions About EPDM Rubber Roofing

How long does an EPDM rubber roof last?When installed correctly by experienced professionals, a high-quality EPDM rubber roof has a life expectancy of up to 50 years. It is incredibly durable and resistant to UV rays, extreme cold, and heavy rain.Can you install EPDM over my existing felt roof?While it is physically possible in some rare cases, we strongly advise against it. Laying new rubber over old felt traps moisture and hides rotting timber decking. For a long-lasting and compliant finish, we always strip the old roof back to the decking to ensure the underlying structure is entirely safe and sound.Is EPDM better than GRP fibreglass?Both are fantastic, modern flat roofing solutions. EPDM is incredibly flexible, making it ideal for large, simple flat areas like garages and extensions, as it is usually laid in one seamless piece. GRP fibreglass is exceptionally tough and great for roofs with complex shapes or heavy foot traffic. We will gladly assess your Northfleet property and recommend the best material for your specific needs.Book your drone survey or request a free quote today by calling 01689 663319.Related reading: GRP Fibreglass Roofing | EPDM Rubber Roofing

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.
