Our Step-by-Step EPDM Flat Roof Installation Process

A successful rubber roof installation starts with thorough preparation. Our directly employed roofers begin with a full structural assessment of your existing timber deck, ensuring the joists are sound and free from rot or water ingress. We then install fresh, high-quality decking boards to create a perfectly smooth substrate. Next, we carefully apply a commercial-grade bonding adhesive, laying the EPDM membrane in a single, seamless piece wherever possible. This eliminates the vulnerable joints and seams where traditional felt roofs often fail. Finally, we fit durable UPVC edge trims and secure the flashings to guarantee a neat, professional finish that enhances your home's kerb appeal.

Why Choose Our EPDM Rubber Roofing Services in Swanley & Sevenoaks?

Why Choose EPDM Rubber for Your Flat Roof?

Traditional roofing felt is prone to blistering, cracking, and eventual failure due to UV exposure and fluctuating temperatures. In contrast, domestic rubber roofs are completely UV resistant and remain highly flexible year-round, meaning they will not snap or tear during winter frosts. Because EPDM is applied as a seamless waterproof membrane, the risk of leaks is virtually eliminated. Furthermore, it is an eco-friendly roofing system, manufactured from recycled materials and requiring zero maintenance once installed.Whether you need a reliable covering for a new extension or a complete garage roof replacement, EPDM delivers unbeatable value.

How Long Does EPDM Rubber Roofing Last?

EPDM rubber roofing is exceptionally durable and routinely lasts in excess of 50 years when installed by qualified professionals. Unlike traditional felt that breaks down over a decade, rubber membranes resist blistering and weathering. Is EPDM better than GRP fibreglass? Both are superb choices for durable roofing systems. EPDM is highly flexible and cost-effective, making it brilliant for standard extensions, whereas GRP offers a highly impact-resistant surface if your roof experiences foot traffic. How much does a new flat roof installation cost? Prices vary based on the size of the roof and whether the underlying timber deck needs replacing. We provide totally transparent, itemised quotes so you know exactly what you are paying for with no hidden fees.Secure your property against the unpredictable British weather today.

What Our Clients Say About Kevington Roofing and Building LTD

Celia Bennett

"Reliable and prompt - the Kevington team was able to view the property and provide options and transparent, itemised quotes on the same day I called. After deciding what level of work I wanted done, they returned soon after to carry out the roof repairs to a high standard without me even needing to be there."

Philip Day

"Highly recommended! Great price! First class job. Nothing was too much for these lads, very polite, got the job done and more. When they had finished they cleaned up that well, even took some of my own rubbish away for me. Well done lads! Not often you get a good, honest local roofer anymore! Thanks again."

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.
