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

Our Smooth and Reliable Installation Process

We believe in doing things right the first time. Every flat roof installation in Swanscombe starts with a thorough assessment to understand exactly what your property needs. We use cutting-edge drone roof surveys to safely inspect the existing structure, checking the decking and joists for any hidden water damage.Once the survey is complete, our team will provide a transparent, itemised quote with absolutely no hidden fees. If you choose to proceed, we carefully strip back the old, degraded felt and ensure the underlying timber deck is solid. If required, we upgrade the insulation to meet current UK building regulations, handling the local compliance side so you do not have to.The EPDM rubber membrane is then cold-applied using high-strength commercial adhesives, meaning no dangerous hot works or open flames on your property. Finally, we finish the edges with precision roofline trims to guarantee watertight performance. Request a free survey today by calling 01689 663319.

Frequently Asked Questions About EPDM Roofing

Can EPDM rubber be laid over an existing felt roof?In most cases, we strongly advise against laying EPDM over old felt. Trapped moisture can rot the timber decking underneath. We prefer to strip the roof back, inspect the structure, and install the rubber membrane onto a clean, fresh surface for maximum longevity.How much does a new flat roof installation cost in Swanscombe?Costs vary depending on the size of the roof, the condition of the underlying decking, and whether you need upgraded insulation. We provide free, transparent, and itemised quotes following a thorough site visit so you know exactly what you are paying for.Is an EPDM roof safe to walk on?Yes, EPDM is highly durable and can easily withstand occasional foot traffic for roof maintenance or window cleaning. However, if you plan to use it as a regular balcony or roof terrace, we can recommend additional protective walkways.Related Services: For more information on how we can protect your home, please visit our pages on Flat Roof Replacement, Drone Roof Surveys, and Fascias, Soffits and Guttering.

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."

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.
