Frequently Asked Questions About EPDM Roofing

How long does an EPDM rubber roof last? With professional installation and standard conditions, an EPDM rubber roof can easily last upwards of 50 years. Its flexibility prevents the cracking and tearing commonly seen in older roofing materials.Can you walk on a rubber flat roof? Yes, EPDM is durable enough to withstand occasional foot traffic for maintenance purposes, such as cleaning your gutters or washing upstairs windows.Is EPDM better than traditional felt roofing? Absolutely. Unlike felt, which requires heat-welding and multiple layers that can fail at the seams, EPDM is often laid in a single, cold-applied sheet. It is far more resilient to extreme weather and UV rays.Do I need planning permission for a new flat roof in Tilbury? In most cases, replacing a flat roof falls under permitted development and does not require formal planning permission. However, building control approval may be needed if you are upgrading the insulation. We will advise you on all compliance matters during your free site survey.

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.
