Whether you’re considering a brand-new EPDM roof, need expert repairs, or want to maximise your roof’s lifespan with preventative maintenance, we’re here to deliver outstanding results that meet your needs.

EPDM is a high-performance synthetic rubber membrane specifically designed for roofing applications. Manufactured from a combination of ethylene and propylene, it offers unique properties that make it an excellent choice for flat and low-slope roofs. EPDM is available in large rolls, which allows for seamless installation over vast areas, reducing the risk of leaks and water penetration. Its black or white finishes also contribute to energy efficiency, helping to regulate indoor temperatures.

This roofing material has been trusted for decades due to its proven effectiveness in withstanding extreme weather, UV rays, and general wear and tear. Paired with professional installation, EPDM rubber roofing is a viable and dependable option for properties of all shapes and sizes.

When it comes to roofing, EPDM stands out for its impressive combination of performance, versatility, and value. Here are the key advantages of EPDM rubber roofs that make them a popular choice for property owners:

Durability and Longevity

EPDM rubber roofs are built to last. With a typical lifespan of 20 to 30 years or more, these membranes offer incredible durability against harsh weather conditions. They are resistant to UV rays, temperature fluctuations, heavy rain, and strong winds, ensuring your roof continues to perform brilliantly year after year.

Flexible and Lightweight

Unlike some heavier roofing materials, EPDM is lightweight and highly flexible. It conforms easily to the contours of your roof, accommodating different shapes and structures. It also remains flexible in extremely low temperatures, reducing the risk of cracks and damage under stress.

Cost-Effective Solution

With its long lifespan and minimal maintenance requirements, EPDM offers a great return on investment. While the initial cost may vary depending on the size and complexity of your roof, you’re unlikely to face significant additional expenses over time, making it an economical choice.

Weatherproof and Leak-Resistant

EPDM’s seamless application eliminates the vulnerabilities associated with joints and seams, providing excellent protection against leaks and water infiltration. Its non-porous surface also resists moss and algae growth, keeping your roof clean and efficient.

Environmentally Friendly

EPDM is a sustainable roofing material. It’s 100% recyclable at the end of its life cycle and contributes to energy efficiency through its reflective properties. These qualities make it an eco-conscious choice for environmentally aware property owners.

Versatility

Suitable for a wide range of applications, EPDM roofing works exceptionally well on flat and low-slope roofs. Its versatility extends to both commercial and domestic projects, whether you’re constructing a garden office, renovating a workshop, or upgrading your home’s roof.
