Quality epdm rubber roofs across Teesside & North Yorkshire

In flat roofing terms, EPDM is a single-ply membrane supplied in large sheets and bonded or mechanically fixed to a prepared deck. Unlike felt, it does not crack or blister. Unlike GRP, it flexes rather than fractures when the structure beneath it moves. It handles temperature extremes, UV exposure and standing water without degrading.

The benefits of EPDM

Exceptional lifespan

A proven life expectancy of 50 years or more, outperforming felt and rivalling GRP at a lower cost per square metre on larger roofs.

Outstanding flexibility

The membrane moves with the structure, highly resistant to cracking from thermal movement or settlement.

UV and weather resistance

EPDM degrades very slowly in UV light and performs consistently across the full range of UK weather.

Seamless on large areas

Available in very large sheet sizes, reducing joints and with them the risk of water ingress.

Environmentally responsible

Recyclable at end of life and free from harmful plasticisers, making it one of the more considered flat roofing choices.

Low maintenance

Periodic inspection of edge details and penetrations is typically all that is needed.

Where EPDM excels

EPDM’s flexibility and competitive cost per square metre make it well suited to larger flat roof areas, flat roof extensions, garage roofs, roofs with seasonal movement, and outbuildings where future access may be limited. For complex-shaped roofs or those requiring regular foot traffic, our GRP fibreglass service may be the better fit.

How It Works

How your epdm rubber roofs project runs

A clear, proven process from first survey to final inspection, so you always know what happens next.

  1. 01

    Deck preparation

    The existing covering is removed, the deck inspected and any deteriorated sections replaced for a clean, stable substrate.

  2. 02

    Insulation

    Where required, rigid insulation boards are laid before the membrane to improve thermal performance and meet building regulations.

  3. 03

    Membrane installation

    The EPDM sheet is cut to size and either fully bonded with adhesive or mechanically fixed, depending on the application.

  4. 04

    Edge and perimeter detailing

    Aluminium or rubber trims are fixed around the perimeter to create a watertight seal at all exposed edges and upstands.

  5. 05

    Penetration detailing

    Pipes, vents and wall abutments are carefully detailed using EPDM flashing tape and compatible sealants.

FAQs

Roofing Questions, Answered

What does EPDM stand for?

Ethylene propylene diene monomer, a synthetic rubber used in construction for over 60 years. In flat roofing it refers to a single-ply membrane bonded or fixed to a prepared deck to create a durable, long-lasting weatherproof covering.

How long does an EPDM rubber roof last?

A professionally installed EPDM roof has a proven life expectancy of 50 years or more when correctly detailed and maintained, making it one of the most cost-effective flat roofing systems over the life of the building.

Can an EPDM roof be repaired rather than replaced?

In most cases, yes. Splits, punctures, de-bonded areas and failed edge details can all be addressed using compatible repair materials. Where a roof has suffered widespread failure or is significantly aged, replacement is the better investment.

How does EPDM compare to GRP fibreglass?

EPDM’s flexibility suits larger areas and structures that move, while GRP excels on complex shapes and high foot-traffic applications. EPDM typically costs less per square metre on straightforward roofs.

Is EPDM suitable for all flat roof applications?

EPDM excels on larger, simpler roof areas and structures prone to seasonal movement. For complex-shaped roofs or where foot traffic is required, GRP fibreglass may be more appropriate. We assess your roof and give you a clear recommendation.

How much does an EPDM rubber roof cost?

EPDM offers a competitive cost per square metre compared to GRP, particularly on larger areas, while delivering a comparable or superior lifespan. Costs vary depending on roof size, complexity and whether deck or insulation work is required. We provide free site visits and quotes.
