EPDM Membranes

Rubber Roofs in One Sheet

A rubber roof is made from EPDM, a synthetic rubber membrane supplied in large sheets. On most domestic flat roofs a single sheet can cover the whole area, which means far fewer joints than other coverings, and joints are where flat roofs usually start to leak.

EPDM stays flexible as temperatures swing between summer heat and winter frost, so it is less likely to crack as the roof expands and contracts. It is bonded to a prepared deck, then finished at the edges with trims and upstands that keep water out.

We fit rubber roofs on extensions, garages and dormers in Aylesbury, Haddenham and the villages nearby. If you would rather have a rigid surface you can step onto now and then, our fibreglass roof service may suit your home better.

Why Choose Us for Rubber Roofs

Why Choose Us for EPDM

A rubber roof depends on careful preparation and neat detailing at the edges and corners, and that is where we spend our time on every membrane we fit.

Fewer Joints, Fewer Leaks

With the roof covered in one sheet wherever possible, there are very few seams for water to work into, so the room below stays dry.

Built for All Weather

EPDM flexes in summer heat and winter cold, so the membrane moves with the roof instead of cracking as temperatures change.

Price Fixed in Writing

The amount on your accepted quote is the amount you pay. If the deck hides rot, we show you and agree it before we go on.

Rubber Roofs: How It Works

Fitting a Rubber Roof

Every roof has its own quirks, but fitting an EPDM roof generally runs through four broad stages.

1

Survey & Quotation

We measure the roof, check the deck and the edges, and send you a fixed price in writing for the new rubber roof.

2

Deck Preparation

The old covering comes off and the boards are checked, with any weak sections replaced so the membrane has a firm base.

3

Bonding the Membrane

The EPDM sheet is laid out, bonded to the deck and dressed into the corners, then the trims and upstands are fixed.

4

Your Final Inspection

When the edges are finished and the area below is swept, we review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.

Rubber Roofs FAQs

Rubber Roof FAQs

What Is EPDM?

EPDM stands for ethylene propylene diene monomer, a synthetic rubber made for roofing and other outdoor uses. As a roof membrane it comes in large sheets, resists sunlight and stays flexible through temperature changes. On a typical domestic flat roof it can usually be laid as one piece.

How Is a Rubber Roof Different From Felt?

Felt is built up from several bonded layers, whereas rubber is a single membrane, usually in one piece across the roof. That means fewer seams to fail and a covering that copes well with movement as the weather changes. Felt can cost less, while rubber gives a cleaner finish. We price whichever suits your roof.

Can a Rubber Roof Be Fitted Over My Existing Roof?

Sometimes, but we usually recommend stripping the old covering first. That lets us check the deck for rot or soft spots and correct the falls, so the new membrane sits on a sound, even base. Laying rubber over a failing roof can hide problems that later cause leaks.

Can I Walk on a Rubber Roof?

An EPDM roof can take occasional foot traffic, for example to clear a gutter or clean a rooflight, but it is not designed as a walkway or terrace. If you need regular access, we can discuss walkway protection or a more rigid surface when we come to quote.

What Happens If a Rubber Roof Is Damaged?

If something sharp punctures the membrane, such as a fallen branch, the damaged area can usually be cleaned and patched with a bonded EPDM repair. We check the surrounding sheet and the deck underneath to make sure no water has got in before the patch goes on.
