What EPDM Rubber Roofing Is

EPDM stands for ethylene propylene diene monomer, which is a synthetic rubber. It comes in large sheets that cover the whole roof without seams across the middle, so there are very few joints for water to find. It has been used on flat roofs for decades and has a strong track record in all weathers.

Why EPDM Suits Flat Roofs in Ramsgate

Flat roofs in Ramsgate face wet winters and warm summers. EPDM handles both without becoming brittle or soft. It stays flexible in the cold and does not crack in the heat. The rubber stretches slightly with the movement of the building, which helps it stay sealed at the edges.

How EPDM Rubber Roofing Is Fitted

We prepare the decking, making sure it is dry and clean. The EPDM sheet is rolled out and fixed using an adhesive, then trimmed to size. The edges are dressed into the fascia or wall to close off any gaps. We fit aluminium trim around the perimeter to keep the edge tidy and secure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does EPDM rubber roofing last in Ramsgate?

Sometimes, but it is usually better to strip the old roof first. That lets us check the deck, replace any rotten boards and give the EPDM a smooth, dry base. We look at your roof in Ramsgate and tell you which approach suits it.

Is EPDM better than felt?

EPDM has fewer joints and stays flexible for longer, so many people choose it for extensions and dormers. Felt can be a good value option, especially on garages and outbuildings. The right choice depends on the roof, how it is used and your budget.
