EPDM Rubber Roofing in Ashford
Ashford is a few minutes from our Staines office, with interwar semis, bungalows and post-war estates making up most of the town. Concrete tile roofs, flat-roofed extensions, fascias and guttering are the jobs we carry out most often here.
EPDM stands for ethylene propylene diene monomer, a synthetic rubber membrane with a track record of more than 40 years on low-slope roofs worldwide. Its long average service life is one of the main reasons it is so widely specified.
The membrane resists ozone, weathering, abrasion, extreme temperatures and wind damage, and installation is quick, so buildings can stay in use with little disruption. Recycled material is used in its manufacture, which is an environmental bonus.
We mainly install EPDM on commercial buildings and larger flat roofs, and we will always recommend the right system for your roof. For a free quote in Ashford, call 07467 757 367.
EPDM Rubber Roofs in Ashford: What We See Locally
Most flat roofs on Ashford homes are small, covering an extension, porch or garage, and for those we often recommend GRP. EPDM is the system we mainly use on commercial premises and larger flat roofs, so locally it comes into play on shops, business units, blocks of flats or particularly large domestic extensions.
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane used across the industry for over 40 years. It stands up well to ozone, weathering, extreme temperatures and wind, and it can be installed quickly, which helps businesses keep disruption short. A large roof can often be covered with very few joints. We look at the roof size, its use and any existing problems before suggesting EPDM, and we will explain how it compares with GRP or felt. We fit EPDM in Feltham and around Heathrow too.
Ashford is only around 2 miles from our head office at Waterman’s Business Park in Staines, so it is right on our doorstep. Like-for-like roof work does not usually need planning permission, but if your property is listed or in a conservation area it is worth checking with Spelthorne Borough Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.
