EPDM Rubber Roofing in Barnes
Barnes sits in a loop of the Thames with large Victorian and Edwardian houses, cottage terraces near the village and the 1920s Castelnau estate. Clay tile and slate roofs, decorative ridge tiles and tall chimney stacks are common, and much of the area is covered by conservation areas.
EPDM, short for ethylene propylene diene monomer, is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane with a track record of more than 40 years on low-slope roofs worldwide. It has one of the longest average service lives of any roofing system.
EPDM stands up to ozone, weathering, abrasion, wind and extremes of heat and cold, and it is quick to install, which keeps disruption to a minimum. 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 Barnes, call 07467 757 367.

Why Barnes Properties Need the Right EPDM Rubber Roofs
Most flat roofs on Barnes homes are fairly small, so EPDM is usually our choice for the larger roofs in the area, such as those on commercial buildings, blocks of flats and substantial extensions on the bigger houses. The rubber membrane has been used in the roofing industry for over 40 years and resists ozone, weathering, extreme temperatures and wind.
EPDM is laid in large sheets, so installation is quick and there are very few joints to maintain. That makes it a practical option where owners want a durable roof with minimal disruption. We look closely at drainage and edge details before fitting it, and we may recommend fibreglass on smaller domestic roofs instead. We fit EPDM in Putney and Fulham as well.
Barnes is roughly 12 miles from our head office in Staines, well within the area our roofers cover every week. Most like-for-like roof work does not need planning permission, but if your property is listed or in a conservation area it is worth checking with the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

EPDM Rubber Roofs in Barnes: Your Questions Answered
Would EPDM suit a large flat roof extension on a Barnes house?
On a bigger extension roof, EPDM is often a good fit. It goes down quickly in big sheets with few joints and copes well with weather and temperature changes. On smaller roofs, fibreglass can be the better option, and we will recommend whichever suits after seeing it.
Is EPDM environmentally friendly?
EPDM is made using recycled material, and because it lasts so long it needs replacing less often than many other roof coverings.
Why choose EPDM for a commercial roof?
EPDM resists ozone, weathering, temperature extremes and wind, it is quick to install and it has one of the longest average service lives of any roofing system.
What is an EPDM roof?
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane used to waterproof flat and low-slope roofs. It has been used in the roofing industry for over 40 years.

It depends on the size of the roof, the condition of the deck and access. We will inspect the roof and give you a free, no-obligation quote.
