EPDM Rubber Roofing in Cambourne
Cambourne is a new town built from the late 1990s onwards, so most homes are modern with concrete tile roofs, uPVC fascias and soffits and dry-fix ridge and verge systems. Typical jobs include storm damage, dry verge repairs and blocked guttering.
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.
EPDM stands up to ozone, weathering, abrasion, wind and extremes of heat and cold, and installation is quick, so buildings can stay in use with little disruption. It is also made using recycled material, which is better for the environment.
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 Cambourne, call 07467 757 367.

Local EPDM Rubber Roofs Specialists in Cambourne
Few individual homes in Cambourne need EPDM. Where it comes into its own is on larger flat roofs, such as commercial premises, community buildings or bigger residential blocks, and that is where we mainly install it.
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane with a track record in the industry of over 40 years. It resists ozone, weathering, extreme temperatures and wind, and the quick installation means less time with the building disrupted. Fewer seams across a large roof also mean fewer places for water to find a way in. If you manage a commercial building or a larger residential block in Cambourne, or nearby in Cambridge, we can inspect the roof and advise whether EPDM is suitable.
Alongside our Staines head office, we have a second office covering this part of the country, including Cambourne. 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 South Cambridgeshire District Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.
