EPDM Rubber Roofing in Cambridge
The CB1 side of Cambridge covers the Victorian terraces off Mill Road and around the station, along with newer apartment buildings and family homes towards Cherry Hinton. Slate roofs, rear additions, dormers and chimney stacks are common repair jobs 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. It has one of the longest average service lives of any roofing system.
The membrane resists ozone, weathering, abrasion, extreme temperatures and wind damage, and it is quick to install, which keeps disruption to a minimum. It is also made using recycled material, which is better for the environment.
Most of the EPDM roofs we fit are on commercial premises and larger flat roofs, and we will always recommend the right system for your roof. For a free quote in Cambridge, call 07467 757 367.
Why Cambridge Properties Need the Right EPDM Rubber Roofs
Newer apartment buildings in the CB1 area of Cambridge may have large flat roofs, and these are a natural fit for EPDM rubber. We mainly install EPDM on commercial and larger flat roofs, where a single membrane can cover the area with very few seams.
EPDM has been used in the industry for over 40 years. It resists ozone, weathering, extreme temperatures and wind, and it is quick to install, which helps when residents or tenants are living below. Commercial premises in the city can benefit in the same way. For smaller domestic roofs on terraces, GRP is often better, and we will explain why when we visit. We cover EPDM work in Milton and Waterbeach too.
Our second office serves Cambridgeshire and the neighbouring counties, so Cambridge is part of our regular working area. 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 Cambridge City Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

Honest Advice
If GRP or felt would suit your roof better, we will tell you and explain why.
Flashings and Edges
Upstands, edges and outlets are detailed carefully so the roof stays watertight where it meets walls and drains.
Roof Replacement
We strip failed coverings, check and repair the deck and install a new EPDM membrane.
Large Single Sheets
EPDM can be laid in large sheets, which means fewer joins on bigger roofs.
Repairs and Maintenance
We repair damaged EPDM and check outlets and flashings so small problems do not become leaks.
Commercial Flat Roofs
EPDM is well suited to the large flat roofs found on shops, offices, warehouses and industrial units.
