EPDM Rubber Roofing in Chelsea
Chelsea’s Georgian and Victorian terraces, mansion blocks and mews houses have some of the most detailed roofs in London, with mansards, lead flats, parapets and ornate chimney stacks. Most of the area falls within conservation areas, so repairs are carried out with matching slate and traditional leadwork.
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.
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 Chelsea, call 07467 757 367.
Local EPDM Rubber Roofs Specialists in Chelsea
Behind the parapets of some Chelsea mansion blocks and commercial buildings sit large flat roofs, and on roofs of that size EPDM is worth considering. We mainly fit it on commercial and larger flat roofs, where its quick installation and wide sheets work in its favour.
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane used across the roofing industry for over 40 years. It resists ozone, weathering, wind and temperature extremes. Because it goes down quickly, disruption to residents or businesses below is kept to a minimum. We assess the deck, outlets and upstands first, as parapet roofs depend on good drainage. Where a building is listed or in a conservation area, traditional materials may be expected, so it is worth checking with the council before switching. Building managers in Knightsbridge and Pimlico can ask us the same questions.
Our Staines head office is about 15 miles from Chelsea, and we regularly work on homes and businesses across the 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 the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.
