EPDM Rubber Roofing in Downham Market
Downham Market is a Norfolk market town with many buildings made from local carrstone, giving it the nickname ‘gingerbread town’, plus newer homes on its edges. Older roofs need careful repairs in matching pantiles and slate.
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 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 Downham Market, call 07467 757 367.
Local EPDM Rubber Roofs Specialists in Downham Market
EPDM rubber is a membrane we mainly use on commercial buildings and larger flat roofs, and Downham Market has its share of both. Shops, workshops and business units around the town, along with bigger flat-roofed sections on some homes, can all benefit from a covering that copes with ozone, weathering, extreme temperatures and wind.
It has been used across the industry for more than 40 years, and one of its strengths is how quickly it goes down. That matters for a business that cannot afford long disruption. On a large roof we look at the deck and the drainage first, then explain whether EPDM is the best fit or whether another system would suit better. We install rubber roofing for property owners in Downham Market and further afield, including King’s Lynn and Ely.
Downham Market is looked after by our second office, which covers Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Rutland and the surrounding area. 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 King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.
