EPDM Rubber Roofing in Heston
Heston is mainly interwar semi-detached and terraced housing, much of it extended with loft conversions and single-storey rear additions. That means plenty of dormer and flat roofs, alongside tile roof and guttering repairs.
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.
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. 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 Heston, call 07467 757 367.
EPDM Rubber Roofs for Homes and Businesses in Heston
Heston is largely residential, so the EPDM rubber roofs we fit here are usually on the larger flat roofs: a long rear extension spanning the width of a house, a garage block, or commercial premises. We mainly install EPDM on commercial and bigger roofs, where its ability to cover large areas with few joints really pays off.
The membrane is a synthetic rubber that has been used across the roofing industry for more than 40 years. It stands up to ozone, weathering, extreme temperatures and wind, and it is quick to install, which matters when you are running a business from the building or living under the roof being replaced. For smaller dormer roofs, we would normally suggest GRP instead. Larger flat roofs in Isleworth and Hounslow are also covered.
Our Staines head office is about 7 miles from Heston, 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 London Borough of Hounslow before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

EPDM Rubber Roofs FAQs for Heston
Should I choose EPDM or GRP for my Heston rear extension?
For a small or medium extension, GRP usually gives the neatest seamless finish. EPDM comes into its own on larger flat roofs and commercial buildings, where it can be laid quickly in big sheets with few joints. We will look at your roof and recommend the one that suits 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.
How much does an EPDM roof cost?
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.
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.
Do you fit EPDM on homes?
We mainly install EPDM on commercial and larger flat roofs. For most domestic flat roofs we usually recommend GRP fibreglass or a felt system, and we will advise what suits your roof best.
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.
