EPDM Rubber Roofing in Long Sutton
Long Sutton is a Fenland market town with period buildings in the centre and newer homes and bungalows around it. Exposed roofs here often need ridge, verge and fascia repairs after strong winds.
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. 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 Long Sutton, call 07467 757 367.
EPDM Roofing Services in Long Sutton
Commercial Flat Roofs

Roof Replacement

EPDM Rubber Roofs in Long Sutton: What We See Locally
Long Sutton has its share of commercial premises and larger flat roofs, and these are where we mainly fit EPDM rubber roofing. On a big open roof, the speed of installation matters, because it keeps disruption to a business short and limits the time the building is exposed.
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane that has been used across the industry for over 40 years. It resists ozone, weathering and extreme temperatures, and it stands up well to wind, which counts for a lot on flat Fenland ground where there is little to break a gust. We can assess an existing flat roof, tell you honestly whether EPDM is the right choice, and quote for the work. Owners of commercial buildings in Spalding and Holbeach can call on us for the same service.
Our second office serves Lincolnshire and the neighbouring counties, so Long Sutton is part of our regular working 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 South Holland District Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.
