EPDM Rubber Roofing in Oakham
Oakham is Rutland’s county town, with stone-built period houses, Oakham Castle and newer housing around the centre. Stone and slate roofs on older properties need careful, like-for-like 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 installation is quick, so buildings can stay in use with little disruption. 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 Oakham, call 07467 757 367.
EPDM Rubber Roofs in Oakham: What We See Locally
For larger flat roofs in Oakham, EPDM rubber is often the system we recommend. We mainly fit it on commercial premises and bigger flat roof areas, such as shops, workshops, business units and larger sections on some homes. The membrane has been used across the roofing industry for over 40 years.
Its appeal lies in how well it resists ozone, weathering, extreme temperatures and wind, along with how quickly it can be installed. That makes it practical for businesses that need work done with little disruption. Before fitting, we check the deck, the drainage and the edges where the roof meets walls, so the membrane has a sound base. Property owners in Oakham, and nearby in Stamford and Peterborough, can ask us to look at a large flat roof and advise whether EPDM is right for it.
Alongside our Staines head office, we have a second office covering this part of the country, including Oakham. 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 Rutland County Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.
