EPDM Rubber Roofing in Osterley
Osterley is a residential area near Osterley Park, mostly 1920s and 1930s semi-detached houses with hipped tile roofs. Ridge tiles, lead flashing around chimneys and fascias and soffits are the usual weak spots after decades of weather.
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.
The membrane resists ozone, weathering, abrasion, extreme temperatures and wind damage, and installation is quick, so buildings can stay in use with little disruption. It is also made using recycled material, which is better for the environment.
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 Osterley, call 07467 757 367.

Local EPDM Rubber Roofs Specialists in Osterley
Osterley is a residential area of 1920s and 1930s semis, so EPDM is not something most households will need. We mainly fit EPDM rubber membranes on commercial and larger flat roofs, and here that tends to mean the occasional large garage, a wide rear extension, or commercial premises nearby in Brentford or Hounslow.
When the roof is big enough, EPDM is an excellent choice. The synthetic rubber has been used in roofing for over 40 years and resists ozone, weathering, extreme temperatures and wind. It is also quick to install, so disruption is kept short. For the smaller flat roofs found on most homes here, such as porches and single garages, we would normally recommend GRP instead, and we will explain the reasons clearly before you commit to anything.
Our Staines head office is about 8 miles from Osterley, and we regularly work on homes and businesses across the 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 the London Borough of Hounslow before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

Common Questions About EPDM Rubber Roofs in Osterley
Is EPDM worth it for a small porch roof in Osterley?
Usually not. We mainly fit EPDM on commercial and larger flat roofs, where its quick installation and resistance to weather, ozone and temperature extremes pay off. For a small porch or single garage, GRP fibreglass normally gives a neater seamless finish and is our usual recommendation.
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.

EPDM is made using recycled material, and because it lasts so long it needs replacing less often than many other roof coverings.
