EPDM Rubber Roofing in Putney
Putney combines Victorian terraces running up from the river with large Edwardian houses on Putney Hill and plenty of 20th-century flats. We regularly deal with slate roofs that have reached the end of their life, worn lead flashing and flat roofs over rear extensions here.
EPDM, short for ethylene propylene diene monomer, is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane that has been used on low-slope roofs around the world for more than 40 years. Its long average service life is one of the main reasons it is so widely specified.
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. Recycled material is used in its manufacture, which is an environmental bonus.
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 Putney, call 07467 757 367.

Local EPDM Rubber Roofs Specialists in Putney
Putney’s 20th-century blocks of flats and commercial buildings often have large flat roofs, and that is where EPDM tends to be our recommendation. The synthetic rubber membrane has been used across the industry for more than 40 years and stands up well to ozone, weathering, extreme temperatures and wind.
Big sheets mean quick installation and very few joints, so residents and businesses face less disruption while the roof is replaced. We pay particular attention to outlets, upstands and edge trims, since a flat roof is only as good as its details. For smaller domestic roofs, fibreglass may be the better option, and we will explain why if so. We fit EPDM on suitable roofs in Wandsworth and Battersea as well.
Putney is roughly 13 miles from our head office in Staines, well within the area our roofers cover every week. 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 Wandsworth Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

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.
