EPDM Rubber Roofing in Spalding
Spalding is a market town on the River Welland with Georgian houses along the river and large areas of newer housing. Flat Fenland landscape leaves roofs exposed to wind, so ridges, verges and fascias need regular checks.
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 it is quick to install, which keeps disruption to a minimum. 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 Spalding, call 07467 757 367.
Local EPDM Rubber Roofs Specialists in Spalding
Spalding’s larger buildings, from commercial premises to bigger modern structures, often have flat roofs that cover a considerable area, and these are where we mainly install EPDM. Laid in large sheets, a rubber membrane reduces the number of seams that could fail on a big roof.
EPDM has been used in the industry for over 40 years, and its resistance to ozone, weathering, wind and extreme temperatures makes it well suited to an exposed Fenland setting. It is quick to install, so disruption to a business or organisation is kept short. We survey the existing roof, check the deck and drainage, and then recommend the right approach. For smaller domestic flat roofs, GRP or a felt system is usually a better choice, and we will explain why. EPDM is also available in Boston and Long Sutton.
Alongside our Staines head office, we have a second office covering this part of the country, including Spalding. 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 South Holland District Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.
