EPDM Rubber Roofing in St Margarets
St Margarets is a leafy area of Victorian and Edwardian houses between Twickenham and the river, with slate and clay tile roofs, bay windows and tall chimneys. Many homes have been extended at the back and into the loft, adding dormers and flat roofs to look after.
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. 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 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 St Margarets, call 07467 757 367.
EPDM Roofing Services in St Margarets

Flashings and Edges
Upstands, edges and outlets are detailed carefully so the roof stays watertight where it meets walls and drains.

Honest Advice
If GRP or felt would suit your roof better, we will tell you and explain why.

EPDM Rubber Roofs for Homes and Businesses in St Margarets
Most homes in St Margarets have small flat roofs better suited to GRP, but EPDM comes into its own on larger ones. We mainly fit it on commercial buildings and larger flat roofs, such as wide rear extensions, blocks of flats or business premises. The synthetic rubber membrane has been used in the industry for over 40 years and resists ozone, weathering, wind and extreme temperatures.
It goes down quickly, which keeps disruption short, and large sheets mean very few seams. Before recommending it, we look at the size and use of the roof, the condition of the deck and how water drains away. We will always tell you if another system would suit the job better. EPDM installation is also available in Richmond and Woodlands.
Our Staines head office is about 8 miles from St Margarets, 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 Richmond upon Thames before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

EPDM Rubber Roofs FAQs for St Margarets
Would EPDM or GRP suit my St Margarets flat roof better?
For small dormers and extensions, GRP is often the better fit. EPDM is mainly used on larger flat roofs and commercial buildings, where it can go down in big sheets with few seams. We look at the size, shape and use of your roof and recommend whichever will perform best.
Is EPDM environmentally friendly?
EPDM is made using recycled material, and because it lasts so long it needs replacing less often than many other roof coverings.
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.
Why choose EPDM for a commercial roof?
EPDM resists ozone, weathering, temperature extremes and wind, it is quick to install and it has one of the longest average service lives of any roofing system.
How long does it take to install an EPDM roof?
EPDM is quick to install compared with many flat roofing systems. We will give you a timescale with your quote once we have seen the roof.
How much does an EPDM roof cost?
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.
