EPDM Rubber Roofing in Stamford
Stamford is a stone-built town known for its Georgian streets and its traditional Collyweston stone slate roofs, and it became England’s first conservation area in 1967. Roof work here needs to respect the historic materials and local planning rules.
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.
The membrane resists ozone, weathering, abrasion, extreme temperatures and wind damage, and it is quick to install, which keeps disruption to a minimum. It is also made using recycled material, which is better for the environment.
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 Stamford, call 07467 757 367.

Why Stamford Properties Need the Right EPDM Rubber Roofs
Few joints means fewer places for water to get in, which is why EPDM is our usual choice for commercial premises and larger flat roofs in Stamford, from business buildings to bigger modern structures around the town. A rubber membrane laid in large sheets can cover a wide area with very few seams.
EPDM is a synthetic rubber that has been used in the roofing industry for over 40 years. It resists ozone, weathering, wind and extreme temperatures, and installation is quick, which means less disruption for a working building. On historic buildings, a flat roof hidden behind a parapet may suit EPDM, though in a conservation area it is sensible to check with South Kesteven District Council before changing a roof covering. For small domestic roofs, we tend to recommend GRP or felt. We also fit EPDM in Peterborough and Whittlesey.
Alongside our Staines head office, we have a second office covering this part of the country, including Stamford. 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 Kesteven District Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.
