EPDM Rubber Roofing in Uppingham
Uppingham is a historic market town built largely of local ironstone and limestone, home to Uppingham School. Its conservation area means roof repairs need matching slate and traditional detailing.
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 Uppingham, call 07467 757 367.
EPDM Rubber Roofs for Homes and Businesses in Uppingham
Larger flat roofs in and around Uppingham, such as those on commercial premises, workshops and bigger buildings, are where EPDM rubber comes into its own. It is the system we mainly fit on commercial and larger flat roofs. The synthetic membrane has been used across the industry for over 40 years and resists ozone, weathering, extreme temperatures and wind.
Installation is quick, which is a real advantage where a building needs to stay in use. Before fitting, we check the deck, the drainage and the edge details, so the new membrane has a sound base to work from. Where a large flat roof is visible within the conservation area, we can talk through how the finished roof will look. We install EPDM for property owners in Uppingham and the wider area, including Peterborough and Stamford.
Uppingham is looked after by our second office, which covers Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Rutland and the surrounding area. 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 Rutland County Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.
