EPDM Rubber Roofing in Waterbeach
Waterbeach is a fen-edge village north of Cambridge where a large new town is being built on the former barracks site, alongside the older village homes. We work on both period roofs and modern concrete tile and flat roofs here.
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. Its long average service life is one of the main reasons it is so widely specified.
The membrane resists ozone, weathering, abrasion, extreme temperatures and wind damage, 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.
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 Waterbeach, call 07467 757 367.
EPDM Rubber Roofs in Waterbeach: What We See Locally
EPDM is the membrane we mainly fit on commercial buildings and larger flat roofs, and Waterbeach is seeing plenty of new building as the new town takes shape. Bigger roof areas, such as those on business premises, larger outbuildings or wide single-storey buildings, benefit from a material that can be laid in large sheets with few joints.
The synthetic rubber has been used across the roofing industry for over 40 years. It copes well with ozone, weathering, temperature extremes and wind, which counts for a lot in exposed fen-edge country where roofs feel the full force of the weather. Installation is quick, which helps keep disruption to a business or household short. For smaller domestic flat roofs we may suggest an alternative, and we are happy to explain why. We also install EPDM in Soham and Great Shelford.
Alongside our Staines head office, we have a second office covering this part of the country, including Waterbeach. 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 South Cambridgeshire District Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.
