EPDM Rubber Roofing in Whittlesey
Whittlesey is a historic Fenland market town east of Peterborough, with a conservation area at its centre and newer homes around it. Older buildings often need slate and pantile repairs, and exposed newer roofs need ridge and verge work.
EPDM, short for ethylene propylene diene monomer, is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane that has been used on low-slope roofs around the world for more than 40 years. 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.
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 Whittlesey, call 07467 757 367.

Flashings and Edges
Upstands, edges and outlets are detailed carefully so the roof stays watertight where it meets walls and drains.
Large Single Sheets
EPDM can be laid in large sheets, which means fewer joins on bigger roofs.
Roof Replacement
We strip failed coverings, check and repair the deck and install a new EPDM membrane.
Repairs and Maintenance
We repair damaged EPDM and check outlets and flashings so small problems do not become leaks.
Commercial Flat Roofs
EPDM is well suited to the large flat roofs found on shops, offices, warehouses and industrial units.

EPDM Rubber Roofs for Homes and Businesses in Whittlesey
We mainly fit EPDM rubber roofing on commercial and larger flat roofs, and in Whittlesey that means business premises and bigger buildings where a quick, durable covering is needed. Speed is a real advantage: the membrane goes down fast, so the roof is watertight sooner and normal use resumes quickly.
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane that has been in use across the industry for over 40 years. It resists ozone, weathering, extreme temperatures and wind, which suits the open Fenland setting around the town. Before quoting, we inspect the existing deck and drainage, because those determine how well any new covering will perform. For a smaller domestic roof, we may recommend GRP instead. Commercial customers in Peterborough and Spalding can use our EPDM service too.
Alongside our Staines head office, we have a second office covering this part of the country, including Whittlesey. 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 Fenland District Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.
