EPDM Rubber Roofing in Whitton
Whitton, close to Twickenham Stadium, is largely made up of 1930s semi-detached and terraced homes with hipped tile roofs and bay windows. Ridge tiles, valleys, fascias and flat roofs over extensions are the most common repair jobs we see here.
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.
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.
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 Whitton, call 07467 757 367.

Why Whitton Properties Need the Right EPDM Rubber Roofs
For a large flat roof on a shop, office or block of flats in Whitton, EPDM rubber is usually the system we reach for. It is the membrane we mainly fit on commercial and larger flat roofs, while the typical extension or porch roof on a 1930s semi tends to suit GRP.
EPDM has been used in the roofing industry for over 40 years. It resists ozone, weathering, extreme temperatures and wind, and it is quick to install, which helps businesses keep disruption to a minimum. We assess the deck, upstands and outlets before fitting, because these details decide how well any membrane performs. If your property has a large flat roof, we will explain whether EPDM, GRP or felt suits it best. We also fit EPDM in Twickenham and Hounslow.
At around 7 miles from our Staines office, Whitton sits within our core area across South West London. 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 the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.
