Assess the whole roof before choosing rubber
Check the deck and roof edges before choosing rubber; Adam's photographs show the condition beneath the proposed membrane.
Repeated splits in old felt
Several patches across an old covering justify an assessment of the whole roof. A new membrane needs more than the existing damage hidden beneath it.
Leaking around a raised edge
Water beside the house wall calls for inspection of the upstand and its termination. That detail belongs in the rubber roof specification.
An extension being refurbished
Renewing the covering gives you the opportunity to discuss insulation, deck condition and drainage together rather than treating them as unrelated jobs.
A plain garage roof
A simple roof shape is worth discussing for EPDM, with the sheet layout, gutter edge and wall junctions checked against the actual dimensions.
Prepare the deck before the rubber goes down
Know what supports the new rubber covering before you book. Adam photographs the deck, edges and outlets, then sets out any board renewal and membrane details in your written installation quote.
The covering is installed over the prepared support using the specified bonding and detail components. Roof penetrations, upstands and gutter edges are worked into the installation rather than left for surface sealant afterwards. Adam records progress so you can see the deck preparation and the finished edge details, including areas obscured once the roof is complete. The job requires no deposit and carries our 10-year workmanship guarantee on completion.

Rubber roofs on Buckingham extensions
Rear extensions behind Buckingham terraces and garages beside newer homes present different routes for materials and different wall junctions. Dormers add height and awkward access, while a garden garage calls for attention to the outlet and roof fall. The material choice starts with those practical details. Adam inspects the actual roof, so your EPDM proposal deals with its shape, support and drainage rather than relying on a description such as a standard flat roof.
Compare the roofing systems as complete jobs
Compare the membrane, deck and edge work together, with each part identified in Adam's written roof specification.
An EPDM installation
A rubber system combines its sheet layout with suitable bonding, edge trims and penetration details. It needs a compatible prepared support, and your proposal identifies those elements rather than assuming every existing deck is ready to receive rubber.
Best for: A specified flexible covering
A felt or GRP proposal
A layered felt covering or fibreglass laminate uses a different installation method and supporting specification. Ask Adam to explain the alternatives against the measured roof and its use, comparing the full scope rather than the material names alone.
Best for: Comparing alternative roof constructions
A customer’s account of the work
Very professional first visit. Very informative and gave options & samples. Arrived on time each day, did a great job and helped with another little job not relating to the roof... very polite and tidy too. Would definitely reccommend.
When estimating they were the only ones to actually inspect the roof! Provided photos and full explanation of the rework required to resolve the issue. Carried out the repair as planned, when planned with minimal disruption and no damage. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this business.
Job was completed quickly and efficiently. Adam was polite, friendly and professional. Communication was very good - I was kept informed of roofing choices, delivery dates and when the job would be started.
Count the details as well as the area
The measured membrane area is one cost driver, but a rooflight, pipe and wall upstand each introduce additional detail work. Deck repairs, insulation and access affect the quote too. Adam records what the roof requires and sets it out with photographs. Your written proposal makes the full installation clear before you decide whether EPDM is the right choice.

EPDM rubber roofing questions
Is EPDM better than felt?
EPDM and felt solve the covering differently: rubber uses a flexible membrane, while felt uses bonded bituminous layers. The roof shape, support and proposed details decide which fits the job. Adam explains those choices after inspecting and quotes the specified system, avoiding a blanket claim that one material suits every extension.
Does EPDM go brittle with age?
EPDM is a flexible roofing material, but a roof still needs its bonding, edge details and existing condition inspected. Damage at a termination is different from deterioration of the sheet itself. Adam examines both before proposing work, so the recommendation concerns the actual roof rather than a general promise about rubber.
Can you walk on an EPDM roof?
An EPDM roof should only be accessed in accordance with its design and the installed system's requirements. It is not automatically an outdoor living surface. Tell Adam how the roof will be used before installation so the proposed covering, access and any protective measures are considered together in the specification.
Does EPDM need a flame to install?
EPDM roofing is installed with bonding and detail products rather than torching the rubber sheet. The specific system still needs a suitable dry substrate and correctly prepared edges. Adam explains the installation method in your proposal and shows the deck condition, allowing you to understand what is going beneath the new membrane.
Can EPDM go over an existing felt roof?
The existing covering and deck must be assessed before deciding on any overlay. Concealing damp or damaged support leaves the new roof depending on an unsound base. Adam inspects those layers and describes the preparation in writing, including removal and replacement where the roof condition requires it.
