EPDM Rubber Roofing in Guildford

How to Tell You Need EPDM Rubber Roofing

EPDM is a single-sheet rubber membrane ideal for flat roofs — the fit depends on the roof size and detailing.

• A flat roof needing a durable, seam-free covering
• A failing felt roof you want to upgrade
• A garage, extension or dormer flat roof
• Ponding or splits in the current covering

When it is not the answer: A sound flat roof with an isolated fault can be repaired rather than re-covered in EPDM. Read the full guide.

Guildford homeowners tend to notice these signs earlier because wey Valley humidity around Bellfields and Shalford slows drying times and accelerates moss and mortar decay on the valley floor.
