Epdm Roofing in Rochester , Medway

Traditional bitumen felt roofs are prone to blistering in the summer heat and cracking during winter freeze-thaw cycles, which can lead to persistent leaks. EPDM is a high-performance, single-ply synthetic rubber membrane that offers a far more reliable alternative. Because it is installed as a seamless sheet, it eliminates the risk of joint failure, which is where most leaks typically occur. It remains flexible, UV-resistant, and is designed to withstand the heavy standing water and wind-driven rain common to the Medway Valley, providing an impressive lifespan of over fifty years.

When replacing a flat roof, we take compliance seriously. Under Part L of the Building Regulations, if you are replacing more than 50% of your roof covering, you are required to upgrade the thermal insulation to modern standards. Levi King conducts a thorough inspection of your existing timber deck and insulation before any work begins. This ensures your home stays warmer in the winter and more efficient year-round, while also protecting the structural integrity of the roof deck beneath the new waterproof membrane.

Successfully installing an EPDM roof in Rochester requires careful attention to detail, especially around complex features like roof lanterns, parapet walls, and edge trims. We use advanced adhesive systems and professional detailing to ensure that water cannot track behind flashings or around roof penetrations. By focusing on correct water disposal and secure edge detailing, we provide a maintenance-free, weather-tight finish that keeps your garage, extension, or dormer roof dry throughout the unpredictable Kentish seasons.
