01

Why choose EPDM for your flat roof replacement?

Modern flat roofs in Southborough and the wider Tunbridge Wells region face significant challenges from fluctuating weather, ranging from harsh summer heat to heavy autumn rainfall. Unlike older multi-layer felt systems that are prone to blistering or cracking over time, EPDM remains flexible and is entirely UV-resistant. This durable synthetic rubber membrane can easily accommodate the natural movement of a building without splitting. With a potential lifespan exceeding fifty years, it is widely considered one of the most reliable and maintenance-free options currently available for flat roofing.

02

Meeting thermal standards in Southborough homes

When we undertake a full flat roof replacement, we go beyond just laying the new membrane. Levi conducts a thorough inspection of your existing timber roof deck to ensure the structure is sound. As part of our commitment to quality and compliance, we ensure every project meets the thermal efficiency requirements set out in Part L of the Building Regulations. If your current roof lacks adequate insulation, we will upgrade the thermal performance during the replacement, helping to keep your home warmer in winter and lowering your energy costs.

03

How do we ensure a watertight finish?

Precision is key when installing EPDM roofing. We use a single-piece, seamless membrane wherever possible, which significantly reduces the risk of water ingress compared to traditional jointed systems. Our process includes meticulous detailing around roof lanterns, parapet walls, and chimneys, using specialized adhesives and flashings to ensure every edge is properly sealed. We also fit robust edge trims that are specifically designed to shed water away from the roofline, preventing the common problem of water tracking down the fascia boards of your property.

04

Do you need a survey for your flat roof?

If you have noticed persistent dampness, pooling water, or signs of wear on your existing roof, it is worth booking a professional assessment before the damage becomes extensive. Whether you are planning a new extension in Southborough or require an emergency repair on a failed felt roof, Levi King provides hands-on, expert guidance throughout the process. Every project is handled directly by Levi, ensuring personal accountability and a high standard of workmanship on every job.

EPDM Flat Roofing Advice

Frequently Asked Questions About EPDM Roofing

Practical answers from Levi King on seamless rubber roof installations, OSB3 decking upgrades, and flat roof repairs across Snodland and Aylesford.

How long does it take to install a new rubber roof on a Snodland garage?

+

For most standard single garages or typical household extensions, I can usually complete the full strip-back and new EPDM installation within one to two days. I work efficiently to make sure the building is watertight by the end of the first day, so you don't have to worry about the weather changing overnight.

Is EPDM better than GRP fibreglass for properties in Kent?

+

Both have their place, but EPDM is often the better choice for residential buildings that might experience a bit of natural movement. Because rubber is flexible, it can expand and contract without cracking. GRP fibreglass is very rigid and tough, which is great for balconies with heavy foot traffic, but for most extensions and garages in Snodland, EPDM offers a more reliable, leakproof finish that lasts longer.

Does a new flat roof need to meet building regulations?

+

If I am replacing more than 50% of your flat roof, current building regulations usually require an upgrade to the thermal insulation. This is known as a warm roof system. By adding high-quality insulation boards under the rubber membrane, I can help you keep your extension much warmer and lower your energy bills.

Can you fix a small hole in an EPDM roof without replacing the whole thing?

+

Yes. One of the best things about rubber roofing is how easy it is to repair. If a stray tile from a higher roof has fallen and punctured the membrane, I can apply a specialist EPDM patch. This bonds chemically to the original sheet, creating a permanent fix that is just as strong as the rest of the roof.
