EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer) is a highly durable synthetic rubber commonly used as a waterproofing membrane on flat roofs and facades.

EPDM rubber roofing offers a long-lasting, waterproof and energy-efficient roofing option, and is virtually maintenance-free. It also requires no heat or welding meaning it’s safer and quicker than other flat roofing materials.

UV and Weather Resistance: EPDM membranes are resistant to UV radiation, ozone, and other environmental factors that can degrade traditional roofing materials over time. This resistance helps prolong the lifespan of the membrane and ensures long-term protection for the roof structure.

Environmentally Friendly: EPDM is a recyclable material, and some manufacturers offer recycled content in their membranes. Additionally, EPDM roofs can help improve energy efficiency by reflecting sunlight and reducing cooling costs.

Low Maintenance: Once installed, EPDM membranes require minimal maintenance compared to other roofing materials. Periodic inspections and minor repairs may be necessary to address any damage or wear, but overall upkeep is relatively straightforward.

The Main Benefits of EPDM Membranes

• Very high resistance to ageing and weathering - certified service life of over 50 years
• Thanks to it's superb flexibility, EPDM can be fitted to almost any flat roof and can easily be installed around outstanding features such as pipes and drains
• Suitable for extensive and intensive greening systems. Root resistant without harmful root protection agents
• EPDM does not contain any hazardous additives such as heavy metals, halogens or volatile plasticisers
• Induction welding allows for a mechanical fix without puncturing the membrane allowing the membrane to be easily recycled

Drone Roof Surveys

Identify maintenance requirements safely and efficiently with a drone survey of your property.

With our roof coating service we provide an effective and non-traditional roof survey. By using drones we are able to mitigate risk and reduce delays by eliminating the requirement to work at height.

Our professional team of qualified pilots can be on location within 24 hours to conduct your roof survey. Using our powerful analytical software we compile and deliver meaningful reports that help you to plan and cost repair and maintenance tasks.
