Why EPDM for DIY flat roofing?
EPDM brings a reliability and longevity to DIY projects that other systems haven’t, traditionally. With a service life expectancy of more than 50 years, it is fast-becoming the sustainable alternative to many traditional materials that the sector has been looking for. The performance and longevity contribute to a much better comparable value vs. life cycle cost.
Elevate EPDM systems are fast and easy to apply on flat roofs with safe, water-based and bonding adhesives. Ideal for DIY, buying a roofing kit means that homeowners need no longer worry about getting the quantities right – we’ll do that for you.
We stock standard DIY shed and garage roof kits in a range of sizes or can tailor a flat roof kit to your project. A bespoke kit can include roof trims and fixings, accessories and even skylights if you need them.
When you need to call in a professional
Confidence is an important consideration for any DIYer thinking of taking on a critical home improvement project. Safety is the top priority and as you’re working at height, even if on a single-storey extension, garage roof or shed, make sure safety is at the forefront.
If you find you’re not confident about completing your roof repair or replacement, we have a network of qualified, approved professional roofers and are happy to connect you for free via our installer network.

The benefits of EPDM for DIY flat roofs
EPDM flat roofing materials are a far cry from traditional flat roof products. Felt, tar paper and other bitumen-based systems are becoming less common as the benefits of EPDM membranes are realised.
Easy to apply
EPDM membranes are typically laid in a single sheet for most domestic projects. This is ideal for DIY installation, as there are no joins to worry about.
Basic tools
For preparation of the roof and application of the new membrane, just a few simple tools are required. A domestic brush, rollers or pad to apply adhesive and penny rollers to help with the edges.
Cold-applied adhesive
EPDM membranes are adhered with a cold system using water-based adhesives and bonding adhesive. Traditional methods often require the use of hot substances or tools for application and this is a big advantage for the EPDM system for DIY use.
