Frequently Asked Questions
Traditional felt shed roofing loses its integrity over time and often needs to be repaired or replaced. In hot weather, the surface is prone to melting and this can result in bubbles forming across the surface. When it rains, or the weather grows cooler, these bubbles can crack easily, which lets in water.
Replacing old felt covering with a modern EPDM membrane minimises the risk of leaking and preserves the integrity of the shed for longer.
The ideal length of overhang is around 150mm. We allow an additional 300mm of EPDM in our shed roof kits to ensure an even overhang on all sides.
The cost of shed roofing can vary according to the project scope and selected materials. It can often be tempting to buy a cheap solution for the short term, such as felt. Replacing a shed roof with a long-term approach offers better cost vs. value. EPDM membrane lasts exceptionally longer than other traditional materials.
With materials costs rising in 2022, it makes sense to ensure a cost efficient solution. We have kept our range of complete shed roof kits in standard sizes from as little as £84 (6ft x 4ft). Fast and easy to install, and with a lifetime guarantee, this type of system offers the best long term value.
Yes, it is always advisable to strip back all the existing roof covering down to the timber substrate. Ensure the surface is clean, dust-free and dry for the best results
Modern EPDM membranes are fast becoming the go-to replacement for outdated felt shed coverings. With a more diverse range of goods typically stored in sheds and garages, a better form of protection is now more popular.
One of the fastest and most cost effective ways to re-roof a shed is to buy and install a DIY EPDM shed roof kit. With a 50-year service life expectancy, cost vs. value over time can be significantly higher than other traditional materials with a shorter lifespan.
EPDM roofing systems are perhaps one of the most straightforward to install on flat roofs. Membranes are installed typically in a single sheet, using water-based adhesives and few tools.
Simplified, accelerated installation makes flat roofing achievable for DIY and reduces labour time for trade roofers.
The planting layer of a green roof can consist of a single species, such as sedum or a variety of succulents and suitable low-maintenance garden plants.
It is common for green roof plants to be installed using a series of ‘mats’ to ease planting and decision making. Talk to our green roof division for advice about selecting the components for your project – from the waterproofing to completion.
A warm roof has the insulation attached to the decking and not between the rafters. In this type of breathable system, condensation can be minimised, and heat conserved within the property without additional ventilation.
In flat roofs, a warm roof construction can be achieved using PIR insulation boards above the roof deck and beneath the membrane.
A high quality rubber roof system such as EPDM can far outlast many other traditional roofing materials. RubberCover, for instance, has a service life expectancy of over 50 years.
When you’re installing a long-lasting roofing system, such as EPDM, it is important to use a high quality adhesive to ensure you get the best from the system. Poor quality adhesive is likely to create patchy adhesion and shorten the service life of the membrane.
We stock a range of PermaRoof and Elevate roofing adhesives, especially formulated for EPDM.
To improve thermal performance and efficiency, it is a good idea to install insulation. Insulation boards are ideal for flat roofs and available in a range of grades to suit your needs. They can be quickly installed over the existing, prepared substrate and EPDM or liquid roofing can be applied over the top.
We stock Kingspan and Resista insulation boards in a range of sizes and offer guidance to help you get it right, first time.
The best roofing system for a flat roof is often project-specific, depending on several aspects of the plan. These may include design, scope, budget, purpose and also building standards requirements.
We would always recommend EPDM membranes for domestic flat roofing projects. Fast and easy to install, EPDM is ideal for DIY application on sheds, garages, garden rooms and extensions. We offer expert advice to help you find the best roofing systems for your projects, large or small – talk to us.
There are many different types of flat roofing system to choose from. For a long-term approach, consider a high performance EPDM membrane, which has a life expectancy of over 50 years.
Liquid roofing systems can be ideal for complex roofing where membrane is difficult to install or where there are multiple fixed extrusions. Liquid roofs are popular in commercial projects and can be used in conjunction with anti-slip mediums to enhance safety.
We offer expert advice to help you find the best roofing systems for commercial and domestic projects.
Using a membrane as the base layer of a green roof gives the roof deck the waterproofing it needs. This is because green roofs become saturated with water through the planting mediums. We would recommend EPDM, which is available in large sheets, minimising the need for joins and often covering the project in a single piece.
