Why Choose EPDM for your roofing project?
Why EPDM is the right choice for modern roofing
EPDM offers a long-lasting and low maintenance approach to domestic flat roofing. With a life expectancy of more than 50 years, EPDM could outlive some buildings. EPDM delivers 100% waterproofing performance over its expected lifespan of over five decades and requires little or no maintenance once correctly installed.
Homeowners must keep a close eye on felt roofs and ensure they are looked after and examined regularly for signs of damage. Common domestic felt is often tacked in place, which is not conducive to keeping water out, so as a result, many shed roofs need to be stripped back and replaced every few years.

EPDM FAQs
Yes, EPDM can be cut in situ using sharp, long-bladed EPDM scissors. Mark the EPDM with a chalk or crayon along the cutting line using a straight edge for the best results.
When trimming the overhang edges, such as when fitting a shed roof kit, ensure the line is straight and even, leaving sufficient (approx. 50mm) in place to seal when the battens are replaced.
EPDM systems are fast and easy to install. This has made them popular for DIY on a range of domestic projects, such as:
- Shed roofing
- Garage roof replacement
- Flat roof extensions
- Garden rooms
We provide an extensive range of installation guides and offer expert advice to help you get your projects completed right, first time.
