EPDM Rubber Roofing

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber roofing is a proven, high-performance flat roofing solution with an expected lifespan exceeding 50 years. Summit Roofing Services is an approved installer of leading EPDM systems including Firestone RubberCover and ClassicBond across Yorkshire.

EPDM is a single-ply membrane that is extremely flexible, UV stable, and resistant to ozone and weathering. Unlike traditional felt, it does not crack, blister, or shrink over time. It is the material of choice for domestic flat roofs on garages, extensions, dormers, and porches where long-term reliability is paramount.

Our installation process involves preparing a clean, dry substrate (typically WBP plywood), applying specialist EPDM bonding adhesive, carefully laying the membrane to avoid air pockets, and detailing all edges, upstands, and outlets with purpose-made trims and sealants. We also install appropriate insulation to achieve compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations.

The beauty of EPDM is its simplicity — a single sheet with no joints or seams across the main roof area means fewer potential failure points. Summit backs every EPDM installation with the manufacturer's material guarantee plus our own fitting warranty for complete peace of mind.
