Flat Roof replacement
Commercial property owners choose EPDM because it is cheaper, easy to install and has a longer lifespan. It is made of recycled materials and is environmentally friendly.
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) is a synthetic rubber highly resistant to extreme temperatures, ozone, abrasion and strong wind. It withstands heavy snow, storm, hail and hurricane, protecting any property for years.
The earliest record of EPDM roof usage in the UK is from 1962. It is a young roof with little time to be tested, but it has proven a higher average lifespan than other roof types. At Flat Roofers Basingstoke we install and repair EPDM roofs.
Rubber roofing is far more resilient in extreme weather. It is also scratch-proof, lightweight and keeps its colour. EPDM is increasingly popular for commercial flat roofs in Basingstoke, Hampshire and across Britain.
What is EPDM?
EPDM is a synthetic rubber used mainly in construction and the automotive industry for its temperature flexibility and resistance to ultraviolet radiation, ozone and long atmospheric exposure.
EPDM is used for everything from window and door seals to electrical gaskets. Despite its excellent sealing, it is less heat-resistant than silicone rubber, withstanding only 130°C (266°F).
- Ethylene propylene diene monomer
- Synthetic rubber membrane

What is the lifespan of the EPDM roof?
EPDM is one of the longest-lasting roofing systems, lasting 25-30 years, often longer with good maintenance. Add quick installation and low cost, and it is a perfect choice for your roof.
Is EPDM waterproof?
EPDM resists many chemical hazards, such as noxious emissions, bird faeces and other natural and man-made chemicals.
The membrane is waterproof and contains no heavy metals or halogens, making an ecologically friendly roof that is easy to maintain and lasts many decades.
The membrane gives water no chance to leak. If extreme weather does cause a leak, it takes little effort to repair.
