Epdm Rubber Roofing in Wakefield, Wakefield

If you've lived in a house with a felt roof, you know the drill. Every few years, the seams start to lift, the sun makes it brittle, and eventually, you're looking at a damp patch on your ceiling. EPDM is a different beast altogether. This 'Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer' (we'll just call it EPDM for short) is a single-ply membrane that doesn't crack, rot, or peel. It’s incredibly flexible, meaning it easily expands and contracts when the temperature swings from a freezing January morning to a rare scorching summer day. It's the kind of roof you can install and then basically forget about for the next 50 years.

One of the things people love most about our EPDM service is that there are no naked flames involved. Traditional roofing often uses 'hot works' which can be a bit nerve-wracking for homeowners. Our systems are entirely cold-applied. We prepare the roof deck—usually with fresh, sturdy OSB3 boarding—and then use a high-strength adhesive to bond the rubber membrane directly to the surface. This fully adhered system creates a seamless finish that looks incredibly sleek. We finish everything off with professional kerb edges and gutter trims, so it doesn't just work well; it looks the part too.

Being local Wakefield roofers, we know exactly what the weather here can throw at a building. From the exposed spots near Ossett to the Victorian terraces in the city centre, every property has its quirks. We don't just roll out some rubber and leave; we pay close attention to the upstands, the abutments around your chimney, and the lead flashing to make sure the whole system is watertight. We’re a fully registered company (No: 16557299) and we carry £5 million in public liability insurance, because we believe in doing things properly. Plus, with our 20-year guarantee, you can sleep soundly knowing your extension or dormer is protected.
