Epdm Roofing in Hastings

While EPDM is user-friendly in terms of maintenance, getting it installed correctly is absolutely key to its performance and longevity. Our experienced team here in Hastings uses the right techniques and specialist adhesives to ensure a perfect, watertight fit every time. We prepare the roof deck meticulously, cut the membrane to size, and bond it securely, paying close attention to all the crucial details around edges, outlets, and skylights. We generally use cold adhesives, which is a much safer process than the hot torch-on method used for some felt roofs, meaning less risk during the installation process itself.

EPDM isn't just another flat roof material; it's engineered to withstand the elements, making it perfect for properties in areas like Hastings and near the coast. Unlike felt which can crack and blister under temperature changes and UV rays, EPDM remains flexible in both hot and cold conditions. It's incredibly resistant to UV damage and ozone, meaning it won't degrade quickly in the sun. Plus, its elasticity allows it to handle building movement without cracking. It creates a seamless (or near-seamless for very large roofs) surface, dramatically reducing the risk of leaks that often occur at seams on older felt roofs.
