Exceptional qualities
Preparation comes first
We do not rush straight to the top layer. Our roof preparation gives the membrane a sound base and helps prevent avoidable failures later.
Clearer decisions on repairs or replacement
We inspect the roof properly before advising you. That helps you understand if a repair will do the job or if replacement makes better sense.
Why choose EPDM roofing?
At Roofers Direct Ltd, we install new EPDM roofs, flat roof replacements, garage roofs and extension roof coverings using one of the highest-performing flat roofing systems available. EPDM, or Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, is a durable synthetic rubber membrane designed for long-lasting waterproofing. It is an economical, environmentally friendly solution suitable for residential and commercial properties, including garages, sheds, green roofs and flat roof repairs. We begin every project with a free flat roof survey to recommend the right system for your property.

Our EPDM installation process
Roof deck preparation
We know an EPDM roof is only as good as the surface beneath it. Before installation, we prepare the roof deck by ensuring it is clean, dry, smooth and secure. We remove dust, grease and loose materials, check for trapped moisture and make sure all boards are firmly fixed. Proper preparation prevents future lifting, bubbling and premature roof failure.
Adherence application
We fully bond the EPDM membrane to the prepared roof deck with specialist adhesives, creating a seamless, watertight and wind-resistant system. This installation method eliminates membrane movement, prevents water ingress, withstands harsh UK weather and provides reliable long-term performance with minimal maintenance.
EPDM detailing
Our attention to detail creates a truly leak-free roof. We carefully form internal and external corners, use primer and seam tape to secure joints, install edge trims correctly and seal every roof penetration with precision. These finishing details ensure the membrane remains fully waterproof and performs for decades.
The trims
We fit EPDM edge trims around the roof perimeter to secure the membrane and protect exposed edges. The membrane is bonded, mechanically fixed and sealed with quality trims to resist wind uplift while directing rainwater away from the roof. Properly installed trims improve durability, appearance and the long-term stability of the entire roofing system.
