EPDM Rubber Roof roofing in Hersham

KT12Elmbridge

EPDM (rubber) is our default for larger flat roofs — single-sheet installs, no field seams, and a service life that comfortably outlives mineral felt. EPDM rubber isn't the most common cover in Hersham (that's natural slate on the railway cottages and Edwardian terraces), but it shows up on extensions, garages and replacement roofs across KT12.

Where epdm rubber fails — and how we fix it in KT12

  • Edge trim leaks when fascia kerbs are skimped
  • Cheap thin-gauge EPDM sold as the real thing online
  • Mechanical failure from foot traffic (ladders, satellite installs)

Our approach: We use 1.2 or 1.5 mm Firestone-grade EPDM with well-detailed kerbs, drip trims and warm-covering insulation — not the thin glue-and-go kits.

What is different about KT12

Neighbours talk in Hersham, which suits us. Many epdm rubber covering workmanship we do in KT12 comes from someone down the road, so the standard on your covering is the advert for the next one.

If it is urgent, say so when you call. We hold make-safe slots for KT12 and can get a covering watertight inside about 14 minutes of setting off while the full epdm rubber covering itemised estimate is prepared.

Drainage is the quiet issue here. Undersized outlets and shared downpipes between Victorian railway-era cottages around Hersham Green, Edwardian terraces off Molesey Road, and 1930s semis on the south side towards Burhill houses in and around Hersham Green push moisture where it was never meant to go, so we confirm the rainwater route as part of any epdm rubber covering itemised estimate.

  • Emergency make-safe available if the weather turns first
  • Advice on repair versus replace, honestly given
  • Skip or grab-away arranged in line with Elmbridge rules
  • Site left clean at the end of every day in Hersham

Before you commit to epdm rubber

Do you fit epdm rubber roofs in Hersham?

Yes — we cover epdm rubber installation, repair and matching in KT12. EPDM rubber is less dominant locally than natural slate on the railway cottages and Edwardian terraces, but we fit and repair it regularly.

How long does a epdm rubber roof last in Hersham?

Service life is 25–50 years from a single-ply EPDM system, fully bonded.. Hersham's exposure is moderate, so most roofs reach the upper end of that range when properly detailed.

What does epdm rubber roofing cost in KT12?

Indicative supply-and-fit pricing: £90–£140 supplied and laid (warm-roof build-up). Smaller localised repairs typically land in the £350–£1,400 range. Final price always depends on size, access and deck condition — we quote after a free on-site survey.

Can you match existing epdm rubber on a Hersham repair?

Yes — we source matching profiles for repairs where the rest of the roof has life left in it. For older Victorian railway-era cottages around Hersham Green stock we'll often salvage and re-use sound units to keep the colour and weathering consistent.

Do you handle the scaffold and waste removal in KT12?

All in. Scaffold, skip or tipper, permits and full clean-down are included in the written quote. You see one price, not a stack of add-ons.
