EPDM Flat Roofs In Colchester

Many post-war homes in Colchester were built with a felt-covered garage or rear extension, and in places like Monkwick and St Johns those roofs are often on their second or third patch. EPDM replaces them with a single sheet of synthetic rubber, so there are no joins across the roof for water to work through.

We install and repair across all major options to suit your home and budget.

Local Knowledge

Flat roofs we replace in EPDM

Typical jobs include garages behind 1960s semis in Prettygate and Shrub End, and kitchen extensions in Highwoods, Myland and Stanway, where homes built since the 1980s now need their first flat roof replacement. We take off the old covering, lay a new timber deck and bond the rubber membrane down in one piece. Edges are finished with purpose-made trims, and the sheet is turned up the wall and protected where it meets the house. The result is a neat, flat finish that suits a simple roof shape.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01206 648098 or book online.

Colchester considerations for EPDM

On the east side, near The Hythe and Old Heath, wind can get under poorly fixed edges, so we pay close attention to perimeter trims. Moss and debris washed off north-facing slopes above can block outlets, so we check where the water drains. As a new roof, an EPDM roof from us comes with our 10-year guarantee.
