EPDM Flat Roofs In Saffron Walden

Saffron Walden is famous for its old timber-framed and brick buildings, but around the edges of town sit post-war and newer homes with flat-roofed garages and extensions. Those flat roofs, often still finished in felt, are where EPDM rubber comes in. One continuous membrane replaces cracked felt laps and patches with a clean, seamless surface.

Local Knowledge

Flat roofs on the edges of town

Most of the EPDM roofs we fit in CB10 and CB11 cover garages and single-storey extensions on post-war houses. We also replace flat roofs on rear additions to older properties, where a modern extension meets a historic wall. Typical problems include felt that has cracked and blistered, ponding on a dipped deck and rotten edge timbers. We strip back to the joists, lay a new deck, then bond the rubber membrane in one sheet. Edge trims and fresh flashings finish the job, with careful detailing where the roof abuts older brick or render.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01279 294082 or book online.

Flat roofs near historic buildings

If an extension belongs to a listed building, even replacing its flat roof covering may need listed building consent, and the conservation area can affect visible changes. We check before quoting. EPDM's plain dark finish usually sits quietly on rear roofs. Every new flat roof we lay is covered by our 10-year guarantee.
