EPDM Flat Roofs In Southminster

Around Southminster's old centre, many post-war homes, bungalows and newer houses have flat-roofed garages, porches and outbuildings. Most were covered in felt, which cracks and lifts in the strong wind that crosses the Dengie peninsula. EPDM swaps that for a single sheet of rubber membrane bonded to a new deck, with no seams across the roof.

Local Knowledge

Flat roofs on Southminster garages and outbuildings

We often find felt garage roofs patched in several places, porch roofs where the edge has peeled back, and outbuildings with rotten boards underneath. Wind tends to get under loose edges and work them free. We strip the old covering, check the joists and lay a new deck. The EPDM membrane is then bonded across the whole surface, so wind has nothing to grab. Trims are fixed firmly around the edges, and where the roof meets the house, an upstand and flashing keep water out. We check the fall so rain runs into the gutter, not back towards the wall. As with any new roof, our 10-year guarantee applies.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01245 520306 or book online.

Things to bear in mind

Outbuildings and garages are usually outside the conservation area around St Leonard's Church, so like-for-like replacement rarely needs permission. If yours is in the historic centre or attached to a listed building, we'll check first. On open plots, we pay extra attention to edge fixings.
