EPDM Flat Roofs In Wivenhoe

Up the hill from the quay, many Wivenhoe homes built after the war have a flat-roofed garage or a single-storey extension at the back. These are often still covered in old felt that has cracked, blistered or started to pond. EPDM is a single sheet of rubber membrane with no joints across the roof, which makes it a tidy, low-maintenance choice for these smaller flat roofs.

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

Local Knowledge

Flat-roofed garages and extensions around Wivenhoe Cross

The typical job is a garage or kitchen extension near Wivenhoe Cross where the felt has failed and water has got into the boards. We strip the old covering back to the joists, check them, and lay a new deck, usually with insulation if the room below is heated. The EPDM sheet is then bonded to the deck in one piece, with proper trims at the edges and a neat upstand where the roof meets the house wall. Getting the fall right matters, so rainwater runs to the gutter instead of sitting in puddles. As a new roof, it carries our 10-year guarantee.

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

Points to think about in Wivenhoe

Most flat roofs up the hill sit outside the old town conservation area, so like-for-like replacement rarely needs permission. If your extension is in the old town or attached to a listed building, we check first. Where an extension butts onto a neighbour's wall, we take care with the flashing on the shared side.
