EPDM Rubber Roofs,
Fitted Properly.

EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) is a synthetic rubber membrane used to waterproof flat roofs. It stays flexible in hot and cold weather, does not crack the way old felt does, and on most domestic roofs it is laid as a single sheet with no joins.

Elevate says its RubberCover membrane has a life expectancy of more than 50 years, even when exposed to sunlight. In practice a rubber roof lasts as long as the deck under it and the detailing at its edges, which is why we prepare both properly.

You get our own workmanship guarantee and the manufacturer’s guarantee on the Elevate membrane, both in writing. The exact terms are set out on your quote before any work starts, so you know what you are getting.

No. RubberCover is bonded to the deck with contact adhesive, so there is no gas torch on your roof. That makes it a safer choice next to timber fascias, roof voids and neighbouring properties.

We don’t recommend it. Laying rubber over old felt traps damp and hides rot in the deck. We strip the old covering, check the timbers and lay a sound deck, which is what the membrane needs to bond properly.

Most garage, extension and dormer roofs take one to three days, depending on the size, the access and how much of the deck needs replacing. The adhesive needs a dry day, so we plan around the weather.

Almost always. Elevate RubberCover is designed for residential flat roofs up to 150 square metres, which covers nearly every extension, garage, dormer, porch and bay roof. For a balcony or a roof you will walk on often, we may recommend GRP fibreglass instead — see our flat roof installations page.

It depends on the size of the roof, the state of the deck, and how many upstands, outlets and trims it needs. We look at the roof and give you a free, fixed written quote with no obligation.
