ABOUT US
Considering a Modern Flat Roof for Your Property in Torbay or South Devon?
If you've got a flat roof that's seen better days – maybe on an extension, garage, or dormer – you'll know the hassle traditional felt can sometimes bring. Leaks seem to appear out of nowhere, and the lifespan can feel a bit short. That's where EPDM rubber roofing comes into its own. It's become incredibly popular right here in Torbay and across South Devon, and for good reason. It offers a fantastic, long-lasting, and completely watertight solution that shrugs off our unpredictable weather. At Torbay Roofing, we specialise in expertly installing EPDM, giving you peace of mind for years to come.
WHAT WE OFFER
What Exactly is EPDM Rubber Roofing?
EPDM stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer – quite a mouthful! Most people just call it "rubber roofing." Essentially, it's a highly durable synthetic rubber membrane that's laid onto a flat roof deck. Unlike felt, which is often applied in layers and can be vulnerable at the joins, EPDM typically goes down as one large, seamless piece. This lack of seams is a huge plus when it comes to keeping water out. It's also really flexible, meaning it can handle the slight movements and temperature changes your roof goes through without cracking.

Why Choose an EPDM Flat Roof for Your Home or Business in Devon?
There are loads of brilliant benefits to opting for EPDM, especially in our climate. Firstly, durability is key. EPDM membranes are seriously tough – they resist UV radiation, temperature fluctuations, and even hail. You're looking at a roof that can easily last 20, 30, or even 40 years or more with minimal fuss. Secondly, they are completely watertight. That seamless installation means no joints for water to find its way through. It's also incredibly low maintenance; unlike felt, you won't typically need regular patch repairs. Just the occasional check and clean is usually enough. Plus, it's relatively lightweight and quick to install compared to some other systems.

Get In Touch
Many older flat roofs in the area are still covered in traditional bitumen felt. While felt has its place, EPDM offers some significant advantages for new installations or replacements. Felt is prone to cracking and blistering over time, often due to sun exposure and temperature changes, leading to leaks. Its lifespan is generally much shorter than EPDM. EPDM, with its single-ply construction and flexibility, avoids these common felt problems. It's a modern material engineered for long-term performance and watertight security, ultimately saving you time and money on repairs down the line.
