We don’t do ‘sales pitches’ and we don’t hide behind jargon. If you’re investing in a new roof, you deserve to know exactly how it’s being built and why we use the gear we do. From the way we bond the EPDM to the structural timber work underneath, everything is done to instructor-level standards—no corners cut, no bodge jobs. If your question isn’t in the list below, just give Kieran a call and he’ll give you the answer.
Unlike traditional felt roofs that can fail within 10 years, our BBA-approved EPDM systems have a life expectancy of over 50 years. It’s a ‘once-and-for-all’ solution for your property.
Yes. Because Kieran is a certified EPDM instructor and we use premium-grade materials, we provide a full 20-year watertight guarantee on all new installations as standard
In some cases, yes—but as structural carpentry specialists, we prefer to inspect the decking first. We ensure the timber foundation is 100% sound before sealing, as this is the key to a roof that lasts half a century.
While the initial cost is slightly higher than felt, the ‘cost-per-year’ is significantly lower. When you factor in the lack of maintenance and the 50-year lifespan, EPDM is the most cost-effective flat roof investment on the market.
EPDM is an inert material, meaning it remains flexible from -40°C to +150°C. Unlike felt or bitumen, which becomes brittle and cracks during thermal expansion and contraction, our rubber membranes stretch and move with your building, eliminating the risk of stress-fractures.
Many contractors use thinner, 0.5mm membranes. We exclusively install 1.2mm or 1.5mm heavy-duty EPDM. This thickness provides superior puncture resistance and allows us to achieve the precision detailing required around roof lanterns and complex gully systems.
Not a penny. We offer free, honest surveys across Teesside. We’ll get on the roof, check the state of the boards, and give you a proper breakdown of what’s needed. No pressure, just a fair price for a top job.
There’s no comparison. Traditional felt has seams that eventually peel and leak; EPDM is a single, seamless sheet of high-grade rubber. It doesn’t crack in the sun, it doesn’t rot, and moss won’t grow on it. It’s the best stuff on the market, period.
Most domestic flat roofs—like a standard garage or extension—are stripped, timber-checked, and sealed in a single day. We don’t mess about; we get in, get the job done to a high standard, and leave the site spotless.
Virtually none. Because it’s a smooth, non-porous surface, dirt and grit usually just wash off when it rains. You don’t need to paint it or stone-chip it. If it gets a bit dusty, a quick splash with a garden hose is all it ever needs.
he beauty of EPDM is that it’s easily repairable. If you drop something sharp and puncture it, we don’t have to replace the whole roof. We can chemically bond a patch over the top that becomes part of the original sheet, keeping it 100% watertight again.
We’ve brought specialist drone technology to our Sunderland rubber roofing service to provide the most accurate assessment possible. Whether you’re looking for a free survey for a new EPDM installation or a standalone inspection for insurance, our high-res aerial imaging catches what the human eye misses. It’s the safest, most efficient way to plan your flat roof project in Roker, Fulwell, and across the SR postcode, identifying leaks and structural fatigue without the need for initial scaffolding.
Whether it’s a leaking garage roof or a bespoke new build, we’re on hand to provide a free, no-obligation survey and a straight-talking quote.
