This Glasgow homeowner hired McGaffer Roofing for a double garage flat roof replacement.

Great service from start to finish, and the standard of work is top-notch. Everything discussed (from start date to costs, etc.) was all kept to the agreed deal. Guys very helpful with my mum to talk her through what exactly was being done each day.

Left job clean and tidy. Drone pictures were very helpful, especially so my mum could see the roof completely. Highly recommended.

Why might you need an EPDM roofer?

EPDM roofing (also known as rubber roofing) is commonly used on flat and low-slope roofs across a range of property types.

Hire an experienced EPDM roofer, and they can help:

• Replace a worn or leaking roof on a garage

• Cover a flat roof extension or kitchen extension

• Upgrade roofing on sheds, garden rooms, or outbuildings

• Protect porches and dormers with low-slope roofs

• Install EPDM on low-pitch roofs where tiles aren’t suitable

What does EPDM installation involve?

EPDM installation follows a set process to make sure the roof is secure and fully waterproof:

• Inspect the existing roof and structure

• Prepare or replace the roof deck if needed

• Lay the EPDM membrane to size

• Secure edges, trims, and fixings

• Seal joints, outlets, and flashing

• Check drainage and overall finish

How much does it cost to install an EPDM roof?

The average EPDM rubber roofing cost is £80 per square metre.

That said, your exact EPDM roof cost will depend on:

• Roof size – Larger roofs cost more to install

• Access – Awkward shapes or limited access can increase labour time

• Location – Labour rates are typically higher in London and the South East

• Roof slope changes – Improving drainage by altering the fall adds to the cost

• Timber repairs – Damaged decking or joists must be fixed before installation

Other FAQs about EPDM roofing

How long does an EPDM roof last?

A properly installed EPDM roof can last 25 to 50 years. Its lifespan depends on installation quality, drainage, and regular checks for damage.

Can EPDM be installed over an existing flat roof?

In some cases, yes. EPDM can be installed over an existing felt roof if the structure underneath is sound. An installer will inspect the roof first to check suitability.

What are the disadvantages of EPDM roofing?

EPDM is durable, but:

• Poor installation can lead to edge or seam issues

• It can be damaged by sharp objects

• Repairs should be done correctly to maintain waterproofing

These risks are why many homeowners choose to hire an experienced EPDM roofer for the job.

Can you walk on an EPDM flat roof?

Yes, EPDM is flexible and durable enough for occasional foot traffic (such as access for maintenance). However, regular walking or heavy use may require extra protection or walkway pads.

Is EPDM better than felt roofing?

EPDM generally lasts longer and requires less maintenance than traditional felt, making it a good option for long-term flat roof solutions.

Can an EPDM roof be repaired?

Absolutely, EPDM can often be repaired. Small tears or damage can often be repaired without replacing the whole roof. That's as long as the rest of the membrane is in good condition.

Do EPDM roofs need much maintenance?

EPDM roofs are low maintenance but should still be checked occasionally for debris, drainage issues, or damage after storms.

Can I install an EPDM roof myself?

While DIY kits exist, EPDM roofing must be fitted correctly to avoid leaks and drainage problems. That's why most homeowners choose to hire an installer to ensure the roof is secure and weatherproof.
