Plus, it's relatively easy to install, which can save you time and money.

Korbin Marcel
"When our slate roof was losing tiles, we weren’t sure whom to trust to repair it. APX Roofing was recommended to us by a friend, and we couldn't be more happy we called them. They matched the new tiles with the existing, making it look as good as new. Excellent service!"

Find answers to common questions about our roofing services
What exactly is EPDM roofing, then?
EPDM stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer – a bit of a mouthful, I know! In simpler terms, it's a type of synthetic rubber roofing membrane. It's really durable, flexible, and weather-resistant, which is why it's so popular for flat roofs on homes and commercial buildings. It's typically black, but some manufacturers offer it in other colours, or with a reflective coating to help keep your building cooler.
Why should I choose EPDM over other roofing options for my property?
There are a few key reasons why customers choose EPDM. First off, it’s incredibly long-lasting. A properly installed EPDM roof can easily last for 30-50 years – that's a serious return on investment! Secondly, it’s very resistant to the elements: UV rays, ozone, rain, snow, you name it. Thirdly, it's relatively easy and quick to install, which helps keep labour costs down. Finally, it's environmentally friendly, as it can be recycled at the end of its lifespan. Compared to felt roofing, it's a massive upgrade in terms of lifespan and reliability.
How long does an EPDM roof installation actually take?
The timescale depends on the size and complexity of your roof, but generally speaking, an EPDM installation is pretty quick. For a standard residential flat roof, we're usually talking a day or two. We always aim to minimise disruption and get the job done as efficiently as possible, so you can get back to normal life quickly. APX Roofing always provide a timeline, so you can plan around the project.
What sort of maintenance does EPDM roofing need?
One of the best things about EPDM is that it requires very little maintenance. You might want to give it a quick clean every now and then to remove any debris, but that's about it. Unlike some other roofing materials, EPDM doesn't crack, peel, or blister, so you don't have to worry about regular repairs. A simple inspection once a year will help spot any potential issues early, ensuring its longevity.
What kind of guarantees do you provide on your EPDM roofing installations?
At APX Roofing, we stand behind the quality of our workmanship and the materials we use. We typically offer a 20-year warranty on our EPDM roofing installations. This covers both the materials themselves and our installation work, giving you complete peace of mind. We will walk you through our process, so you understand every part of our work.
Can EPDM be used on any type of flat roof?
EPDM is a versatile roofing material, and it can be used on most types of flat roofs. However, it's always best to get a professional assessment to make sure it's the right choice for your specific roof structure and needs. Things like drainage and the existing roof deck need to be considered. At APX Roofing, we offer free, no-obligation surveys to assess your roof and advise on the best solution.
I've heard EPDM can be expensive. Is it really worth the investment?
While the initial cost of EPDM might be slightly higher than some other flat roofing options, it's important to consider the long-term value. Because EPDM lasts so much longer and requires so little maintenance, it often works out cheaper in the long run. Plus, it can improve your property's energy efficiency, potentially saving you money on your heating bills.
Does EPDM come in different colours or styles?
Traditionally, EPDM is black. However, some manufacturers now offer it in grey and white, or with a reflective coating. These lighter colours can help to reduce heat absorption and keep your building cooler in the summer. You can also get EPDM with a textured finish for added slip resistance. Ask about your colour choices during your consultation.
