Traditional Felt Roofs Don’t Last Forever – Is Yours Letting You Down?
If you’ve been searching online for EPDM flat roof South Kirkby, flat roofing Wakefield, or roofing company Wakefield, this is the modern upgrade your property needs.
Where I Install EPDM Flat Roofing
Garage Roofs
Old felt garage roofs often split and hold water. I replace them with EPDM systems that handle standing water and remain watertight for decades.

Extensions and Dormers
Modern home extensions and dormers benefit from the clean, seamless look and durability of EPDM roofing. I ensure every job is compliant with building regulations.
Porches and Bay Roofs
I install EPDM flat roofing on small structures like porches and bay windows, preventing long-term water ingress and maintaining curb appeal.
Replacement of Failed Felt Roofing
If your existing felt roofing has failed, I can strip it off, repair any underlying damage, and replace it with a single-piece EPDM membrane for a safer, longer-lasting result.

A Safer, Cleaner Alternative to Torch-On Felt or GRP
One of the biggest benefits of EPDM is the flame-free installation. Unlike traditional torch-on felt systems, there’s no risk of fire or heat damage. This makes it safer not just for your home but for your peace of mind.
It also installs more cleanly than fibreglass (GRP), which can be sensitive to weather conditions and prone to cracking if applied incorrectly. As a roofer South Kirkby homeowners can rely on, I’ve chosen EPDM for its practicality and performance.
If you’re comparing your options and have typed in EPDM flat roof Wakefield or flat roofing South Kirkby, this system delivers the performance and safety that others struggle to match.

How I Fit EPDM Flat Roofs in South Kirkby
Initial Visit and Assessment
I inspect your current roof and measure everything accurately to ensure a perfect fit for the membrane.
Preparation and Strip-Off
Any old roofing is removed. I inspect the deck and replace any rotten timbers before installing the new system.
Single Sheet EPDM Application
I cut and fit a single sheet of 060 commercial-grade EPDM rubber, bonding it securely without any heat or open flames.
Finishing Touches
I install drip edges, trims, upstands and drainage details to leave a clean, sealed finish that lasts.
