What is the EPDM Roofing Installation Process?

The EPDM roofing installation process begins with a roof inspection and surface preparation to assess structural integrity and insulation needs. The next step involves selecting the appropriate EPDM system, whether fully adhered, mechanically fastened, or ballasted.

The roof surface is then cleaned and primed to ensure optimal adhesion before the EPDM membrane is rolled out and secured. The seams are sealed with adhesive or heat-welded, and flashing is installed around roof penetrations to prevent leaks.

The final step includes a thorough inspection and quality assurance check to ensure compliance with industry standards and warranty requirements.

How Much Does EPDM Roofing Cost?

EPDM roofing costs range from £50 to £100 per m², with prices varying based on membrane thickness, installation method, and insulation upgrades.

Fully adhered systems tend to be more expensive in due to the use of adhesives and enhanced wind resistance, whereas ballasted systems are typically more affordable in but require additional weight-bearing support.

Additional costs may include drainage improvements, protective coatings, or insulation upgrades in , which can enhance energy efficiency and longevity.
