About Old Malden
Old Malden is a quiet residential pocket on the way to Worcester Park. Mostly 1930s semis with some bungalows. Standard roofing work.
What we offer in Old Malden
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a synthetic rubber membrane that's become the gold standard for flat roofs across the UK. A single sheet, fully adhered or mechanically fixed, with no seams in the field of the roof.
What is EPDM?
A synthetic rubber membrane manufactured in large sheets (up to 15m wide and 30m+ long). Most residential installations are done in a single sheet — no field seams at all.
The rubber is highly flexible (-40°C to 150°C operating range), UV-stable, and chemically inert. It doesn't pollute rainwater runoff, which is increasingly important for sustainable drainage.
Why we recommend EPDM
- 50+ year lifespan — outlasts felt and GRP by decades
- Seamless single sheet — no joins to fail in the field
- Flexible — handles building movement without cracking
- Recyclable — sustainable end-of-life option
- Quick install — most residential roofs done in 1-2 days
- Cost-effective long-term — though higher upfront than felt, lower lifetime cost
Where EPDM works
- House extensions and dormers
- Garage roofs
- Porches and bay windows
- Garden offices and outbuildings
- Most residential flat roofs with adequate falls (minimum 1:80)
Where EPDM isn't ideal
- Walkable surfaces (use GRP instead)
- Roofs with heavy foot traffic
- Roofs that need to be very low pitch (under 1:80 fall)
- Bitumen/asphalt surfaces (EPDM degrades on contact — we use a separation layer)
Installation process
- Strip existing roof covering
- Inspect and repair deck (OSB or plywood, 18mm minimum)
- Install insulation to current Building Regulations (Part L)
- Lay EPDM membrane — fully adhered with bonding adhesive
- Form upstands at walls, parapets, roof windows
- Install edge trims and termination bars
- Water test (flood test for 24 hours)
- Register manufacturer warranty
Warranties
- Material warranty: 20-25 years (standard manufacturer)
- Expected service life: 50+ years
- Workmanship warranty: 10 years from us
