About Surbiton

Surbiton is a popular Victorian/Edwardian suburb with a distinctive identity — wide tree-lined streets of substantial family homes, with many original slate roofs, decorative ridgework and heritage features.

Common work: sympathetic re-slating, hand-crafted clay tile repairs, leadwork and chimney restoration. Often requires care to maintain Conservation Area standards where applicable.

What we offer in Surbiton

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)
