There has long been a situation in the trade where roofers can offer their customers a flat roofing repair service but without really knowing how likely it is that a homeowner will buy into the surface they recommend. All Round Roofing specialises in flat roof repairs. While we have a choice of materials available, like torch-on felt and GRP fibreglass, we much prefer to recommend EPDM rubber.
When we fit new fascias and soffits in Worthing and the West Sussex area, or when we take on gutter replacements, we recommend UPVC. Visit our testimonials page to hear what our clients think of our fantastic installations.
Remember that we offer combined roofing and building services which also include exterior painting and rooflight fitting.
As you can see, we have a level of confidence in our product choices that other roofers possibly don’t, and this is something that should instantly catch the attention of a prospective customer. Flat roofing is a specialist field, and we are amongst the most professional roofing companies working in the Worthing area. We want to make your own choices easy.
To achieve this, All Round Roofing offers a gutter replacement service where, if you need more than 10m in length or more, we’ll supply the materials for the job completely free of charge. This means you can replace your fascias and soffits at the same time for less cost, or you can use the money you save to put aside for roof repairs should you need them in the future.
EPDM is a synthetic rubber used for roof repairs and on flat roofing replacement projects. It is durable, heat resistant and weather resistant, with its components made up from oil and natural gas. We can use EPDM rubber on projects in Worthing with shallow-pitched roofing too.
EPDM is a one-piece system which is also perfect for:
The best flat roofing base for EPDM is either plywood or OSB sterling board. Our roofers recommend that you have your deck replaced if the old one is in a state of disrepair. While over-boarding is possible, the existing deck needs to be in near-perfect condition with no bitumen residues.
For roof repairs where we lay over an existing deck, it is more likely that we will recommend GRP fibreglass.
Once laid with the edges fitted, EPDM rubber lasts for up to 20 years and often more. It requires little in terms of maintenance, although we do recommend that you have our roofers at All Round Roofing inspect it annually just to make sure everything is as it should be. We also inspect the fascias and soffits, and we can further check to see if you need a gutter replacement.
Customers in Worthing who are looking to reroof a garden shed or an outbuilding, especially something older, may prefer to opt for torch-on felt. This is a low-cost alternative to EPDM rubber with an application system that is safer than using hot bitumen. The felt melts onto the deck using a blowtorch.
