Which option fits your home?

EPDM rubber roof

A single sheet of synthetic rubber bonded to the deck, often in one piece with no joints on smaller roofs. EPDM handles temperature changes well, is quick to lay and needs little maintenance. It's a good all-round choice for garages and extensions, though it has a plain black finish and needs care around complex details.

Roof lights and outlets

Flat roof lanterns and flat glass roof lights can be fitted or replaced at the same time as a new roof. Outlets, gutters and edge trims are renewed so water runs away cleanly. Getting the fall right during the deck replacement is the best way to stop water pooling, which shortens a roof's life.
