EPDM Rubber Dorma Flat Replacement Roof Chorley
Project Overview
R&R Roofing recently completed a dormer flat roof replacement for a customer in Chorley. The property had an old felt-covered dormer roof that had deteriorated over time and was ready to be replaced with a more modern and durable roofing system. After assessing the existing roof, we recommended replacing the old felt covering with a new EPDM rubber flat roof, providing the customer with a reliable, low-maintenance and weather-resistant solution.
The Challenge
Traditional felt flat roofs can deteriorate over time due to constant exposure to rain, sunlight and changing temperatures. As the material ages, it can become vulnerable to cracking, lifting and water ingress. The customer wanted to replace their ageing felt dormer roof with a modern system that offered improved durability and reduced the risk of future leaks.
Our Solution
OOur experienced roofing team removed the old felt roofing and carefully prepared the dormer roof ready for the new system. We then installed a high-quality EPDM rubber roofing membrane. One of the main advantages of EPDM for a roof of this type is that the membrane can be installed in one continuous piece, avoiding unnecessary joins or seams across the main roof area. This creates a clean, watertight finish and reduces potential weak points where water could otherwise penetrate the roofing system. The edges and details were professionally finished to ensure the entire dormer roof was properly protected from the elements.
The Result
The old felt roof has now been replaced with a smart, modern EPDM rubber roofing system that provides excellent weather protection and a clean finish. With the main membrane installed as one continuous piece, the customer benefits from a seamless roof covering with fewer potential points for water ingress. The new roof also requires minimal maintenance, making it an excellent long-term solution for the dormer. The customer can now enjoy greater peace of mind knowing their dormer roof is properly protected against the British weather.
Why Choose a Dry Verge System?
EPDM is a popular solution for flat and low-pitched roofs due to its durability, flexibility and excellent resistance to weathering. Where the dimensions of the roof allow, the membrane can be fitted as a single sheet, minimising seams across the main roof surface. It can be particularly suitable for dormer roofs, extensions, garages and other smaller flat roof areas where homeowners want a durable alternative to traditional felt roofing.
