EPDM rubber roofing and flat roofs in Rochdale
Lots of Rochdale homeowners come to us after searching for EPDM rubber roofing in Rochdale or 'Firestone rubber'. They're usually dealing with an old felt roof on a garage or extension that has cracked, blistered or started leaking. EPDM, a single-sheet synthetic rubber membrane, is a popular replacement, and we fit it alongside GRP fibreglass and torch-on felt.
Whatever the covering, a flat roof in a wet town lives or dies on its fall and its detailing. We make sure water runs off, and that edges, walls and outlets are sealed properly.

Flat roofs in Rochdale
Rochdale's terraces often have flat-roofed rear extensions and outriggers, and the inter-war semis and post-war estates have plenty of flat-roofed garages, porches and dormers. Many of these were covered in felt years ago and are now failing. In a town that gets this much rain, standing water and tired felt don't last long, which is why so many people are switching to rubber.
We install and repair flat roofs across OL11, OL12 and OL16, including Castleton, Norden, Milnrow, Littleborough, Heywood and Wardle. From our Manchester base it's around 9 miles to Rochdale, which keeps call-outs straightforward.
Our rubber roofing process
We strip the old covering and check the deck, replacing rotten or soft boards. If the roof has too little fall, we add firrings so rain drains to the gutter. Insulation can be added at this stage.
The EPDM membrane is then laid and bonded, with trims and upstands finished neatly. Most garage and extension roofs are completed quickly, weather permitting. Call 0800 046 1159 for a free survey.
Rubber roofing questions in Rochdale
What's the difference between EPDM and Firestone rubber?
Firestone is a brand name that many people use for EPDM rubber roofing in general. EPDM is the material itself: a synthetic rubber membrane used on flat roofs. We fit EPDM and can explain the membrane we'd use on your roof.
Why choose EPDM for a garage in Rochdale?
EPDM is laid in a single sheet where possible, so there are very few joints for rain to find. It copes well with frost and temperature changes, which suits Rochdale's climate. It's a popular choice for garages and extensions.
Can EPDM be laid on top of my old felt roof?
We recommend stripping the old felt so we can check the deck beneath. Laying over a wet or rotten deck traps problems. A sound base gives the new roof the best chance of lasting.
Is GRP better than rubber?
Neither is better in every case. EPDM suits simple shapes; GRP suits roofs with lots of corners or where you might walk on the surface. We'll recommend what fits your roof.
Can a flat roof be insulated during replacement?
Yes. Adding insulation above the deck creates a warm roof and helps the room below stay comfortable. It raises the roof slightly, so we check details around windows and doors first.
Can you repair a flat roof rather than replace it?
If the damage is local and the rest of the roof is sound, a repair can work well. If it's failing all over or the deck is soft, replacement is better value. We'll tell you honestly.
