What flat roof work do we do in Camden?

EPDM rubber roofing

Choose EPDM in Camden if you want a long service life without paying for a hard, walkable finish you do not need. With good detailing it typically lasts 25 years or more, and manufacturer material guarantees are available on many EPDM systems, registered for you where the system allows.

Garage roofs

If your garage in Camden has an old cement sheet roof, it will eventually crack and let in water. Any suspected asbestos is tested and removed by a licensed specialist first, then the garage can be given new timbers, a deck and a modern membrane that should last for decades with sensible maintenance.

Single-ply membrane roofing

Single-ply is a common choice for medium and large flat roofs in Camden because it covers big areas quickly, is light on the structure and has a long typical life. Wide rolls mean fewer seams, and those seams are welded and probed rather than glued.

Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. The Thames basin is one of the drier parts of Britain at roughly 730 mm of rain a year, but summer heat is the bigger test here: dark membranes on south-facing roofs swing a long way in temperature.
