Firestone rubber roofing, also known as EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), has become one of the most popular and reliable flat roofing solutions across the UK. Known for its exceptional durability, flexibility, and weather resistance, Firestone EPDM is ideal for domestic extensions, garages, garden rooms, dormers, porches, and commercial buildings. As a single-ply roofing membrane, it offers a sleek, seamless finish with a lifespan of over 50 years when installed professionally.
Unlike traditional felt or asphalt systems, Firestone rubber roofing is laid in a single sheet with minimal joins, significantly reducing the risk of leaks. It is also fully resistant to UV radiation, ozone, and extreme temperature fluctuations — making it perfectly suited to the British climate. From torrential rain to summer heatwaves and icy winters, Firestone EPDM performs consistently year-round without cracking, splitting, or blistering.
One of the key benefits of Firestone roofing is its flexibility. The membrane remains elastic even in freezing conditions, allowing it to move naturally with the structure of your building. This is particularly useful for roofs with timber substrates or properties that experience thermal expansion and contraction. It can also be installed over various surfaces, including concrete, timber, and insulation boards, with or without adhesives depending on the specification.
Firestone EPDM is also an eco-conscious choice. It’s manufactured with minimal environmental impact, is fully recyclable at the end of its service life, and contributes to the thermal efficiency of your building. Its dark colour helps absorb heat in colder months, reducing the need for additional heating, while optional insulation layers can be added beneath for even greater energy efficiency.
Our Firestone rubber roofing installations are carried out by fully trained and certified fitters using official Firestone-approved materials. We begin with a full inspection and preparation of the roof deck to ensure a smooth, clean base. The EPDM membrane is then measured and cut to size, avoiding unnecessary seams and overlaps. The result is a watertight, low-maintenance roof with a clean, modern appearance that adds value to your property.
We also offer Firestone repair services for older or damaged rubber roofs, including patching, edge sealing, and drain integration. Although EPDM is highly durable, small tears or punctures can occur from falling debris or sharp objects. Our team can diagnose issues quickly and restore your rubber roof to full working condition using compatible Firestone products for a seamless finish.
Firestone rubber roofing is trusted by homeowners and commercial property managers alike for its proven performance and value for money. Unlike felt roofs that may require regular patching or early replacement, EPDM offers peace of mind with minimal upkeep. It resists moss and algae growth, does not require regular re-coating, and stays bonded for decades.
