Rubber Roofs
Rubber Roofs from Oakcrest Roofing
EPDM, short for ethylene propylene diene monomer, is a rubber membrane supplied in large sheets. On a typical extension or dormer it can be laid as one continuous piece, which removes the seams where many flat roofs eventually leak. It is bonded cold with adhesive, so no flame is needed, which makes it a good fit next to timber cladding or under windows.
Rubber stays flexible through frost and summer heat, so it copes well with the temperature swings that crack less elastic coverings. It needs a smooth, clean surface to bond to, so we usually fit new OSB or plywood boards first. Edges are finished with purpose-made trims, and corners and outlets are formed with matching pre-formed pieces rather than improvised patches.

Why choose us
Why homeowners choose Oakcrest for rubber roofs
A written price first
You get an itemised quote before any work starts, so you know what you are paying for and nothing changes once the scaffold is up.
Photos of what we find
We photograph the parts of the roof you cannot see from the ground, so you can judge the problem for yourself rather than take our word for it.
Repair or replace, honestly
If a repair will see the roof through, that is what we quote. When a roof is at the end of its life we tell you, so you can plan instead of paying twice.
Tidy sites, waste removed
Your garden, drive and windows are protected while we work, and every old tile, batten and offcut leaves with us at the end of the job.

Aerial inspections
Drone roof surveys
Our drone roof survey and aerial inspection service provides an instant, efficient and safe way to assess the condition of your roof. Using HD drones, we capture detailed images and videos of hard-to-reach areas, identifying potential issues like leaks, cracks, and structural damage.
This non-invasive method reduces risks and disruption and results in accurate data without the need for roof ladders or expensive scaffolding. Ideal for residential, commercial or industrial properties, this service ensures thorough, cost-effective inspections every time.
We advise that you get your roof professionally surveyed every 2-3 years to keep up with any potential damage and early signs of wear and tear. If we catch minor repairs early, they will not become a more serious problem in the future.
