Sooner or later, conventional flat roofs will leak, due to the weathering on joints and their lack of flexibility with natural building movement.

One of the major selling points for EPDM rubber roofing is its' simple, heatless, environmentally friendly application.

As you can see here, we simply remove the old decking and rotten timbers, secure new 18mm OSB (unless otherwise specified) and then lay the waterproofing rubber over the top, which is glued to the decking.
