EPDM flat roof replacement, Edwardian terrace in Hoole
The rear extension on this Hoole terrace had a layered felt flat roof that was patched five times in eight years. Owner was tired of the cycle. We surveyed the timber deck after stripping the old felt and confirmed two ply boards needed replacement near the gutter run where water had been sitting. Once the deck was sound, we laid Firestone EPDM rubber single-membrane bonded with manufacturer adhesive, dressed up the parapet wall and into a new lead chase. The fall to the gutter was corrected by adding a 1:80 firring set under the new ply, which fixed the original ponding issue that drove most of the failures. Job ran two days from strip to seal. The Firestone EPDM carries a 20-year manufacturer guarantee and our 10-year workmanship guarantee runs alongside.
