🛒 HOW TO ORDER — 3 EASY STEPS
- Select Your Width from the dropdown (20 standard widths from 0.53m to 15.24m)
-
Enter the Length you need in the Quantity box — each unit = 1 linear metre
Example: For a 4m long roof, set Quantity to 4 - Add to Cart — we cut your sheet to exact size and dispatch within 24 hours
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always add 150mm (15cm) to each edge when measuring to allow for overlap, trimming, and upstand into trims.
✅ WHY 1.5MM IS THE SMART CHOICE (NOT 1.2MM)
Our 1.5mm EPDM membrane is 30% thicker than standard 1.2mm membrane, giving you significantly better tear resistance, longer service life, and superior performance on uneven surfaces. While 1.2mm is suitable for sheds and garden buildings, 1.5mm is the professional commercial-grade specification trusted by roofers nationwide for extensions, garages, balconies, and commercial flat roofs.

Frequently Asked Questions
EPDM rubber roofing membranes, kits and accessories - straight answers from the Rubber Roof UK team.
How long does a 1.5mm EPDM roof last?
Our 1.5mm EPDM membrane carries a proven 50+ year service life, easily outlasting traditional felt roofs which typically need replacing after 10-15 years.
Why choose 1.5mm instead of 1.2mm EPDM?
1.5mm (actual thickness 1.52mm) is around 30% thicker than standard 1.2mm membrane, giving noticeably better tear resistance and longer service life. It's the commercial-grade specification preferred for extensions, garages, balconies and commercial flat roofs, whereas 1.2mm is more suited to sheds and garden buildings.
What widths and sizes are available?
The membrane is supplied in 20 standard widths from 0.53m up to 15.24m, cut to your exact length up to a maximum of 30.5m, as a single piece with no on-site joins.
How much extra membrane should I order?
Always add 150mm (15cm) to each edge of your measured roof dimensions to allow for overlap, trimming and upstand into the edge trims.
Is this membrane BBA certified?
Yes, it holds BBA Certificate No. 11/4853, meaning it has been independently tested and certified to UK building standards.
What colour is the membrane and what is it made from?
It's 100% EPDM rubber (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) in a professional slate grey finish, weighing approximately 1.85kg/m².
Can I walk on the finished roof?
Yes, it's suitable for occasional maintenance foot traffic. If the roof will see regular foot traffic, we recommend adding dedicated EPDM walkway pads for extra protection.
Does it need heat or flames to install?
No. This is a cold-applied system bonded with EPDM contact adhesive - no torches or flames are required, making it safer and suitable for confident DIY installers as well as trade professionals.
Do you supply the adhesive, trims and tools needed?
Yes, we stock the complete EPDM system including contact adhesive, water-based deck adhesive, edge trims, primer and seam tape, so you can order everything for your project in one place.
Can it be installed in cold weather?
The membrane itself performs reliably between -40°C and +120°C, though the adhesive used to bond it cures best above 5°C. Our team can advise on best practice for cold-weather installation.
What projects is 1.5mm EPDM suitable for?
It's ideal for house extensions, conservatories, garage roofs, garden offices, dormer windows, balconies, porches, orangeries, commercial flat roofs and carports - anywhere a durable one-piece waterproof covering is needed.
What if I order the wrong size?
Each piece is cut bespoke to your order, so please measure carefully and remember to add the recommended 150mm to each edge. Call our team before ordering if you're at all unsure.
