Ongoing maintenance

Although EPDM rubber roofing is incredibly durable, we still recommend some maintenance to help protect and prolong its life. Occasionally cleaning the roof and removing any items helps protect the surface. Stones, leaves and other items should be swept away and if there has been any extreme weather, it may be necessary to clean off debris from trees including fallen branches. We can advise further on how to maintain your roof to ensure your property is fully protected.
