EPDM roofing installation can be tricky as it usually comes in one large sheet rather than individual tiles. While this creates a seamless barrier to repel water, it can make installation heavy going if you're covering a large surface area.

First your roof will be covered in adhesive, then the rubber will be rolled out to cover the surface. It then needs to be smoothed out to ensure it looks even.

To work out how much your rubber roofing will cost, you need to consider a range of factors that impact the total price. Some of the below variables will have a significant effect on how much you pay for rubber roofing. So, bear the following factors in mind before you set your budget:

• Type of rubber - While EPDM is the most commonly used rubber roofing, there are different options that’ll have different prices.

• Roof slope - If you choose to add a roof slope to improve drainage, this will cost extra.

• Size of roof - The larger your roof, the higher the cost of materials and labour.

• Condition of roof - If your roof is in poor condition, you may need to pay extra for repairs before rubber roofing can be installed.

• Insulation - Adding insulation will be charged at a premium.

• Location - Depending on where you live in the UK, labour costs will vary.

• Access - If your roof is difficult to access, this may increase your rubber roofing cost.
