Want an EPDM rubber roof installed in Skipton?
Flat roof installations, repairs and replacements at the gateway to the Dales
Contact Us
Skipton wears its ‘Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales’ title honestly - a 900-year-old castle at the top of the High Street, narrowboats moored along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, and stone terraces and cottages threading between the two. Being this close to the Pennines has a price, though: Skipton catches more rain than most Yorkshire towns, and the flat roofs on its extensions, dormers and canal-side buildings feel every drop.
EPDM is built for that kind of punishment. The synthetic rubber goes down as one continuous sheet with no joints to fail, sheds heavy rain without absorbing any of it, and keeps flexing through Pennine frosts that turn old felt brittle. From terraces below the castle to garages on the newer estates, roofers fit EPDM designed to last up to 40 years.

EPDM Roofing Benefits in Skipton
Quick Installation Windows
With Skipton’s weather, speed matters. Most EPDM roofs here are stripped and fitted in a day or two, keeping the time your deck spends open to the sky to a minimum.
Low Cost Per Year of Service
EPDM’s combination of modest installation price and multi-decade lifespan makes it one of the best-value flat roofs going - especially in a town where felt roofs wear out fast.
Free, No-Obligation Assessments
A roofer visits your Skipton property, checks the existing roof and its timber deck, and gives you a clear written price. You decide when you’re ready - no chasing, no pressure.
Up to 40 Years Watertight
A properly bonded EPDM membrane can serve for four decades. On a stone terrace near the castle or a canal-side conversion, that’s a roof fitted once and trusted for a generation.
Proven Against Pennine Weather
Persistent rain, wind funnelling down Airedale, hard winter frost - EPDM resists them all. The rubber is UV stable and stays supple in the cold, whatever rolls in off the Dales.

EPDM Roofs in Skipton: Your Questions Answered
Do you install EPDM roofs on Skipton’s older stone properties?+
Yes. Many of Skipton’s stone terraces and cottages have flat-roofed rear extensions, dormers or outriggers, and EPDM is light enough to go onto their existing timber decks without structural alterations. The plain black membrane tucks away discreetly behind parapets and stonework.
Skipton gets a lot of rain - is EPDM up to it?+
It’s one of the best materials for a wet town. EPDM is completely waterproof, absorbs nothing, and is installed as one sheet with no seams for water to find. With drainage falls set correctly, it stays watertight through the heaviest Pennine downpours.
What happens during an EPDM installation?+
The old covering is stripped and the timber deck inspected, with any soft boards replaced. The EPDM membrane is then cut to size, bonded to the deck as a single sheet, and finished with edge trims and upstands. Most domestic jobs are complete within one to two days.
