At Abingdon Felt Roofing, we’ve built our reputation on the quality of our felt installation and repair services. In fact, we are one of the very few remaining local roofers in our area who not only use felt on pitched and flat roofs but also go a long way toward pointing out its benefits. While felt systems can crack in direct sunlight, the IKO TGX roofing membranes we use have a lifespan of up to 15 years.
Some homeowners in the Abingdon, Banbury, Bicester, Carterton, Didcot, Kidlington, Oxford, Wantage, Witney and Oxfordshire areas prefer flat roofing repairs using EPDM.
EPDM rubber is a modern alternative to felt, often used on flat roofs for its durability and seamless, watertight coverage. First used in the USA at the start of the 1960s, where the weather is much warmer, EPDM has only recently overtaken felt in use in the UK. At Abingdon Felt Roofing, we undertake EPDM installations and flat roof repairs using premium Firestone RubberCover™.

Our local roofers believe that EPDM's strength and ease of installation make it ideal for new construction. It is also ideal for flat roofing repair and refurbishment work. Felt still has a range of major benefits for some jobs. However, as a more universal system, EPDM offers a level of diversity that even modern equivalents, such as GRP fibreglass, fail to match.
The benefits of EPDM rubber include:
We use Firestone RubberCover™ for flat roof repairs because our Abingdon, Banbury, Bicester, Carterton, Didcot, Kidlington, Oxford, Wantage, Witney, and Oxfordshire customers deserve the best. Our decision to lay only market-leading EPDM says everything about the ethos at Abingdon Felt Roofing and the credibility of our time-served local roofers. Once in place, the Firestone RubberCover™ system has 67% fewer joins than a felt roof.
With no heating or welding needed to lay EPDM, we can install rubber flat roofing quickly, safely and affordably.
Firestone RubberCover™ is a flame-resistant material with an excellent safety rating. Keep your property protected against potential damage and enjoy a lasting installation that won’t need recoating in a year or two. EPDM has made flat roofing repairs faster, safer and simpler, so, pound for pound, it is just as cost-effective as felt, bitumen, and GRP fibreglass.
