EPDM rubber roofing

[gort]

Double garage roof (size roughly 5mx6m) was installed as a bodge job by some previous house owner (don't know how long ago) and it needs replacing after warping and leaking from poorly supported roof / missing joists.

Anyway, had a quote for EPDM rubber roof (one piece) laid over plywood base and joists re-fitted correctly for £1000 all-in (around £30m².) That's South East prices. Don't know what thickness or brand though.

Anyone had much dealings with such material? Was told a corrugated metal roof was cheaper but wouldn't last as long. I'd prefer the look of the black roof I think anyway.

I'm waiting to hear back from other roof fitters for quotes, so in the meantime would chuck this post on here!

Ta for that.

Just had a quick look into the fibreglass roofing and it appears that it's more expensive than EPDM rubber, it does look neat though.
If I was doing a building that was attached to the house (like a 1 level flat roof extension) then I'd seriously consider the fibreglass.
As it's a garage at the end of the garden, the EPDM will be fine I think.

It will come with a 20 year warranty and the roofer said he has worked with it a lot and appears to know what he's talking about ( and he picked up all the bodged parts of the roof construction straight off.)
