Rubber Roofing Direct

Rubber Roofing Direct, EPDM waterproofing supplier in Surrey

Rubber Roofing Direct Ltd is a British company specialising in the sale of EPDM rubber membranes and waterproofing systems for flat and low-pitch roofs. The company presents itself as a leading UK supplier for both industry professionals and DIY enthusiasts tackling the repair or replacement of shed, garage and flat roofs. Its catalogue includes EPDM membranes, adhesives and sealants, flashing and seam tapes, edge trims, complete kits, tools, rooflights and pond liners.

Waterproofing products and systems

The range is organised into several families. The main line is one-piece EPDM membranes, available in thicknesses such as 1.20 mm and 1.52 mm, with a fleece-backed membrane option. For sheds and auxiliary structures there is a specific shed rubber range, with adapted membranes, adhesives, sealants and edge trims. Flat roof kits bring together the materials needed for installation. Adhesives such as water-based deck adhesive for fleece-backed boards and contact adhesive are also sold, as well as raised kerb trims and external corner profiles from the Premium Integra Trim range with a matte finish.

Own brand FlexiProof

Rubber Roofing Direct is the only waterproofing supplier with its own brand, FlexiProof. The company states that it buys in volume and passes the savings on to the customer without compromising on quality. Under this brand are grouped the one-piece and fleece-backed EPDM membranes, as well as the shed products.

Advantages of EPDM according to the supplier

The material is presented as resistant to British weather conditions: it does not crack or split in high or low temperatures or with direct sunlight exposure, and it is hostile to moss and algae, which simplifies maintenance. Installation is described as straightforward, as the membrane is rolled out over the surface and covers large areas quickly compared with other systems. The company states that the product has an estimated life expectancy of over 50 years and offers a 25-year guarantee on the membrane through a certified installer.

Services for professionals and DIY customers

The company serves both professional roofers who buy materials regularly and DIY enthusiasts. It has a roof calculator that, based on measurements and edge type, generates a materials list that can be added to the basket with one click. For the trade sector it offers contractor prices by opening a trade account. It also provides free online training and structured in-person courses, with industry-recognised certification upon completion. The company states it has over 75,000 satisfied customers.

Logistics and customer service

Orders placed before 14:00 are dispatched the same day, provided the products are in stock. The company states it offers easy returns and expert advice from professional roofers. Its 20,000 square foot warehouse (around 1,858 m²) houses a wide range of materials and tools, even for flat roofs over 10,000 m². The head office and warehouse are located at Rugge Farm, Horsham Road, Beare Green, Dorking, Surrey.
