Here as an interesting job that we completed recently where an existing canopy was showing signs of excessive rot and wasn’t in a good way. The existing felt was very patchy and in places was back down to the existing timber. Next door had already installed EPDM but because of their installation it left us quite restricted in our options.

Our first job was to strip everything back and replace anything showing signs of rot.

The existing EPDM next door hadn’t been finished properly and wasn’t stuck down on the end which certainly wasn’t helping matters.

Once everything was stripped back we were able to put a new timber on the front for our fascia to fasten to and a brand new deck over the top of the old deck - also adding angle bead to help give a neat finish when the new EPDM went down.

The new EPDM went down well with a fully adhered installation which was slower but ultimately the right choice - the weather was truly on our side which helped no end, each glue needs time to cure somewhat before proceeding with installation and if you’re rushing against the weather this increases the risk of bubbles forming under the EPDM which although usually go down over time, are unsightly for the short term. We glued next doors EPDM down and made the best of jointing up to their EPDM.

Finally, new PVCu Fascia Board and Soffits were installed with all the necessary trims and tapes to complete the job the right way. We will always tend to work our diary so that we’re able to make the most of good weather. The time we were able to commit to the job and fortunate weather were key to this installation looking great for years to come.
