EPDM Flooring

Wet-pour is mixed and trowelled on site. It produces a completely seamless surface that can follow curves, ramps and irregular shapes, and it takes inlaid colour graphics — play grids, logos, lane markings — laid into the surface rather than painted on top.

Tiles are faster, need no curing time on site and are easy to patch or lift. Where access is tight or the programme is short, tiles usually win.

EPDM colour runs through the granule rather than sitting on the surface as a coating. Wear takes material away but does not expose a different colour underneath, so an EPDM surface ages evenly instead of going patchy.

This is the practical difference between EPDM and painted or coated alternatives, and it is why it is worth the extra cost on anything permanently exposed to sun.

EPDM is a wearing surface, not a structural layer. It can be laid over sound concrete or a compacted aggregate sub-base, but the base has to be level, stable and free-draining with no rising damp.

We survey the existing base first. If it is cracked, holds water or is moving, we will tell you what remedial work is needed before quoting the surfacing — and we would rather lose the job than lay over a base that will fail.
