Roofing Installation

Do you have a showroom?

ETC Windows and GM Roofing are part of the Evesham Trade Home Improvements Supercentre- Our own Trade Centre where we supply home improvement materials to both trade and residential customers. 

We store a varied selection of products in preparation for our own installation teams along with materials for our trade customers. This allows us to be able to offer a selection of products for customers view.

Why should I choose EPDM Rubber roofing above other materials?

EPDM offers a long-lasting and low maintenance approach to domestic flat roofing. With a life expectancy of more than 50 years, RubberCover EPDM could outlive some types of projects, such as shed roofing.

Many homeowners must keep a close eye on felt roofs and ensure they are looked after and examined regularly for signs of damage. Common domestic felt is often tacked in place, which is not conducive to keeping water out, so as a result, many shed roofs need to be stripped back and replaced every few years.

EPDM delivers 100% waterproofing performance over its expected lifespan of over 50 years and requires little or no maintenance once correctly installed.

GM Roofing will only install EPDM Rubber roofing as we strongly believe that this is currently the best material available. However, our aim is to ensure a happy customer and should you feel that EPDM Rubber roofing is not for you, we are happy to help, advise and recommend alternative materials and installation companies.

Is any job too small?

GM Roofing will always be happy to discuss your requirements, no matter how small. Our friendly team are available to help and advise. In the event that our installation lead times are longer than you would like, we will be confident in recommending an alternative solution or roofing company.

How do I know when my roof needs maintenance or replacing?

Each installation is unique.When a roof shows signs of wear and tear, slipping / cracking tiles or is suffering many / major leaks, this can be a sign of a greater underlying problem and often requires re-roofing.

Do you work with or remove Asbestos?

GM Roofing do not work with or remove Asbestos in any form. We highly recommend that you consult the services of a licensed contractor, who is trained and certified to remove Asbestos in a safe manner that conforms to the industry standard regulations.

Do you offer a guarantee?

Yes, we offer a guarantee for both installations and remedial repairs. You guarantee may vary dependent upon the roofing work being undertaken. You guarantee will be confirmed at your initial survey.

Will grey windows go out of fashion?

Anthracite Grey windows have been so popular for so long that it seems unlikely they will ever go out of style.

It’s a great option if you want to keep your home looking stylish no matter what decade it’s in! They have a distinct appearance while remaining easy to live with on a daily basis – they are sophisticated and functional, and could even be described as mature.
