Description
The MD slope roof flashing seals the gap where your fireplace flue leaves the roof, which is the most likely place for a leak in a Cape winter. It is made from EPDM, a synthetic rubber that stays flexible and does not break down in strong sun.

Where to use it
This EPDM roof flashing suits most sloped roofs in Cape Town homes. The cone is cut to the flue size, slid down over the pipe and the soft base is shaped to the roof profile, then sealed and fixed. It is our standard fireplace flue flashing for insulated flue runs. Find other sizes in our roof flashing range or the wider flues and accessories section.
Fitting by our team
A good flue flashing only works if it is fitted properly. A badly shaped base or the wrong sealant lets water track under the tiles and into your ceiling, often long before you notice a stain. Our team installs flashings as part of a full flue job, with the right cowl and height for wind. See our flue installation in Cape Town service.
EPDM Flashing FAQs
Will EPDM flashing work on a non-insulated flue?
This EPDM version is meant for insulated flues, where the outer skin stays cooler. For hot single-skin flues, a silicone flashing with a higher heat rating is the safer choice.
