Which flat roofs are common in Aberdeen City?

Local weather shapes the specification. Scotland averages roughly 1,570 mm of rain a year, with the west far wetter than the east, so drainage, falls and wind uplift are part of every specification we write. Across Aberdeen City, flat roofs are typically found on 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches, bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers and newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Which flat roof jobs do we take on in Aberdeen City?

Single-ply membrane roofing

Single-ply also works on an extension or garage in Aberdeen City if you want a light, clean finish in a pale colour. On small roofs it is usually adhered, and while it can cost more than EPDM, it gives the same welded seams and details found on commercial roofs.

Warm roof insulation upgrades

In a place like Aberdeen City, homeowners usually think about insulation when the roof covering is worn out. That is the right moment, because the thermal rules normally apply to a replacement over a heated room, and adding insulation then costs far less than doing it separately later.

Liquid-applied roofing

Liquid roofing suits a roof in Aberdeen City that is full of penetrations, such as soil pipes, vents, aerial brackets and rooflights, because the liquid flows around each one and cures into a single skin. There are no cut pieces or taped corners to work loose over time.

Building standards in Scotland

In Scotland the building standards technical handbooks (Section 6 for energy) apply, and the council's building standards service decides whether a building warrant is needed. Like-for-like repairs to a roof covering can be exempt; alterations, structural work and new roofs usually need a warrant before work starts. The domestic roof benchmark is 0.12 W/m²K, applied as far as reasonably practicable on an existing roof. More on the rules.
