What flat roof work do we do in Nigg?
Commercial flat roofing
We are flat roof specialists, so a commercial roof in Nigg gets a system chosen for the job: single-ply for large, simple areas, built-up felt where there is foot traffic and plant, or a liquid overlay where the existing roof is sound. The survey explains the trade-offs in plain terms.
Flat roof surveys and leak tracing
Landlords and managing agents in Nigg often need a written record of a roof's condition, for budgeting, for leaseholders, or to show a problem has been looked at properly. A survey report gives them a clear basis for deciding when to repair and when to replace.
Dormer roofs
Dormer roofs in Nigg are often replaced when the loft room below starts to show damp, particularly along the back wall or around the window head. By then the deck may be wet, so a full rebuild with new insulation is usually the better choice than patching from a ladder.
