What flat roof work do we do in Ellon?
Balconies and roof terraces
Owners of flats in Ellon sometimes find that a neighbour's balcony is leaking into their home. Where a balcony serves one flat but sits over another, the repair needs proper waterproofing and drainage, and a clear written specification helps everyone involved agree the work.
Liquid-applied roofing
Where a building in Ellon has an older asphalt or concrete roof that is sound but tiring, a compatible liquid system can sometimes refresh it. The key is matching the primer and system to the substrate and dealing with any blisters, cracks or poor falls before the membrane goes on.
GRP fibreglass roofing
GRP is a good fit in Ellon for roofs with awkward shapes, short runs of upstand and lots of corners, because every detail is laminated in place rather than cut and glued. Where a sheet membrane would need many joins, fibreglass forms one continuous skin across the whole roof.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Ellon?
In a town like Ellon flat roofs are mostly on lock-up garage blocks on estates and 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches. Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. 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. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Who approves flat roof work in Ellon?
Where approval is needed it goes to Aberdeenshire Council building standards. In Scotland a building warrant is usually needed for alterations, structural work and new roofs; like-for-like repairs to a covering can be exempt. How the rules work.
