What flat roof work do we do in Fraserburgh?

Flat roof repairs

Landlords and managing agents in Fraserburgh need a repair done properly once, rather than a quick fix that brings tenants back on the phone a month later. We trace the leak to its source and confirm the price in writing, so the repair can be approved and booked without guesswork.

Garage roofs

Water from a failing garage roof in Fraserburgh does not always stay in the garage. On an attached garage it can run down the house wall or track under the flashing, and a blocked or broken gutter can spill onto the drive or a neighbour's property. Replacing the roof deals with the source.

GRP fibreglass roofing

GRP is a good choice in Fraserburgh when the roof will be seen or used: a dormer visible from the street, an extension overlooked by upstairs windows, or a roof that needs access for cleaning or maintenance. The hard, jointless finish and moulded trims give a neat result that copes with occasional foot traffic.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Fraserburgh?

In a town like Fraserburgh flat roofs are mostly on 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches and shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats. 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. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
