What flat roof work do we do in Inverurie?

Green and sedum roofs

Rainwater from flat roofs in Inverurie runs off quickly in heavy showers. A green roof holds some of that water back and releases it more slowly, which is one reason some owners and developers choose one. The flowering sedum also draws in bees and other insects.

Garage roofs

Water from a failing garage roof in Inverurie 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

For a garage or extension in Inverurie that doubles as a step-out space for window cleaning, GRP gives a firmer footing than a rubber membrane. With an anti-slip topcoat it handles light, occasional use, though a full terrace needs its own specification and, in many cases, planning permission.
