What flat roof work do we do in Brechin?
Dormer roofs
Buyers' surveys in Brechin often flag dormer roofs, because they are hard to see from the ground and easy to neglect. A recent replacement, with building warrant completion where needed and written guarantees, answers that question before it becomes a problem in the sale.
GRP fibreglass roofing
GRP is a good choice in Brechin 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.
Flat roof replacement
Selling or letting a property in Brechin can also prompt a replacement. A buyer's surveyor will usually flag a flat roof near the end of its life, and a recent replacement with written workmanship and material guarantees answers that question before it turns into a negotiation point.
