What flat roof work do we do in Carnoustie?

Warm roof insulation upgrades

Kitchen extensions in Carnoustie, as elsewhere, produce a lot of moisture from cooking. Under a cold flat roof, that moisture can condense on the deck. A warm roof keeps the deck warm and puts a vapour control layer in the way, which lowers the risk considerably.

Torch-on felt roofing

Torch-on felt suits property owners in Carnoustie who want a dependable, layered roof without paying the top price per square metre. With two or three bonded layers, a single small defect in one sheet need not lead to a leak, which is a real advantage on larger roofs that are hard to inspect often.

EPDM rubber roofing

Rubber is a sensible pick in Carnoustie where a roof sits close to bedrooms or a kitchen and you would rather avoid hot works. It suits porches, bays and dormers too, where the small area means a single sheet can cover the whole roof with no joins at all.
