What flat roof work do we do in Kilmarnock?
Green and sedum roofs
If you're replacing an old flat roof in Kilmarnock, it's worth deciding whether to add sedum at the same time. If the structure can take it, that is the ideal moment, because the waterproofing is new and the green layers won't need lifting for a long time.
Flat roof repairs
Small businesses in Kilmarnock with a flat-roofed shop, office or unit can't leave a leak running over stock or equipment. A repair stops the water at its entry point, and our inspection tells you whether the rest of the roof needs attention soon or can safely be left for now.
Warm roof insulation upgrades
Converting a garage, loft space or outbuilding to a room in Kilmarnock changes what the roof needs to do. Once the space is heated, the roof is expected to perform to a higher standard, and a warm build-up is usually the simplest way to get there.

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.
