What flat roof work do we do in Stewarton?
Balconies and roof terraces
Owners of flats in Stewarton sometimes find that a neighbour's balcony is leaking into their home. Where a balcony serves one flat but sits over another, the repair needs proper waterproofing and drainage, and a clear written specification helps everyone involved agree the work.
Flat roof surveys and leak tracing
Businesses in Stewarton with a flat-roofed building can't plan maintenance around guesswork. A survey sets out what needs doing now, what can wait and roughly what each item will cost, so the work can be scheduled with as little disruption as possible.
Single-ply membrane roofing
If a flat roof in Stewarton has poor falls and ponding, a single-ply re-roof with tapered insulation can correct both problems at once. The tapered boards build the fall into the insulation, and the membrane is laid over the top, with outlets set at the new low points.
