Which flat roofs are common in East Dunbartonshire?

Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. 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. Across East Dunbartonshire, flat roofs are typically found on lock-up garage blocks on estates, low-rise post-war blocks of flats and shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Which flat roof jobs do we take on in East Dunbartonshire?

Balconies and roof terraces

Owners of flats in East Dunbartonshire 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.

Extension and kitchen roofs

Extension roofs in East Dunbartonshire are often replaced because the original was built cheaply: thin chipboard decks, little or no insulation and felt turned up the wall without a proper flashing. Twenty or thirty years on, those weaknesses show up as leaks at the back wall and a cold, damp ceiling.

Flat roof repairs

In a place like East Dunbartonshire, flat roofs usually sit over garages, rear extensions, dormers and bays, and they take the full force of the weather with little margin for error. A single failed lap or a cracked upstand is enough to let water into a kitchen, bedroom or hallway below.

Building standards in Scotland

In Scotland the building standards technical handbooks (Section 6 for energy) apply, and the council's building standards service decides whether a building warrant is needed. Like-for-like repairs to a roof covering can be exempt; alterations, structural work and new roofs usually need a warrant before work starts. The domestic roof benchmark is 0.12 W/m²K, applied as far as reasonably practicable on an existing roof. More on the rules.
