What flat roof work do we do in Haddington?
Liquid-applied roofing
Where a building in Haddington has an older asphalt or concrete roof that is sound but tiring, a compatible liquid system can sometimes refresh it. The key is matching the primer and system to the substrate and dealing with any blisters, cracks or poor falls before the membrane goes on.
Torch-on felt roofing
Torch-on is a good fit in Haddington when the budget matters but quality cannot slip. Modern polyester-reinforced membranes typically last 15 to 25 years, high-performance systems longer, and manufacturer material guarantees are available on many specified systems, registered where the system allows.
Green and sedum roofs
Rainwater from flat roofs in Haddington runs off quickly in heavy showers. A green roof holds some of that water back and releases it more slowly, which is one reason some owners and developers choose one. The flowering sedum also draws in bees and other insects.
