What flat roof work do we do in North Berwick?

Garage roofs

If your garage in North Berwick has an old cement sheet roof, it will eventually crack and let in water. Any suspected asbestos is tested and removed by a licensed specialist first, then the garage can be given new timbers, a deck and a modern membrane that should last for decades with sensible maintenance.

Liquid-applied roofing

If a flat roof in North Berwick is ageing but still dry, firmly bonded and on a sound deck, a reinforced liquid system can be applied over it. That avoids the cost and mess of a full strip-out, provided the moisture and adhesion checks at survey show the existing roof is fit to build on.

Flat roof repairs

Landlords and managing agents in North Berwick need a repair done properly once, rather than a quick fix that brings tenants back on the phone a month later. We trace the leak to its source and confirm the price in writing, so the repair can be approved and booked without guesswork.

In a town like North Berwick flat roofs are mostly on 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches and low-rise post-war blocks of flats. 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. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
