Which flat roofs are common in Glasgow City?

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 Glasgow City, flat roofs are typically found on low-rise post-war blocks of flats, lock-up garage blocks on estates and terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Which flat roof jobs do we take on in Glasgow City?

Torch-on felt roofing

Torch-on felt suits property owners in Glasgow City who want a dependable, layered roof without paying the top price per square metre. With two or three bonded layers, a single small defect in one sheet need not lead to a leak, which is a real advantage on larger roofs that are hard to inspect often.

Liquid-applied roofing

Liquid roofing suits a roof in Glasgow City that is full of penetrations, such as soil pipes, vents, aerial brackets and rooflights, because the liquid flows around each one and cures into a single skin. There are no cut pieces or taped corners to work loose over time.

Garage roofs

A garage in Glasgow City that is becoming a workshop, gym or home office is a good reason to replace its roof. That is the moment to think about insulation and a warm-roof build-up, so the roof does not have to be stripped again when the space is heated.

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.
