What flat roof work do we do in Inverness?
EPDM rubber roofing
For landlords with property in Inverness, EPDM's low upkeep is the main draw: once the outlets are kept clear and the trims are checked once or twice a year, there is little else to do. It also goes down quickly on a small roof, which keeps disruption for tenants to a minimum.
Emergency leak repairs
Businesses in Inverness can't trade properly with water dripping onto the shop floor or into an office. An emergency visit makes the roof temporarily weathertight, and the inspection that follows tells you whether a repair will hold or the roof needs replacing.
Green and sedum roofs
In a place like Inverness, many people look out over a flat extension or garage roof from upstairs. Grey felt or rubber isn't much of a view, and a sedum roof turns it into something green that changes colour through the seasons and flowers in summer.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Inverness?
In a town like Inverness flat roofs are mostly on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers and lock-up garage blocks on estates. 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. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Who approves flat roof work in Inverness?
Where approval is needed it goes to The Highland Council building standards. In Scotland a building warrant is usually needed for alterations, structural work and new roofs; like-for-like repairs to a covering can be exempt. How the rules work.
