What flat roof work do we do in Wick?
Garage roofs
Water from a failing garage roof in Wick does not always stay in the garage. On an attached garage it can run down the house wall or track under the flashing, and a blocked or broken gutter can spill onto the drive or a neighbour's property. Replacing the roof deals with the source.
Commercial flat roofing
Safety planning matters on commercial sites in Wick. Every job is planned under CDM, with a method statement, edge protection and covers over rooflights and fragile areas. If asbestos is found, a licensed specialist surveys and removes it before our work starts, so nobody is put at risk.
Flats, HMOs and block roofs
Service charge budgets for blocks in Wick do not always stretch to a whole roof at once. We can phase a re-roof over more than one budget year, pricing each phase separately in writing and keeping every section watertight in between, so the building stays protected while the cost is spread.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Wick?
In a town like Wick flat roofs are mostly on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers and 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions. The climate is part of the brief. 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 Wick?
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.
