Which flat roofs are common in North Lanarkshire?

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. Across North Lanarkshire, flat roofs are typically found on 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions, shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats and newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Which flat roof jobs do we take on in North Lanarkshire?

Flats, HMOs and block roofs

When a roof over heated flats in North Lanarkshire is replaced, insulation rules usually apply. We design the warm-roof build-up towards the required standard where that is feasible and handle building standards where it is needed, so the work is signed off properly and the top-floor flats are better insulated.

Warm roof insulation upgrades

Small commercial buildings in North Lanarkshire with large flat roofs can lose a lot of heat through them. Where the roof is being replaced, upgrading the insulation at the same time is required in most cases and helps reduce running costs for the occupier.

Garage roofs

Garage roofs in North Lanarkshire are often replaced when the deck gives way. Chipboard decks swell and soften once they get wet, and you may see sagging between joists or feel the roof flex underfoot. Replacing the deck and covering together is usually more economical than repeated repairs.

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.
