What flat roof work do we do in Coatbridge?

EPDM rubber roofing

Where an older flat roof in Coatbridge has a sound structure but a tired covering, EPDM is a straightforward upgrade: strip, check the deck, add a warm-roof build-up if the room below is heated, and bond the new membrane. It also makes a good base for a sedum green roof.

Warm roof insulation upgrades

Landlords with flats and HMOs in Coatbridge sometimes hear from tenants about cold top-floor rooms and black mould on ceilings. A warm roof upgrade during re-roofing tackles both the heat loss and the condensation behind the mould, and helps keep the roof timbers dry.

Garage roofs

Many garages in Coatbridge still carry their original mineral felt, which may have been patched several times. Once the chippings have washed off and the laps have split, water gets under the felt and into the deck, and patches stop holding. At that stage a full replacement is the practical fix.
