What flat roof work do we do in Wishaw?
Single-ply membrane roofing
On exposed sites in Wishaw and elsewhere, mechanically fixed single-ply is specified with a fixing pattern based on wind uplift, with extra fasteners at corners and edges. That makes it a strong option for commercial roofs where wind loads are a concern.
Commercial flat roofing
When a roof over heated space in Wishaw 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 building is better insulated afterwards.
Green and sedum roofs
In a place like Wishaw, 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.
