What flat roof work do we do in Perth?
EPDM rubber roofing
Choose EPDM in Perth if you want a long service life without paying for a hard, walkable finish you do not need. With good detailing it typically lasts 25 years or more, and manufacturer material guarantees are available on many EPDM systems, registered for you where the system allows.
Green and sedum roofs
Rainwater from flat roofs in Perth runs off quickly in heavy showers. A green roof holds some of that water back and releases it more slowly, which is one reason some owners and developers choose one. The flowering sedum also draws in bees and other insects.
Dormer roofs
High, exposed dormers in Perth take the full force of the wind and rain. Edge trims loosen, flashings lift and the felt at the drip edge cracks. Once the faults spread around the perimeter, a new roof with fresh trims usually lasts far longer than another round of repairs.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Perth?
In a town like Perth flat roofs are mostly on low-rise post-war blocks of flats and shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats. 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 Perth?
Where approval is needed it goes to Perth and Kinross 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.
