Which flat roofs are common in Renfrewshire?

Local weather shapes the specification. 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 Renfrewshire, flat roofs are typically found on low-rise post-war blocks of flats, lock-up garage blocks on estates and shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Which flat roof jobs do we take on in Renfrewshire?

Torch-on felt roofing

On larger roofs in Renfrewshire with poor falls, torch-on felt pairs well with tapered insulation, which builds the fall into the insulation boards. That deals with ponding properly while adding insulation, rather than patching the low spots and waiting for the next leak.

Flat roof surveys and leak tracing

Businesses in Renfrewshire with a flat-roofed building can't plan maintenance around guesswork. A survey sets out what needs doing now, what can wait and roughly what each item will cost, so the work can be scheduled with as little disruption as possible.

Garage roofs

Water from a failing garage roof in Renfrewshire 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.

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.
