What flat roof work do we do in Renfrew?

Flat roof surveys and leak tracing

Landlords and managing agents in Renfrew often need a written record of a roof's condition, for budgeting, for leaseholders, or to show a problem has been looked at properly. A survey report gives them a clear basis for deciding when to repair and when to replace.

Liquid-applied roofing

For businesses and landlords in Renfrew, a cold-applied liquid roof means no flame on site and, with some systems, a short cure time. That can make it easier to work around occupied buildings, tenants and opening hours than a system that needs hot works or a long strip-out.

Flats, HMOs and block roofs

A block roof in Renfrew is a long-term asset, so we talk about whole-life cost as well as the price today. A longer-life system with corrected falls can mean fewer reactive repairs and fewer rounds of consultation over the years, and the survey explains the options in plain terms.

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.
