Which flat roofs are common in South Lanarkshire?

Weather matters on a flat roof. 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 South Lanarkshire, flat roofs are typically found on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers, 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions and terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Which flat roof jobs do we take on in South Lanarkshire?

Flat roof replacement

Selling or letting a property in South Lanarkshire can also prompt a replacement. A buyer's surveyor will usually flag a flat roof near the end of its life, and a recent replacement with written workmanship and material guarantees answers that question before it turns into a negotiation point.

Liquid-applied roofing

Liquid roofing suits a roof in South Lanarkshire that is full of penetrations, such as soil pipes, vents, aerial brackets and rooflights, because the liquid flows around each one and cures into a single skin. There are no cut pieces or taped corners to work loose over time.

Garage roofs

Water from a failing garage roof in South Lanarkshire 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.
