What flat roof work do we do in Carluke?

Flats, HMOs and block roofs

When a roof over heated flats in Carluke 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 top-floor flats are better insulated.

Emergency leak repairs

Businesses in Carluke can't trade properly with water dripping onto the shop floor or into an office. An emergency visit makes the roof temporarily weathertight, and the inspection that follows tells you whether a repair will hold or the roof needs replacing.

EPDM rubber roofing

Choose EPDM in Carluke 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.
