What flat roof work do we do in Lanark?
Flat roof replacement
Selling or letting a property in Lanark 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.
Dormer roofs
If your dormer in Lanark was added years ago with a basic felt roof and little insulation, it will tend to fail at the edges first, and they leave the loft room cold in winter and hot in summer. A warm-roof replacement deals with both problems at once.
Garage roofs
If your garage in Lanark has an old cement sheet roof, it will eventually crack and let in water. Any suspected asbestos is tested and removed by a licensed specialist first, then the garage can be given new timbers, a deck and a modern membrane that should last for decades with sensible maintenance.

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 Lanark?
