What flat roof work do we do in Larkhall?

Garage roofs

A garage in Larkhall that is becoming a workshop, gym or home office is a good reason to replace its roof. That is the moment to think about insulation and a warm-roof build-up, so the roof does not have to be stripped again when the space is heated.

Flat roof surveys and leak tracing

Landlords and managing agents in Larkhall 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.

Green and sedum roofs

Small commercial buildings and blocks in Larkhall with a flat roof sometimes add an extensive green roof as part of a refurbishment. The structural check and safe access for maintenance matter even more on these larger roofs, which may need edge protection or fall-arrest points for each visit.
