What flat roof work do we do in Bannockburn?

GRP fibreglass roofing

GRP is a good fit in Bannockburn for roofs with awkward shapes, short runs of upstand and lots of corners, because every detail is laminated in place rather than cut and glued. Where a sheet membrane would need many joins, fibreglass forms one continuous skin across the whole roof.

Balconies and roof terraces

Owners of flats in Bannockburn sometimes find that a neighbour's balcony is leaking into their home. Where a balcony serves one flat but sits over another, the repair needs proper waterproofing and drainage, and a clear written specification helps everyone involved agree the work.

In a place like Bannockburn, flat roofs usually sit over garages, rear extensions, dormers and bays, and they take the full force of the weather with little margin for error. A single failed lap or a cracked upstand is enough to let water into a kitchen, bedroom or hallway below.
