What flat roof work do we do in Clydebank?

Single-ply membrane roofing

On exposed sites in Clydebank and elsewhere, mechanically fixed single-ply is specified with a fixing pattern based on wind uplift, with extra fasteners at corners and edges. That makes it a strong option for commercial roofs where wind loads are a concern.

Garage roofs

Many garages in Clydebank still carry their original mineral felt, which may have been patched several times. Once the chippings have washed off and the laps have split, water gets under the felt and into the deck, and patches stop holding. At that stage a full replacement is the practical fix.

Warm roof insulation upgrades

Small commercial buildings in Clydebank with large flat roofs can lose a lot of heat through them. Where the roof is being replaced, upgrading the insulation at the same time is required in most cases and helps reduce running costs for the occupier.
