What flat roof work do we do in Duntocher?
Flats, HMOs and block roofs
When a roof over heated flats in Duntocher 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.
Garage roofs
Garage roofs in Duntocher are often replaced when the deck gives way. Chipboard decks swell and soften once they get wet, and you may see sagging between joists or feel the roof flex underfoot. Replacing the deck and covering together is usually more economical than repeated repairs.
EPDM rubber roofing
For landlords with property in Duntocher, EPDM's low upkeep is the main draw: once the outlets are kept clear and the trims are checked once or twice a year, there is little else to do. It also goes down quickly on a small roof, which keeps disruption for tenants to a minimum.

Local weather shapes the specification. 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.
