Which flat roofs are common in East Renfrewshire?
Flat roofs in East Renfrewshire sit on lock-up garage blocks on estates, bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers and newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced. 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.
Building standards in Scotland
In Scotland a building warrant is usually needed for alterations, structural work and new roofs; like-for-like repairs to a covering can be exempt. Section 6 of the technical handbooks sets a domestic roof benchmark of 0.12 W/m²K, applied as far as reasonably practicable on an existing roof. In East Renfrewshire the application goes to East Renfrewshire Council (building standards). More on the rules.
What do you check and do on a repair visit?
We inspect the whole roof, not only the spot that is leaking, and tell you what we have found before any work starts.
A typical visit covers the covering itself (splits, blisters, crazing, lost chippings and open laps), the upstands and flashings at walls, edge trims and drips, outlets and gutters, any rooflights, and how water sits on the roof after rain. Where it is safe to do so, we check the deck for soft spots. Every roof is treated as fragile until a competent person has confirmed otherwise, and edge protection goes in before anyone works near an open edge.
The repair itself means cutting back to sound material, drying the area and repairing with the same system. We clear the outlets while we are up there, because a blocked outlet is a common reason a repaired roof leaks again. What the repair covers, and what it doesn't, is set out in the written quote.
How long will a flat roof repair last?
A well-made repair on a roof that is otherwise sound should last as long as the covering around it. It can't add years to the rest of the roof, though.
If your felt roof is twenty years old, a perfect patch still leaves twenty-year-old felt around it, and the next weak point will appear in its own time. That is why we give you an honest view of how much life the roof has left, so you can decide whether a repair now and a planned replacement later is better value than replacing straight away.
Simple care helps any repair last. Clearing leaves from outlets and gutters, keeping people off roofs that aren't designed for foot traffic, and looking over upstands and edges after storms all catch small problems before they reach the ceiling. Our maintenance guide lists the checks worth doing each year.

Will a repair affect my roof's guarantee?
It can. If the roof is still under a manufacturer's material guarantee, the repair should normally use that manufacturer's products and methods, so share any guarantee paperwork with us before work starts.
Who carries out the repair?
Vetted roofing teams working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, part of the S&K Group, which is the company you contract with. The price and scope are agreed in writing before work starts.
How long does a flat roof repair take?
Most small repairs take a few hours on site once the roof is dry. Larger upstand or outlet repairs can take a day or more, and setting up scaffold or access equipment adds time.
