Flat Roofs on East Kilbride Extensions and Dormers
Colston Roofing, a Glasgow based roofing company, covers flat roofing in East Kilbride and the surrounding areas. A flat roof lasts on three things: a slight fall so water runs off, clear drainage at the outlet, and a sound membrane such as EPDM or felt.
What makes a flat roof last?
Drainage first, then the waterproof layer. A properly built flat roof has a small fall towards its gutter or outlet. Puddles that linger are where failure starts.
Colston Roofing installs, repairs and replaces flat roofs using EPDM, felt or other materials suited to the property and its exposure. Extensions, dormers and garages are where most flat roofs sit.
Can you reroof over an existing flat roof?
Sometimes, but only when the existing covering and deck are dry and sound, and overlaying a failed roof traps the problem underneath. If the deck has taken on water, it has to come off first.
What are the signs a East Kilbride roof is near the end?
Colston Roofing lists seven signs worth checking: age past twenty to twenty five years, light showing in the loft, cracked or missing tiles, moss build up or sagging, leaks that keep returning, damaged flashing, and mould in the loft.
One sign on its own usually means a repair. A cluster of them on an ageing roof is when a new one usually works out better value. Inspections from Colston Roofing are free and come with no pressure or obligation.
How many years will a flat roof last?
It varies with the material, the workmanship and the drainage more than anything else, so no Colston Roofing Paisley single figure is honest. Water that drains away is what makes any flat roof last.
What goes wrong with gutters in East Kilbride?
Three reasons cover nearly all of it: leaves and moss, a gutter that has sagged out of level, or a profile too small for the volume. A gutter that is too small spills in a downpour however clean it is.
A surprising amount, since the water ends up on the masonry. Stone and brick below a leaking joint stain and stay wet, and the damp eventually shows inside. Colston Roofing includes gutters in its fascia and soffit work.
