We regularly install and repair flat roofs in Glasgow and central Scotland. We have installed hundreds of such systems with happy customers all the way.

Flat roofs are a popular feature of many homes where traditional pitched roofs to single story extensions would not make a lot of sense. They are commonly used for garages, extensions and conversions in a property.

They not only free up space but in most cases are cheaper to install, as they require less material to adequately weather-proof a property.

A flat roof is never truly flat. They will always be designed and installed with a slight angle to allow water to drain away into the gutters.

We’re experienced in installing and repairing Firestone RubberCover EPDM based roofs as well as liquid plastics such as Rubberseal and also more traditional flat roofs made from felt, asphalt and lead roofs.

Flat roofs tend to have a bad reputation but 90% of this is due to poor workmanship on the part of the roofer. There is no inherent issue with flat roofs when installed properly by skilled tradespeople like ourselves. In fact, we offer a 10 year insurance backed guarantee with these systems.

Please remember this point- Flat roofs are a great investment IF they are installed by skilled and competent tradespeople.

Why a new flat roof?

There are a number of reasons for replacement of flat roofs, like ageing, inadequate material being used initially, bad design or poor-quality workmanship

Firestone rubbercover EPDM roofs are by far one of our most recommended systems to install if your looking for a flat roof in Glasgow. Most traditional flat roofs made of felt or asphalt need only the smallest of design flaws or damage and water will begin to penetrate or accumulate in the structure weakening it. With EPDM roofs this is simply not the case as they are completely waterproof.

Firestone Rubbercover Ethylene Polypropylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) as the name suggests is made of rubber- and a hard wearing one at that.

Due to its ethylene and polypropylene qualities, this material can last up-to 30+ years. Its durable & thick surface requires minimal maintenance.

They are also far more attractive to look at than felt or asphalt roofs and easier to maintain. You may notice moss and algae growing on certain flat roofs but the synthetic rubber coating of EPDM roofs resists this helping your roof look better for longer.

Another benefit of this type of system is that they are far more environmentally friendly as they are made from recycled material and have very long lifespans once installed. Some roofers even call them fit and forget systems.

Finally a big plus of EPDM roofs is they are much easier to repair if they were to be physically damaged say by foot traffic or a falling tree branch.

Long term EPDM roofs are one of the most cost-effective solutions to many flat roofing needs.
