Garage Roof Installation and Repair in Clarkston
Colston Roofing, a Glasgow based roofing company, covers garage roof installation and repair in Clarkston and the surrounding areas. Garage roofs are mostly flat or shallow pitched, so the usual coverings are EPDM or felt for flat ones and tiles, slate or sheeting for pitched ones.
How is a garage roof replaced in Clarkston?
A garage usually has a flat or low pitched roof, which narrows the choice of covering. Flat ones usually take EPDM or felt; pitched ones take tiles, slate or sheeting. Garage roof installation and repair is a Colston Roofing service.
Garages tend to be built to a budget and rarely checked. Moss and leaves stop the water roofing contractor Newton Mearns getting away, and the deck suffers. Older cement sheet garage roofs can contain asbestos, so have them tested before anybody disturbs them.
What is the best material for a garage roof?
For a flat garage roof, a rubber membrane such as EPDM is a common choice because it copes well with wet weather and has few seams. Colston Roofing covers garage roof installation and repair, including EPDM rubber roofs.
Why is the leak never directly above the stain?
A leak rarely drips where it enters. It tracks along the underside of the roof, and the stain appears wherever it finally drops. Flashings, valleys and the junction with a chimney are the usual entry points.
Colston Roofing works back from the stain to the point of entry, and repairs it to stop longer term damage. Left alone, an internal leak soaks insulation, stains plaster and rots timber.
Do I need building regs to replace garage roof?
In Scotland the system is building standards and building warrants, and a like for like re-covering often needs no warrant. Changing the structure or the roof shape can, so check with the council's building standards team before you start.
What makes a flat roof last?
Three things: enough fall, clear drainage and a sound membrane. No flat roof should be dead level; a gentle fall moves water to the outlet. Ponding after a shower is the earliest warning.
Colston Roofing installs, repairs and replaces flat roofs using EPDM, felt or other materials suited to the property and its exposure. Most flat roofs are on extensions, dormers and garages.
