Flat Roofing East Kilbride, Drainage First
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?
Three things: enough fall, clear drainage and a sound membrane. A so called flat roof should have a slight slope so water runs off rather than sitting. Puddles that linger are where failure starts.
For flat roofing, Colston Roofing works in EPDM, felt or whatever suits the building and how exposed it is. Most flat roofs are on extensions, dormers and garages.
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 Colston Roofing Clarkston problem underneath. If the deck has taken on water, it has to come off first.
How do you know a roof needs replacing?
Colston Roofing lists seven signs worth checking: a roof older than twenty to twenty five years, daylight in the loft, cracked, broken or missing tiles, moss or sagging, persistent leaks or ceiling stains, damaged flashing, and heavy mould in the loft.
One symptom alone rarely justifies a new roof. 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 single figure is honest. Water that drains away is what makes any flat roof last.
How much damage can a blocked gutter do?
Overflow has three usual causes: debris in the run, a fall that runs the wrong way, or undersized guttering. 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. Gutter replacement is part of the roofline work Colston Roofing carries out.
