A complete replacement might be the solution if your property is no longer getting the protection your property requires. Glasgow Roofmasters undertakes full new roof installation services across the Glasgow area. We have over 25 years of experience to guide your choice in what kind of new roof to go for, your preferred choice of materials, and to undertake all the required work to a first class standard.
First things to do at your property include a free, no obligation inspection of the site where we evaluate the existing roof or structure so that any underlying problems can be assessed, and the most appropriate type of new roof can be discussed. From here a quotation can be provided.
New roof installation in Glasgow could be important when one considers that houses in Scotland must be protected against the local weather conditions and the harsh winds of the northern climate. Water ingress from rain or from melting snow is detrimental to building fabric resulting in d4amping and further issues, and a properly installed new roof will prove crucial protection in this respect and reduce future likelihood of water ingress in the short to medium term.
Customers will choose to have their roof replaced for numerous reasons; such problems will often include missing, cracked tiles/slates, damaged felt and the presence of slate that appears flaked or breaking, damaged shingles/felt, evidence of corrosion, frequent and repeated leaking, or the surface of the roof appearing not flat or not level. Also, if your roof is several decades old it's worth considering replacing a roof even when you don't seem to have major problems.
Repeated repairs can be a significant concern when one considers how costly and tedious they can be when needed over years, from an architectural aspect a re-roof gives the opportunity to rebuild roof Covering, felt, structure, insulation and ventilation as required.
Both pitched and flat roof coverings can be installed with us, with pitched roof installation appearing common especially in Glasgow and Scotland due to its ability to channel rainwater, minimise the burden and effect of snow ingress and contribute potential space when utilising attic areas which we would investigate further, along with potential for insulating areas that haven't before.
Common pitched roofing materials installed include concrete tiles, clay tiles, natural slates, asphalt tiles/shingles depending on property type and user preferences with regards material, color and finish. Clay and Concrete tiles in particular offer a wide range of choice with regards color, tile shape and texture while natural slates provide an ancient finish that is highly sought after and associated with a traditional look that will not date.
For the installations undertaken on flat roofs we recommend & fit either EPDM rubber roof covering, fibreglass or roofing felt due to the nature and requirement of this installation type. A new modern home may require a more contemporary flexible roof covering, whereas a garage or extension can benefit from a cost effective roofing felt option for specific types of installation with adequate structural support.
There is more to deciding on a roofing material than simply selecting one based on aesthetic characteristics; one must carefully consider the chosen roofing materials weight relative to structure/insulation, roof type (sloping or flat), architectural design of house, local environment the property sits in, potential future requirements such as maintenance and/or loft conversion, required insulation, and cost as a whole, something Glasgow Roofmasters are here to discuss and explain.
A new roof installation in Glasgow is an opportunity to further improve the roof by increasing levels of insulation helping to make your home warmer and also reduce energy bills, whilst a well-designed roof is also efficient, providing adequate ventilation which can help combat condensation issues in properties built with no room above the roof. Your home could potentially be more eco friendly and also benefit from extra, easily managed additional services such as snow guards, solar panels, roof windows and the enhancement of existing drainage, such as the cleaning of blocked gutters.
A home owner in Glasgow should never assume that every new roof will have the same cost associated with it. Several features of a roof installation can impact upon cost, size of new roof, the building materials needed, whether your home is pitched or flat roof, the pitch angle of the roof covering or even the access required, along with both the actual structural integrity and the complexity to be experienced upon removing and repairing old covering.
The cost of a new roof in Glasgow depends so very much upon its individual characteristics with all the necessary components evaluated individually by us so that you will receive a clear and comprehensive breakdown of works before any agreement to commit is obtained, we do not have any fee to visit your property and survey the work required, or commit the customer to any work whatsoever if a quotation isn't accepted by yourself on your terms after we have provided it.
Workmanship and the nature of replacing the existing covering, whether it be slates, tiles, felt or even timber, require very careful thought given safety procedures at the property, access will also be monitored given factors like neighboring properties, surrounding land, structural condition of the building along with how well the existing structure can be safely protected while being worked on, any hazards perceived on site with this kind of work cannot be risked and therefore we would deploy appropriate measures such as scaffolding or working platforms on an individual basis as required by the task.
A thorough assessment and sealing of all the vulnerable points such as flashings on any walls joined to roof penetrations, as well as the integrity of joints and roof structure connection are important before the work is deemed completed along with leaving the property clean and tidy after all materials have been cleared away to a sustainable waste management facility.
Glasgow Roofmasters have and are fully backed with a 5 year workmanship guarantee, where the actual roofing materials supplied with each new roof installation carry their manufacturers guarantees, a homeowners insurance portfolio will always be improved when you add documentation from the new roof installation to your records, and a quality new roof has a value added to the property so there are clearly the many benefits to be considered; Glasgow Roofmasters can provide an all encompassing new roof service which aims to make this undertaking easy from the first site visit through to your home becoming fully protected again.
