Besides protection, installing a new roof in Glasgow can uplift your house appeal and value. The variety of roofing materials available, with different colours, textures and shapes, can create the desired ambiance for any house – whether a traditional building that will need slate or clay tiling, or modern construction that could feature felt roofing, EPDM rubber, fiberglass etc.

Pitched roofs are common all over Glasgow and Scotland, thanks to their tilted characteristic which will allow the rainwater to run down to avoid accumulation of water. It’s the standard type of roof for pitched buildings, often used for housing due to the available loft space and the opportunity for additional insulation and ventilation.

Flat roofs are most often used for additions, garages, commercial premises, and many new houses today, though not recommended for regions experiencing a lot of snow and heavy rainfall due to potential water build-up. Our team at Glasgow Roofmasters specialises in the installation and replacement of flat roofs, using different material options like EPDM rubber, fiberglass or traditional roofing felt.

Clay tiles are a traditional option that gives any house a beautiful, earthy appearance. They are very durable and are a common fixture on both modern homes and heritage properties. Concrete tiles can a less costly, yet similarly durable option and may incorporate a range of finishes and styles.

Natural slate is a classic and highly popular choice in Scotland and will add real character and value to your home. It is very long-lasting, but due to its significant weight, the supporting structure must be sound enough for its weight – this would be assessed in detail by us.

Asphalt shingles are a very popular in other parts of the country and also offer a light-weight solution for pitched roofs and come in various profiles and colours to compliment the look of your house. As mentioned above for flat roofs, EPDM rubber is flexible and weather-resistant, it offers a robust seal against water ingress.

Fiberglass is an alternative for certain low-slope or flat roofs and will offer a smooth surface, while traditional roofing felt is a versatile option for a wide array of flat roof constructions. During an initial consultation and survey of your property, our roofing specialists can advise you on all the available material options.
