Flat Roofing Specialists in Aberdeen
A flat roof done well is a brilliant, economical way to cover an extension, garage or commercial building. Done badly, it is a source of leaks from the first winter. Our flat roofing team installs and repairs every common system across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, with the falls, outlets and edge details engineered to cope with North East rain and wind.
New Flat Roof Installation
Extensions, garages, dormers and commercial units — we install complete flat roof systems designed for the Aberdeen climate, with proper falls and drainage built in.
Flat Roof Replacement
When an old felt roof has blistered, cracked or simply worn out, we strip it back and replace it with a modern system that will last decades, not years.
Flat Roof Repairs
Ponding water, splits and leaking joints can often be repaired if caught early. We assess honestly whether repair or replacement is the better value for your roof.
EPDM Rubber Roofing
Single-piece rubber membranes offer outstanding weather resistance with no joints to fail — an excellent low-maintenance choice for domestic flat roofs.
Felt & Torch-On Systems
Modern high-performance felt systems remain a reliable, cost-effective option. We install multi-layer torch-on felt with properly detailed edges and upstands.
Commercial Flat Roofing
We install and maintain flat roofs on commercial and industrial buildings across Aberdeen, working around your business with minimal disruption.

Got a question?
Flat Roofs — FAQs
How long does a flat roof last?
It depends on the system. Modern EPDM rubber roofs can last 40 years or more when properly installed, while high-performance felt systems typically last 20–30 years. Either way, correct installation and detailing matter more than anything else.
My flat roof is holding water — is that a problem?
Standing water ("ponding") accelerates wear on most flat roof coverings and often points to inadequate falls or blocked drainage. It is worth having the roof inspected before it develops into a leak.
Can you repair my existing flat roof instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. Localised splits, blisters and joint failures can usually be repaired if the covering still has life left. We inspect the roof and give you an honest recommendation with prices for both options where appropriate.
Do you install flat roofs on commercial buildings in Aberdeen?
Yes — we install, repair and maintain flat roofs on commercial and industrial properties across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, and can schedule work to minimise disruption to your business.
