Protecting your property from rain, wind, snow and weather changes year round, a roof plays a crucial role. If not well-maintained and looked after, a minor problem can quite often balloon into a much larger, more costly, issue. Here at Glasgow Roofmasters, we are able to provide high quality new roof services in and around Glasgow, for home properties or other types of buildings. Our skilled team has more than 25 years of experience in the industry, providing us with a comprehensive knowledge which we can pass on to our customers in terms of helping you make sure we install the best possible roof for you. When replacing a new roof, we know that the process can appear daunting. We understand there is often quite a lot to think about; many different materials you can use for a new roof, the style, or indeed the best solution for your home in the Glasgow area. Therefore, the purpose of what we are about, from the out-set, is to help make the process as smooth as possible. We begin with a free, no obligation inspection, before clearly explaining how we feel a new roof will help solve the existing problem your roof has. A new roof in Glasgow is needed if; you frequently have leaks within your house or building, your current roof has got a lot of damaged and/or missing tiles or slates, it is damaged in some part from things like rain or has got any damage showing from astructural point of view. Other indicators of a forthcoming roof may come in the form of dark damp areas above head height or dampness coming through your ceiling. More obvious signs can also include rotten timbers ,the new roof can also cover up uneven or dipping sections to a roof and in time can cause costs of repairs to build up, and a more logical and cost efficient option at some stage could be to invest in new roof. As we deal with both pitched and flat roofs, we can supply and install most common roofing materials for you. Should you have an old pitched roof that is in poor repair, we have: cement tiles, clay tiles, natural slate and an asphalt shingle coating that are commonly used. These are generally ideal, when you seek a material that’s built to last decades, for a sloping roof that will offer protection year after year. We cater for flat roofs too by offering EPDM rubber, fibreglass coating, or simply traditional bitumen roof felt. When thinking of clay or concrete tiles you may imagine a very conventional, strong building element which gives durability to the building over many decades with the proper and reasonable maintenance and good building design. The more modern options for flat roofs consist of EPDM rubberised materials (which are highly flexible, durable and weather proof). Fibreglass can be a good option on certain flat, low slope roofs and sometimes garage roofs or extensions, as it can provide a very smooth and hard- wearing finish, whereas standard roofing felt can also be fitted for its cost effective advantages and water protection. With our knowledge when it comes to new roofs in Glasgow, we know that the choice of roofing material is really only one part of the overall decision making process when getting a roof installation carried out. The design of your building, angle of your roof to ensure maximum water dispersal, ventilation to regulate temperature and stop condensation in the roof and drainage to keep things flowing all have to come into play and should be considered, and you’ll need someone with enough experience in such things to discuss this with you. Why get new roof? Benefits include: Reduced risk of water penetration and resulting damage, better protection against severe weather such as wind, rain and snow. Newer roofing systems and modern construction techniques can also have the advantage of better insulation and ventilation for the property, resulting in a warmer property. Also it would give your property a visual improvement and this would surely make your property more appealing when and if you would consider selling your property in the future. When it comes to a Glasgow new roof cost, no one can give you an accurate price for a job without properly assessing the property first. The size of a roof is the most obvious factor – the larger the size of the area you’d require roofing work for, then the more materials and work time involved. This could obviously put up the price when get new roof installed. The type of roof is very different, e.g. A pitched or flat roof requires different working methods and materials, and the variety of materials we have for new roof covering is also massive.

Additional costs when it comes to estimating a new roof cost in Glasgow could come if your original roof framework is compromised. If there are rot timbers in parts of the roof, poor roof felt support or some kind of structural issues – we will need to undertake additional work to make good before new roof installation. Roof design can play quite an influence - a house with dormer windows, many roof lights/dormers, a steep roof, a large chimney or other complicated structures – each demands careful and time consuming attention to detail, and this will affect the cost you pay. Building accessibility – the height and complexity of your house can lead to increases in costs of the installation if for instance special equipment like a cherry picker or specific height scaffold needs to be deployed to safely install your new roofing. Removing the existing roof – If you have old roof tiling or sheeting to remove from your current roof, this will incur further labour costs to uplift and dispose of properly – which will also influence the final price. To help give you an idea of prices for a new roof in Glasgow, a pitched roofing material choice such as asphalt shingles could range between approximately 50 and 80 per m2. Our concrete tiling options range between 100 and 160 per m2 whilst with natural slate we can be from 200 – 350 per m2, though again price may vary dramatically. Roofing felt option prices generally fall between 60 – 110 per m2, whilst EPDM Rubber and Fibre Glass options for new flat roofs come in between 90 – 150 and 90 – 160 per m2 respectively, though these are approximate price ranges. Please bear in mind that if we need to remove your old roofcovering – whether tiling or other materials – this carries an additional cost depending on what needs removing, and further charges are made for the hire of skip/container, scaffolding, other building requirements for example new fascia and soffit work, and potential structural upgrades, and any insulation if you decide to add it. We would need to give you a full breakdown of costs when our survey is concluded, and an assessment of your property carried out. These are some very general estimates; there is no definitive new Glasgow roofing price which will fit all circumstances and it’s essential for us to fully inspect a roof before we can propose the best method.
