We are thrilled to share the successful completion of an intricate and multifaceted roofing project, showcasing our expertise as Scotland’s leading roofing and building maintenance contractor.
With a reputation for delivering innovative and robust solutions, we were the perfect choice to manage this complex project. The endeavour required a blend of advanced skills and techniques, incorporating diverse roofing systems to achieve the successful end results.
The client required three distinct services for this project:
- Slate Roofing
- Flat Roofing
- Cladding
Each aspect was meticulously planned and executed, showcasing our ability to integrate traditional and modern solutions to meet the unique needs of our clients.
Slate Roofing
For the slate roofing, we utilized Cupa H3 slate, renowned for its timeless elegance, unmatched durability, and ability to seamlessly blend with traditional architectural styles. The process began with a comprehensive assessment of the existing roof structure to ensure it could support the new slate installation. Cupa H3 was chosen for its quality and compatibility with the building’s design. Detailed measurements and layouts were prepared to ensure precise alignment.
Known across Scotland for our roofing services, our skilled roofers installed the slates using secure fixing methods, ensuring durability and weather resistance against the often varied weather in Scotland. Advanced rope access techniques and scaffolding were employed for high or hard-to-reach areas, ensuring safety and efficiency.
Flat Roofing
For the flat roofing, we employed Protan single-ply membranes, well known for their high-performance waterproofing and thermal efficiency. The flat roofing process included surface preparation where the roof’s surface was cleaned and levelled to provide an optimal base for the membrane.
Protan membranes were expertly laid, with joints sealed using advanced welding techniques to create a seamless waterproof barrier. Insulation materials were incorporated to enhance energy efficiency, aligning with modern construction standards.
Rigorous testing ensured the flat roof met all performance criteria, including water resistance and thermal efficiency.
Cladding
For the cladding, we used the Ash & Lacey system, providing a protective and decorative layer for the building exterior. We collaborated with the client to select a cladding system that balanced aesthetics, insulation and weather resistance.
The building’s exterior was prepared, and the cladding panels were securely fixed using precision techniques to achieve a sleek, contemporary finish.
Insulation materials were integrated within the cladding system to improve thermal performance and energy efficiency.
Challenges and Solutions
Many roofing projects like this require work in at height, in remote, or otherwise hard-to-reach areas. Balmore’s expertise in advanced rope access services and strategic scaffolding ensures safe and efficient execution of such tasks. These capabilities were instrumental in delivering this project on time and to the highest standards.
The completion of this roofing project highlights our ability to seamlessly integrate multiple roofing systems into a cohesive, high-performance solution.
