Tenement Roofing Repairs

Tenement Roofing Repairs

Tenements otherwise known as multiple occupied buildings make up a large percentage of the housing stock in Edinburgh and Glasgow. They were originally built for the working class flocking to the newly industrialised cities in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Edinburgh’s tenements are the oldest though some built in the 17th century where they reached 15 storeys high making them amongst the most tallest dwellings in the world at the time.

These magnificent buildings have contributed to Edinburgh holding status as a world heritage site, however! Edinburgh is in danger of losing its world heritage status due to the lack of maintenance being carried out in the capital. Edinburgh World Heritage in an article on the bbc website warned the Edinburgh’s World Heritage status is under threat due to the state of some of its iconic historical buildings.

A survey was carried out on 202 buildngs in the centre of the city. It found 72% (147 buildings) were in need of some sort of repair and most were privately owned tenements. Issues included things like rotten window frames, gutters block by vegetation and leaves and damaged stonework.
Flat Roofing

Flat Roofing

Traditionally, residential flat roofs used two or more built up layers of bituminous felt for weatherproofing. More recently liquid applied systems like glass fibre have begun to become a more popular choice. Bitumen membranes systems though are still the most used and are of far better quality these days than decades gone by.

Mastic Asphalt is used occasionally however because it is so heavy, the roof support has to be strong enough to use this material.

Garage roofs don’t have to be insulated but other parts of the home do to comply with building regulations. Lothian’s Roofing has decades of experience fitting all these types of flat roofs. If your flat roof just needs a repair, Stuart the owner is happy to come out and give an inspection.

You should then expect to receive a quote within a day or two. If it is an emergency, you should make this clear and Lothian’s Roofing will prioritise the job and come out and secure the flat roof making sure it is water-proof.
