J & A Anderson Roofing

Here at J & A Anderson Roofing Ltd Glasgow, we understand just how important your roof is when it comes to protecting your property, and we offer a wide range of roofing services that will ensure it does its job perfectly. We are a family run roofing company with years of expertise in the roofing and slating business, and we specialise in the supply and installation of quality slate and roof tiles across Glasgow and Scotland. Whether you require assistance with a few slipped or damaged roof tiles, or you are in need of a complete roof replacement, we are the company to call.

We're based in Kirkintilloch and serve Glasgow and surrounding areas. The company was established in 1986 by two brothers, John and Sandy Anderson but is now owned and run by Thomas Haig. Since then we're proud of the reputation we've built up for quality work. Our team have decades of experience in the industry, from replacing a slate roof to repairing chimneys. We have worked with clients of all sizes: we are proud to have worked on listed buildings and carried out renovation work on several of the area's landmarks.

Most lofts act as a home for spiders and long-forgotten odds and ends while they could be providing a useful space for you instead. One major factor that puts people off considering their lofts is the problem of light. Since many lofts aren't originally built to be habitable spaces they can be dark, ill-lit places - not somewhere you'd think of using as a spare room. You can have roof windows installed - this small change can offer big results. Roof windows are an excellent way of allowing natural light into your space.

If you are looking for a durable, long lasting solution for your roof, we offer the latest in EPDM rubber roofing. This roofing can last up to 50 years when installed correctly and is a great investment for any property. Over the years we have installed many EPDM flat roofing systems and our team has the expertise and skills to ensure the best results no matter what the property or the size of the roof. EPDM forms a watertight seamless covering to your roof, and because we choose only the best rubber products from leading manufacturers, you can be sure of the highest standard of workmanship.

Here at J & A Anderson Roofing Ltd, we offer the highest standards in lead roofing and lead work in Glasgow, and have been offering these services across the region for years. We treat every job individually as we know each roof and lead feature has different requirements. What's more, we choose only the best lead products for our range - products that offer the best durability and strength. This means you can trust your lead to last for many years no matter what the weather has to throw at it. Whether you require a complete lead roofing installation or you need urgent patch repairs, our roofing team is on hand to help.

Our roofs all have them, although the words themselves might not sound familiar. The fascias and soffits make up the part of your roof that's commonly referred to as the "roofline". The fascia is the long straight board fixed to the framework of the roof. This will support the weight of the bottom row of tiles as well as the guttering. So it's important that they're up to the job. The soffit board is the one running under the fascia, forming the bottom of the roofline. Together, fascias and soffits seal the roof against the outside world and protect the interior of your home from the elements.

Without the roof, we'd all be a good deal colder and wetter in our homes - which wouldn't be much more than a few walls. They keep us warm and dry, helping to keep out worst of the Scottish weather. The roof is exposed to harsh forces on a regular basis, with storms and high winds battering at it. This can cause damage to the roof, such as tiles being knocked loose or even off entirely. Missing tiles can threaten the roof's structural integrity and put your home at risk from the elements. Water will be able to get into the roof and can eventually lead to much more extensive damage to the house itself.

Flat roofs can suffer from leaks and require replacement periodically. Here at J & A Anderson Roofing Ltd, Glasgow we offer flat roofing repairs and replacement of the highest possible standard and we would be delighted to speak to you today if this is a service that we can help you with. Over the years, we have assisted countless customers with their flat roofing works, and we can help whether you need assistance with a garage, dormer roof or extension flat roof. From the latest in EPDM roofing technology to felt roofing of the highest standard, you can trust us to deliver the best results.

In older buildings, a chimney is almost guaranteed to be a feature of the building - and if you have a functioning fireplace then a chimney is required. With the advent of technology leading to central heating, functional fireplaces have become rarer. However, they're still present in many homes for aesthetic reasons and chimneys are still a part of many roofs for similar reasons. Many people's vision of a house still includes a chimney and they're unlikely to go anywhere in the near future. Due to their exposed position on the roof, chimneys are particularly vulnerable to the elements.

However, it's one of your house's lines of defence against the Scottish weather. Over here, our rainy season lasts all year round and that's where your guttering comes in. When it comes to home maintenance, you need to make sure your guttering is in good repair as it's a critical part of it. Guttering sluices water off your roof, directing it down the drain and into the sewers - where it belongs. Over time, however, leaves can get blown into the guttering and moss can start growing inside it. If the gutters aren't cleaned then a build-up of material in them can lead to damage.
