At Advanced Roofing we have been maintaining Edinburgh's roofs since 1989. We work on some of Edinburgh's oldest and most recognisable roofs as well as installing brand new roofs too. Over the years we have built up a wealth of knowledge and experience working with traditional materials such as slate, stone and lead as well as modern materials with the latest technologies in Sarnafil and Bauder to keep our clients roofs watertight. Advanced Roofing is a privately-owned roofing company based in Trinity, Edinburgh.
Sarnafil is single ply PVC flat roofing membrane with a BBA (British Board of Agrment, Glossary) Sarnafil G410 - 15 year guarantee with BBA life expectancy in excess of 45 years. This innovative roofing solution is made from a PVC (Glossary) or FPO material (Glossary) and fixed by approved registered installers via a hot air welding process. The technology within Sarnafil roofing and this application method provides long term durability with outstanding resistance to weather and UV. At Advanced Roofing we are proud to be an approved Sarnafil registered installer.
Advanced Roofing understand the importance of using the proper techniques and materials to preserve Edinburgh's heritage buildings. We employ the most expert stonemasons and stone restorers to ensure a sympathetic and robust restoration is carried out. We use Masons Mortar Ltd, Edinburgh as our main supplier of lime, aggregate and Lithomex stone repair products. This allows us to colour match your existing stonework with Lithomex's extensive colour choices to ensure an expert finish. It is important that the correct materials are used when it comes to stonework to preserve the original stone.
Slates and tiles are layered in a slope to direct water from the roof apex down to the valleys and guttering. Each slate or tile is fixed to the roof by a nail with ridge tiles used for the roof junctions. There may also be chimneys, vents and windows that feature on your roof. Guttering and downpipes are also elements of your roofing infrastructure. Due to these numerous components to a slate or tiled roof there are several areas of maintenance required to keep the roof watertight. When we work on slate or tile roofs we take measures to repair to extend the life of the roof.
Annual roof inspections are recommended for all homeowners to maximise the lifespan of their roof. For our existing clients an annual roof service reminder is sent. This reminder is usually sent out in the early autumn to ensure the roof is ready for a Scottish Winter. The roof protecting your business also requires an annual maintenance check. We work closely with businesses to carry out free annual roof surveys and carry out necessary proactive and reactive maintenance. One example of our commercial maintenance relationships is with Fettes College, read about our commercial maintenance work with Fettes here.
Advanced Roofing was formed in 1989 with owners Alan Dall and Scott Fyfe. Alan and Scott were both self employed and were working together on a job as contractors. The main contractor went out of business owing money to both Alan and Scott. The owner handed over one of his vans and a set of ladders as payment and said "go out and make themselves a living". Our office is based in Trinity in the North of Edinburgh, but our work takes us across the city and neighbouring counties. Over the years Advanced Roofing has grown to a 22 strong team that includes slaters, tilers, leadworkers, stoneworkers and our office admin team.
