If you have a leaking roof or a broken roof tile you may want to identify the cause of the damage before proceeding with the necessary repair or replacement however there have been numerous times where we carry out a roof report then nothing happens. Roof reports are extremely beneficial especially if you are looking to sell your house and you need that extra advice from a reputable contractor to make sure your roof is to the highest standard of quality because lets face it, your roof is one of the main aspects a buyer will look at to determine whether or not they will purchase the house.
Slate roofs have been traditional in Scotland since the middle of the 16th century, and we've even developed our own methodology for fixing them to cope best with the harsh Scottish winters. Traditional Scottish slates, mined in Scotland, are thicker and sturdier than those used south of the border, and came in random sizes. For this reason, they were usually nailed in 'diminishing courses': the smaller slates are used at the top of the roof, from the ridge, and larger ones deployed as the courses move down.
A flat roof is an area of the home that you just can't leave to chance or luck: you need a specialist. We've seen it countless times: a homeowner tries to save money by going DIY or hiring an unqualified handyman and ends up paying twice: once to do it the wrong way and then again to hire a professional to fix the inevitable mistakes. A professional felt flat roof installation or repair will involve blowtorching the top layers of felt. The hazardous nature of working with naked flames at high temperatures on a flammable, wooden substrate means it is wise to hire in professional help.
In fact, the ziggurats in Iran and Iraq, made of sun-dried bricks date from 3,000 BC: 400 years older than the earliest Egyptian pyramids! LC Joinery, Roofing and Building Work does not offer a 5,000-year guarantee on our brickwork as yet, but we do make use of tried and tested traditional building craftmanship, brought right up to date with all the modern techniques and materials. There's a reason that so many dwellings are brick-built in Scotland: bricks have good water resistance, provide excellent noise and thermal insulation in their own right, they have a lifespan of over 200 years, they're fireproof, eco-friendly and recyclable.

We have experience working with all popular flat roof types, including asphalt, felt and GPR (fibreglass) and know the strengths and weaknesses of all of them. We provide our customers with a full roof construction service for modern engineered roof trusses and traditional timber roofs. Our modern engineered roof trusses are custom designed by a member of staff from our local reputable roof truss manufacture specialist. A team member will be allocated to work with us hand-in-hand to design, in detail, the roof trusses to meet our customer's requirements - whether it be a pitched roof, flat roof, dual pitch, inverted roof, attic, mono pitch or similar.
Conservatories are a great alternative to an extension. They are a cheaper option, yet are aesthetically pleasing allowing great natural light in and are excellent at keeping in the heat. Our conservatories consist of PVC conservatories, aluminium conservatories and traditional timber conservatories. Like our window range, our conservatories come in white, rosewood, oak, black and anthracite. These are available in various styles, whether it is to suit a certain space in the garden or just to be pleasing to your eyes.
Damp proofing is the generic term typically used to describe the installation of preventative measures to stop damp problems occurring within our home. However, it is not necessary the right term to describe the actual type of damp affecting the property and often the wrong term used to describe the right damp treatment needed to rectify a damp issue. There are many different causes of damp within our homes, not just rising damp (the type of damp often associated with damp proofing). Although most damp issues are much less serious than they actually look, whatever the cause, damp can be bad for our health and the health of our property.

According to Ideal Home magazine, the bathroom is the second most important room in the house in terms of resale value, after the kitchen. They are no longer purely practical rooms, for the utilitarian necessity of keeping clean. Nowadays, whether en-suite or master, modern bathrooms are seen as a private space where you can relax and feel pampered. You can match or contrast the bathroom fittings with the flooring and walls. Maybe you have a particular style, look or theme in mind. Whatever you decide, your bathroom will never be the same as anyone else's: there's simply too much choice.
Insulating your loft, attic, or roof is the simplest and most cost effective way to reduce heat loss and reduce your bills. Heat rises, and in an uninsulated home, 25% of heat is lost through the roof. LC Joinery, Roofing & Building Work can substantially reduce this loss by insulating your home to current standards and in line with current best practice. All pipes or tanks that contain water will be insulated ensuring that they will be able to resist freezing temperatures. Our Fife insulation and Edinburgh insulation team offer many different insulation products including wood fibre, perlite, foam, expanded or extruded polystyrene, cellular glass and gypsum board.

Fascias are the vertical boards that run under the eaves of a roof and hide the ends of the roof rafters. Along with the soffits, fascias play a key role in presenting a finished appearance to the join between the exterior walls and the roof. However, they perform more functions than just improve the aesthetic appeal of your property. They keep out pests, such as insects, birds, squirrels, etc., and contribute to waterproofing by supporting the guttering, although in some traditional stone-built dwellings, the fascias are part of the stone structure and guttering is fixed directly to the stone.
We offer a wide variety of services on most types of roofs including tiled roofs, slate roofs, felt roofs & single-ply membrane (EPDM rubber roofing). A new roof is something you don't want to get wrong, and you can be assured we will only recommend complete replacement if it is absolutely necessary. We also offer a high-quality repair service providing pictures of the defects or damage so you can see for yourself what is required, without ever leaving your chair. Flat roofs are less common on domestic properties and are more usually found on garages and commercial office buildings.
A brand new house extension can add much-needed space to your home, and is often a good alternative to moving house. It can also increase the value of your property. Often, getting an extension can be a long and stressful process, with unexpected costs arising along the way. This usually happens when there are many people involved in the project, such as builders, plumbers, electricians, joiners and kitchen/bathroom fitters. If one person doesn't turn up, that puts the whole project back, increasing costs and the overall time it takes.
If your walls and ceilings are not looking their best, or if you've removed wallpaper to find your walls are crumbling or uneven, you probably need a plasterer. LC Joinery, Roofing and Building Work's professional plastering teams specialise in every aspect of plastering, indoors and out, private and commercial, and we cover Fife, Dundee, Edinburgh and surrounding areas. A good professional plasterer will seek to minimise the mess by mixing the plaster outdoors, where possible - this keeps the dust down inside - and covering floors and furniture with dust sheets.
LC Central Heating are experts in all aspects of central heating installation, repair and installation across Fife and Edinburgh. The main component of any gas central heating system is the boiler, but there are other critical components necessary for the smooth functioning of your central heating. We discuss them here, along with common faults and what to do in the event of a breakdown. Starting with the most obvious, no system can function if one or more radiators has developed a fault. If a radiator is hot at the bottom but cold at the top, it probably just needs to be bled: air has entered the system and is filling the top of the radiator.
Patios are a great way to transform your garden for the summer, accommodating for a BBQ and offering great seating areas with low maintenance. Not only do patios offer great appeal, but they can also add value to your home. LC Patios and Driveways are specialists in design and construction of patios and hard landscaping of all kinds. And we will do it all under our Minimum Fuss & Mess Guarantee. Depending on the space you have available, there are thousands of design ideas you could implement to transform your garden with a new patio.
Bearing all the above in mind, your garage needs to fulfil certain criteria to deliver the best benefits. The perfect fit for your house may be a facing brick, roughcast or a traditional stone-built garage. The options are endless and there is no reason why a garage should not increase the aesthetics of your house. LC Joinery, Roofing and Building Work offers a large variety of options to suit our customers' garage requirements, such as free-standing or attached, double or single garages with flat or traditional tiled or slated roofs.
We get it. Finding a reliable plumber is a nightmare. You arrange a time and date with a local plumber, and it's 50/50 as to whether they'll even show up at all. At LC Joinery, we have a Gas Safe Registered plumber who isexperienced in working in occupied homes and well versed in troubleshooting and problem-solving, ensuring a first-time fix as often as possible. If you're facing an emergency, we can have someone out to you within 12 hours, so you're not left without water or heating. Poor plumbing can have a significant impact on the health of your property, causing damp or drainage problems.
Garage conversions are becoming more common, especially on modern-built timber-kit houses. With simple steps, we can transform the unused garage into a much-needed bedroom or dining room to give you the additional space you need. Garage conversions are a quick and cost-effective procedure, saving you the stress of an extension. We can transform architectural drawings into a complete garage conversion. The typical garage in Scotland is single-skinned, meaning it is constructed of just one wall, not two, unlike most dwellings.
A well-installed and maintained boiler will save you money, give you peace of mind in terms of safety, and be less likely to break down. Our local heating service engineer can make sure your boiler is operating safely and efficiently, as well as provide advice on energy-saving heating solutions if required. When your boiler breaks down, you need a qualified Gas Safe Registered engineer who will arrive on time, with some parts carried as standard. When we carry out a repair, we advise our customers of the cost upfront and don't proceed with any repairs unless the customer is happy with the advance price given.

The professional floor fitters at LC Joinery, Roofing and Building Work have many years of experience in laying all kinds of flooring. Hexagonal, brick-shaped rectangular, triangular, diamond, stretched hexagon and rhomboid are all popular, alongside traditional rectangle and square. For a bathroom or kitchen, ceramic or porcelain tiling comes into its own. Waterproof and durable, you don't need to worry about them getting wet from splashes or high moisture content in the air. Tiles can be cold underfoot in winter but it is inexpensive to fit underfloor heating if you install it at the same time as the tiles.
At the time of writing this article, Scotland and the rest of the UK is experiencing very wet and windy weather. To be clear, we don't advise climbing out of the skylight on a regular basis but we do recommend regular roof maintenance! Regular inspections and routine maintenance - simple things like keeping guttering and downpipes clear of leaf litter and painting the woodwork of soffits and fascias, for example - will prevent serious problems developing in the first place. Early intervention means that when unavoidable problems emerge, they can be acted upon quickly to prevent them developing into more serious issues.
