New-town roofs, and what goes wrong with them
Cumbernauld’s roofs are not like the roofs in most Scottish towns. Built as a new town from the 1950s onwards, it has far more flat and low-pitched roofs than most towns around it, and a lot of them are now on their second or third covering. As roofers working in Cumbernauld, flat roofs, felt repairs and tired uPVC roofline are the jobs we are called out for most, alongside everyday tile repairs and full re-roofs.
Walk round Seafar, Kildrum or Abronhill and you will see the pattern: terraces and semis with shallow pitches, flat-roofed extensions, garages and porches, concrete tiles, and timber or uPVC fascias carrying long runs of guttering. Some homes have fully flat main roofs.
That design works well while the covering is sound. The trouble is age and exposure. Cumbernauld sits high on its ridge, open to the wind, and felt that went down decades ago gets brittle, blisters and splits. Water sits in low spots and finds the joins at upstands and outlets. On pitched roofs, concrete tiles work loose at the ridge and verge, and old timber fascias rot behind the gutters. Most of what we fix in Cumbernauld comes back to one of those.
Flat roof repairs in Cumbernauld
Because flat roofs are such a big part of the town’s housing, they are a big part of our work here. When we look at one, we check the whole covering, the edges, the upstands against walls and the outlets, not just the patch where the water shows. Sometimes a targeted repair will give you years more. Sometimes the felt has simply reached the end of its life and patching it again is money wasted. We will tell you which, and why.
When a new roof is the right call, we fit felt, GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber, and we explain the trade-offs for your roof rather than pushing one system. See our flat roofs page for more on each.

I am most pleased with the workmanship and work ethic of the Kerse team who replaced my flat roof. The team were on time and incredibly hard working, neat, most polite and anxious to please. Though the job got delayed two days due to rain, they more than made up for it by completing work in less than 2 days. I would fully recommend Kerse roofing to anyone looking for excellent service!

Questions from Cumbernauld homeowners
Why do so many Cumbernauld homes have flat roofs?
Much of Cumbernauld was built as a planned new town from the 1950s onwards, and flat and low-pitched roofs were a common design at the time, on houses as well as extensions and garages. Many of those roofs are now on an old covering, which is why flat roof repairs are one of our most common Cumbernauld jobs.
Felt, GRP or EPDM: which suits a Cumbernauld flat roof?
It depends on the roof. Modern felt is a solid, economical choice. GRP fibreglass gives a hard, seamless finish that suits roofs you might walk on. EPDM rubber is a single sheet that copes well with movement. We look at your roof’s size, use and condition and explain the options before you decide.
Can a flat roof be repaired, or does it need replacing?
If the problem is local, such as a split, a failed upstand or a leaking outlet, and the rest of the covering is sound, a repair is usually the sensible option. If the felt is brittle and blistered all over, repeated patching just delays a replacement. We will show you what we find and give you both options where they exist.
You are based near Falkirk. Do you really cover Cumbernauld?
Yes. Our base in Laurieston is about 15 miles from Cumbernauld, roughly 25 minutes along the M876 and M80, and we cover the whole town across G67 and G68. We book surveys at a time that suits you, and for an urgent leak we offer same-day callouts where we can.
Do you replace rotten fascias and soffits in Cumbernauld?
Yes. Timber fascias and soffits on the town’s older houses often rot behind the gutters. We replace them with low-maintenance uPVC roofline and fit new guttering and downpipes at the same time, so the rainwater drains away properly instead of running down the walls.
Areas we cover in Cumbernauld
Every part of the town across G67 and G68: Abronhill, Kildrum, Seafar, Carbrain, Condorrat, Cumbernauld Village, Westfield and Balloch, and the streets in between.
