As we all know Scotlands climate is cold and wet for much of the year, so properly insulated flat roofing systems can significantly reduce heat loss. Insulated flat roofs help buildings retain heat, which lowers energy consumption and reduces heating bills—especially important given rising energy costs.Combining durability, flexibility, and energy efficiency, single ply systems offer a modern, lightweight alternative to traditional flat roofing methods. Their rapid installation and long-term performance make them ideal for both new builds and refurbishment projects, particularly in Scotland’s challenging climate.

We specialise in insulated flat roofing systems across Scotland, delivering high-performance solutions every day. Our teams work on both traditional built-up felt systems and advanced single-ply membranes, providing robust, weather-resistant roofing for commercial and residential properties alike. Whether it’s a retrofit or new build, we ensure every insulated flat roof project meets the highest standards of thermal efficiency and durability — all while complying with current Scottish Building Regulations.

In Scotland, the installation of insulation is currently zero-rated for VAT purposes. This means that from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2027, homeowners and qualifying organisations can benefit from a 0% VAT rate on the installation of certain energy-saving materials, including insulation for flat roofs. FLATROOFCO are registered insulation contractors allowing us to offer the current Zero-Rate of VAT to our clients.
