Roofers covering Falkirk
Falkirk sits comfortably inside our coverage, on the road between our Lanarkshire base and Edinburgh.
What Falkirk is built of
Falkirk grew around the great Carron ironworks and the canals, and its streets tell that story: Victorian terraces and villas in local sandstone, foundry workers' housing, and a broad twentieth-century belt of bungalows and council schemes. The older town centre carries traditional slate; the later streets are mostly tile.
The 1930s bungalow is a Falkirk signature, and its roofs are now ninety years old. Many carry their original rosemary clay tiles, which look wonderful and fail individually, one cracked tile at a time.
What the weather does to Falkirk roofs
Falkirk's position on the low ground between the Forth and the hills gives it wet winters and hard frosts. Clay tiles from the interwar years become brittle, concrete tiles from the post-war years lose their surface, and chimney heads on older terraces take steady frost damage.
