Project character
Large, visible and detailed roof areas
Large public sector building
Modern Roofing (Scotland) Ltd was involved in the roofing works on the project, carrying out single ply roofing installation to areas of the building. The roof design made this an interesting project due to the scale of the building, the different roof levels, the visible roof areas and the amount of detailed work required around upstands, edges, rooflights and architectural features.
Detailed single ply workmanship
The project required careful workmanship and accurate detailing to ensure the single ply system was installed neatly and correctly across a complex public sector building. On a roof of this type, the quality of the installation is important not only for long-term weather protection, but also because sections of the roof are visible as part of the building’s overall design.
Still going strong
Although the work was carried out many years ago, the roof remains a strong example of how well-installed single ply roofing can continue to perform on a large public sector building. The Civic Centre is still in active use today, and the roof continues to demonstrate the long-term value of quality single ply roofing installation.

Why this job matters for Livingston clients
Projects like West Lothian Civic Centre show the importance of experience, accurate detailing and reliable workmanship when working on large commercial and public sector buildings where the roof has both a practical and visual role. The same attention to detail matters on commercial buildings, industrial estates, factories, warehouses and other large non-domestic roofs across Livingston and West Lothian.
Single Ply Membrane Roofing in Livingston
The Civic Centre project gives a strong local example of single ply roofing installation in Livingston. Single ply systems are widely used on commercial, public sector and industrial roof areas where modern waterproofing and clean detailing are required.
Visible roof areas
Where roof areas are visible from parts of the building or surrounding areas, neat detailing and workmanship matter as much as waterproofing performance.
Different roof levels
Large buildings can include multiple roof levels, upstands, edges, rooflights and architectural features that all need carefully detailed.
Long-term performance
Well-installed single ply roofing can continue to perform for many years when the system is installed and detailed properly.
