About East Kilbride and the G74 area
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
From Hamilton to East Kilbride is roughly 6 miles — all part of the Lanarkshire area we cover.
If you're just outside East Kilbride, we also cover Cambuslang (3 miles), Rutherglen (5 miles), Hamilton (6 miles).
