Since you must have some grounding conductors connected to the tower for lightning protection, "insulated" from the roof isn't insulated from ground.  You don't say what band(s) you might be interest in, but I don't see an easy way to utilize this for much of anything other than holding up your tribander.

Trying to be creative with my space/visual limitations. I have a Glen Martin 18’ 
tower/10’ mast, with tribander and V/UHF Discone, atop of a 35’ roof. The tower legs 
are on concrete blocks, insulated from the roof.

Thinking about using the tower as a vertical. I have a remote tuner I can use 
at the base. Can throw out a few resonant radials, too. Thoughts?  Advice?
