What flat roof work do we do in Dundee?
EPDM rubber roofing
Rubber is a sensible pick in Dundee where a roof sits close to bedrooms or a kitchen and you would rather avoid hot works. It suits porches, bays and dormers too, where the small area means a single sheet can cover the whole roof with no joins at all.
Warm roof insulation upgrades
Landlords with flats and HMOs in Dundee sometimes hear from tenants about cold top-floor rooms and black mould on ceilings. A warm roof upgrade during re-roofing tackles both the heat loss and the condensation behind the mould, and helps keep the roof timbers dry.
Liquid-applied roofing
For businesses and landlords in Dundee, a cold-applied liquid roof means no flame on site and, with some systems, a short cure time. That can make it easier to work around occupied buildings, tenants and opening hours than a system that needs hot works or a long strip-out.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Dundee?
In a large town like Dundee flat roofs are mostly on 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches and bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers. Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. Scotland averages roughly 1,570 mm of rain a year, with the west far wetter than the east, so drainage, falls and wind uplift are part of every specification we write. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Who approves flat roof work in Dundee?
Where approval is needed it goes to Dundee City Council building standards. In Scotland a building warrant is usually needed for alterations, structural work and new roofs; like-for-like repairs to a covering can be exempt. How the rules work.
