Which flat roofs are common in Dundee City?
Flat roofs in Dundee City sit on terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms, 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches and 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions. 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.
Building standards in Scotland
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. Section 6 of the technical handbooks sets a domestic roof benchmark of 0.12 W/m²K, applied as far as reasonably practicable on an existing roof. In Dundee City the application goes to Dundee City Council (building standards). More on the rules.
Which flat roof system suits a kitchen extension?
On a plain rectangular extension, EPDM rubber is a strong, quiet choice that can often be laid in one sheet. It handles the slight movement between an extension and the house well.
Where the roof has a lantern, several rooflights or an internal corner, GRP fibreglass forms neat, rigid details around each one. Torch-on felt is a proven layered system and keeps costs down, though near timber cladding or at fragile junctions we may prefer a cold-applied method. If the extension is overlooked from upstairs windows, a sedum green roof is worth considering, provided the structure can take the extra load.
Whatever the membrane, the insulation sits above the deck as a warm roof. Our warm vs cold roof guide explains why.

Is EPDM or GRP better for a kitchen extension?
Neither is better in every case. EPDM suits simple rectangular roofs with few details, while GRP is often chosen where there are rooflights, corners or occasional foot traffic.
Can you keep my existing roof lantern?
Often, if the lantern itself is sound. We lift it, rebuild the kerb, dress the new membrane up the upstand and refit the lantern.
Can a sedum roof go on my extension?
Possibly, if the structure can carry the extra weight and the roof has suitable falls and drainage. We check the joists at survey before recommending it.
