Which flat roofs are common in Angus?
Flat roofs in Angus sit on terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms, shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats and low-rise post-war blocks of flats. 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 Angus the application goes to Angus Council (building standards). More on the rules.
Which system should I replace my flat roof with?
The right system depends on the roof's size, shape, use and number of details, so no single material suits every roof. These are the usual starting points:
- EPDM rubber suits simple, rectangular roofs, where one sheet can often cover the area with few or no joins.
- GRP fibreglass suits roofs with many corners, rooflights or edges, and gives a rigid surface for occasional maintenance traffic.
- Torch-on felt is a layered, hard-wearing system that keeps the cost down on larger or plain roofs.
- Liquid-applied systems handle awkward details and can overlay a sound existing surface.
- Single-ply and mastic asphalt are more usual on commercial roofs, blocks and terraces.
We recommend a system at survey and explain why. Our EPDM vs GRP vs felt guide sets out the trade-offs if you want to compare first.

Do I need to be at home while the roof is replaced?
Not for most of the job, as long as the team can reach the roof and there is room for a skip. We ask you to be there at the start to agree the plan and at the end to look over the finished roof.
What guarantees come with a replacement roof?
Every re-roof comes with a written workmanship guarantee, with the length set out in your quote. Manufacturer material guarantees are available on many systems and we register them for you where the system allows; ask about insurance-backed options too.
Will a replacement make my roof higher?
Usually a little, if insulation is added above the deck. We check door thresholds, window sills, upstands and wall flashings at survey so the new level works.
