Which flat roofs are common in Angus?
Flat roofs in Angus sit on shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats, bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers 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.
What if my garage roof is asbestos cement or old felt?
If your garage has corrugated cement sheets, especially on a pre-2000 building, assume they could contain asbestos until a test says otherwise. We do not remove asbestos; any suspected material is tested and, if confirmed, removed by a licensed specialist before our work starts.
Once the old sheets have gone, the garage usually needs new timber joists or purlins and a deck before a membrane can go on. Old felt garages are more straightforward: the felt is stripped and the deck assessed in the usual way.
Lock-up blocks and rows of garages bring their own issues. A shared roof often has several owners, so we can quote per bay, or for the whole run where everyone agrees, which keeps the edges and joins between garages consistent. Attached garages need careful upstands and flashings where the roof meets the house wall, while detached ones are about edges, gutters and falls.

How much does a new garage roof cost in Angus?

Should I insulate my garage roof?
Only if the garage is heated or you plan to use it as a room. Insulating a cold, unheated garage roof can cause condensation unless it is designed carefully, so we advise case by case.
Can you put a new roof on a garage with a cement sheet roof?
Yes, once any suspected asbestos has been tested and removed by a licensed specialist. The garage then usually needs new timbers and a deck before the new membrane goes on.
Can a garage roof be replaced in one day?
A small single garage with a sound deck can often be stripped and re-covered in a day. Deck repairs, a double garage or poor weather can stretch it to two or three.
