Which flat roofs are common in Dundee City?
Flat roofs in Dundee City sit on low-rise post-war blocks of flats, shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats and 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches. 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.
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.
Not sure whether your roof needs replacing? Our guide to repair or replace sets out the signs.

Can you replace a shared garage roof in a block?
Yes. We can quote for one garage in a row or the whole block, and we take care with the joins between bays so neighbouring roofs stay watertight.
Is it worth repairing a garage roof instead?
If the roof is generally sound and dry with one isolated defect, a repair is usually sensible. Widespread cracking, a soft deck or repeat leaks point to replacement.
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.
