Which flat roofs are common in East Dunbartonshire?
Flat roofs in East Dunbartonshire sit on low-rise post-war blocks of flats, lock-up garage blocks on estates and shops with flat-roofed rear stores below 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 East Dunbartonshire the application goes to East Dunbartonshire Council (building standards). More on the rules.
How long does a garage roof replacement take?
A single garage roof is typically finished in one or two days, and a double garage in two or three, weather permitting. Deck repairs and new fascias add time.
Disruption is light. You will need to empty or cover anything stored in the garage, because dust and debris can fall through gaps in an old deck during the strip. The garage door may be out of use for part of the job, and the car is best parked elsewhere so a skip can sit on the drive. We keep the roof weathertight at the end of each day.

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 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.
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.
