Which flat roofs are common in Moray?
Flat roofs in Moray sit on terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms, 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions 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 Moray the application goes to Moray Council (building standards). More on the rules.
Which roofing system is best for a garage?
For most single garages, EPDM rubber is a strong choice, because a simple rectangle can usually be covered in one sheet with no joins in the field of the roof. It is light, flexible and quick to lay.
GRP fibreglass suits garages with integral box gutters, several corners or a roof that is walked on to reach windows or clean gutters. Torch-on felt remains a cost-effective, durable option, particularly on larger lock-up runs where budget matters. Where a garage adjoins timber or other combustible material, we also consider whether a torch-free system is the safer method, such as EPDM, GRP or a liquid-applied coating.
If you plan to convert the garage later, say so at survey. A roof built as a warm roof now saves stripping it again when the room is heated.

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.
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.
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.
