Which flat roofs are common in Angus?
Flat roofs in Angus sit on lock-up garage blocks on estates, 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches 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 material looks best on a porch or bay roof?
For most porches, EPDM rubber gives a neat, dark grey finish that sits quietly on the front of a house, and on a small roof it can usually be laid as one piece. For angled bays and curved canopies, GRP fibreglass or a liquid-applied system follows the shape without folds or joins.
Many older bay windows and porches were finished in lead, which has a distinctive look. Where you want to keep that appearance, especially on a period house, we can discuss a lead-look finish or retaining lead flashings at the wall. On a listed building or in a conservation area, changing from lead to a membrane may need consent, so we check that at survey.
Colour matters more here than on a hidden rear roof. GRP topcoats come in several colours, and EPDM is typically black or dark grey.

Does a porch roof need a gutter?
Not always. Many small porches drip straight off the front edge, but a gutter helps over a doorway or path.
Can a bay window roof be replaced without scaffold?
A ground-floor bay usually can, using a tower or platform. A first-floor bay generally needs a small scaffold for safe access.
Why is my porch roof leaking when the felt looks fine?
The water is often coming from the wall junction, not the roof surface. A failed flashing, cracked mortar or porous brick above can let water in behind the upstand.
