Flat roofs in Dundee City sit on newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced, lock-up garage blocks on estates and low-rise post-war blocks of flats.

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.
How long does a porch roof replacement take?
Most porch and bay roofs are replaced in a single day, weather permitting. GRP or liquid systems may need a return visit for a topcoat once the first coat has cured.
Disruption is minimal. You may need to use another door while a front porch is being re-roofed, and the area below should be kept clear for safety. A ground-floor bay can usually be reached from a tower or platform steps, while a first-floor bay may need a small scaffold. The window below stays usable, though it is best kept closed while resin is curing.
