From the grand Victorian villas of the Ferry to the period stone houses lining the esplanade — Storm Guard provides roof repairs, new roofs, leadwork and all roofline work in Broughty Ferry and across Dundee. Free quotes, work guaranteed.
Storm Guard Roofing & Building are trusted local roofers serving Broughty Ferry — the sought-after seaside suburb known as "the Ferry" that sits on the eastern edge of Dundee overlooking the Tay estuary. With its handsome Victorian and Edwardian villas, period stone houses and established residential streets running down to the esplanade and beach, the Ferry has some of the finest — and most demanding — roofs in the area.
Being right on the edge of Dundee, Broughty Ferry is very much our local patch. We work here regularly, and we understand the character of the housing stock — from the grand detached villas close to Broughty Castle to the solid stone terraces and semis further inland. Whatever style of property you have in the Ferry, we have the experience to look after it properly.
Broughty Ferry's Victorian and Edwardian villas are some of the most impressive properties in the Dundee area, and their roofs reflect that — natural slate, ornate leadwork in valleys and around dormers, tall multi-flue chimney stacks and wide-span guttering systems. These roofs need tradespeople who respect the materials and understand how they should perform, not contractors who default to modern substitutes when the traditional solution is better.
We carry out careful slate repairs using matching natural slate wherever possible, re-dress and replace lead flashings correctly, and carry out thorough chimney repairs — including full stack repoints and rebuilds where necessary. When a period roof reaches the end of its life, we can carry out a complete natural slate re-roof to keep the character of the property intact.
Sitting on the Tay estuary, Broughty Ferry is exposed to coastal winds that can be considerably stronger than those a few miles inland. After a storm, slates slip, leadwork lifts and ridge mortar cracks — and on a large period villa, even a small defect can allow significant water ingress. We prioritise emergency call-outs in the Ferry to make roofs safe and watertight quickly, then return to carry out a permanent repair once the immediate risk is dealt with.
