Trusted roof repairs across Edinburgh

Edinburgh's weather is hard on roofs. Driving rain off the Forth, winter freeze-thaw, and the occasional Atlantic storm all take their toll - particularly on the city's older slate and tile roofs. We carry out roof repairs on every kind of Edinburgh property, from New Town tenements and Victorian villas to modern commercial premises.

Most repairs we're called to are localised - a slipped slate, a failed flashing around a chimney, a cracked tile, or a blocked valley pushing water back under the roof covering. We'll find the actual source, explain clearly what's needed, and price the work fairly.

Traditional materials, traditional skills

On listed and traditional buildings we use matching natural slate, lime mortar where appropriate, and properly dressed lead - the materials your roof was built with and the only ones that will sit right and last. On modern roofs we work with the manufacturer-approved tile, fixing and underlay systems.

Honest advice, free quotes

We won't talk you into a full re-roof if a repair will do, and we won't patch something that genuinely needs replacing. You'll get an honest assessment and a written, no-obligation quote - then it's your decision.
