Quote questions

Before you send it over

Is the estimator price what I'll actually pay?

No — it's a budgeting guide only. Roofs hide surprises you can't see from the ground, which is exactly why we survey by drone before quoting. Your written fixed price comes after that survey, and once it's agreed, that's the price you pay — no day-rate add-ons.

How much is the drone survey?

It's £60 for first-time customers — half our usual £120, and it's fully refundable: we credit the £60 against any repair or project you commission, so it costs you nothing if we do the work (and it can go towards a larger project). There's no obligation, and you keep the footage either way.

My flat's in a listed tenement — is that a problem?

Not at all — it's our specialism. We work to Historic Environment Scotland conservation practice, match Scotch slate and lime mortar like-for-like, and handle listed-building consent and shared-roof liaison with your neighbours and factor where needed.

How quickly can you come out?

We usually reply within one working day and can often survey within the week. If water's coming in right now, call our 24-hour emergency line on 0131 555 0142 — flat £120 to make safe, then we quote the permanent repair.

Do you cover my part of Edinburgh?

We cover all of Edinburgh and the Lothians — New Town, Old Town, Stockbridge, Leith, Morningside, Portobello and everywhere between. If you're in the region, we can help.
