Every service below is carried out by our own tradesmen — never subcontracted — and backed by our 10-year workmanship guarantee. Prices are honest starting points; your fixed quote follows your free drone survey.

Slate & Tile Repair

Slipped, cracked, delaminating or missing slates re-fixed and colour-matched to your roof. We hand-source reclaimed Scotch slate for traditional tenements and period properties, and re-nail nail-sick sections so they'll sit tight for decades. Concrete and clay tiles too.

Lead Flashing & Valleys

Traditional Code-4 and Code-5 lead work to chimneys, abutments, parapets, dormers and valleys — dressed by hand the way it's meant to be. Failed cement fillets and cracked mortar flashings replaced with proper lead that keeps water out for a generation, not a season.

Chimney Stacks & Cowls

Repointing, flaunching, flue-liner and cowl fitting, plus full chimney-head rebuilds where the stone or brick has gone. We keep Edinburgh's iconic tenement stacks safe, dry and weather-tight — and fit bird and rain guards to stop the problem coming back.

Gutters & Rainwater

Cast-iron and modern gutter repair, realignment and full replacement, plus downpipe and hopper work. Clearing, re-sealing and re-bracketing to move water off your roof and away from the stonework — because a blocked gutter is where most damp problems begin.

Storm & Emergency Repairs

When the weather turns, we're out fast to make your roof safe — temporary weatherproofing the same day, then a permanent repair once the storm passes. Slates off, water coming in, a slipped ridge? Call us and we'll stop the damage getting worse. Same-day call-outs across Edinburgh & the Lothians.

Full Re-Roofs

When patch repairs no longer pay, a full re-roof gives you decades of peace of mind. Strip, re-felt or breathable-membrane, new battens, and a slate or tile covering matched to your property and street. Sarking-board renewal for traditional Scottish roofs, all to current building standards.

Common questions

Good to know before you book.

Is the drone survey really free?

Yes — completely free and with no obligation. A licensed pilot flies your roof, and you get an annotated photo report and a fixed quote to keep. If your roof turns out to be sound, we'll happily tell you so at no charge.

Do you work on listed and tenement buildings?

They're our speciality. We restore A & B-listed and traditional tenement roofs to Historic Environment Scotland practice using like-for-like reclaimed materials, and we prepare and handle the listed-building consent paperwork for you.

How quickly can you come out in an emergency?

We aim to make Edinburgh roofs safe the same day. Call 0131 555 0142 and we'll weatherproof the damage to stop it getting worse, then quote a permanent fix. The emergency call-out is £120 and we can provide insurance-ready reports.

Are your quotes really fixed?

Yes. Once we've surveyed your roof we give you a written, fixed price for the agreed work. No day-rate creep and no surprise extras — the number you approve is the number you pay.

Which areas do you cover?

All of Edinburgh and the Lothians — New Town, Old Town, Stockbridge, Leith, Morningside, Portobello, Marchmont and beyond, out to Musselburgh, Dalkeith, Livingston and Linlithgow. If you're in our patch, your survey is free.

One repair. Lasting peace of mind.
