What a Re-Roof Includes

A new roof is more than the covering you can see. Every re-roof covers the whole job:

  • Stripping the old covering
  • Checking and replacing rotten sarking, battens and timbers
  • New breathable membrane
  • New slates or tiles to match the street
  • New ridge, flashings and ventilation
  • Gutters and downpipes checked or renewed
  • Site cleared and waste removed
Choose the covering

Slate, Tile or Flat

Three coverings, one team. We fit all of them and will tell you which suits your roof, your street and your budget.

Natural Slate

Traditional Edinburgh roofs

The right covering for traditional Edinburgh properties, from tenements to villas. We match new slate to the existing street so the roof line looks the way it should.

Concrete or Clay Tile

Newer homes and extensions

The usual choice for newer homes and extensions, with a wide range of profiles and colours to suit the property.

Flat Roofing

Dormers, garages, extensions

Flat roofs for dormers, garages and extensions, handled by the same team as part of the same job.

Simple from start to finish

How It Works

Three steps from first contact to a fixed price, and you stay in control the whole way.

Form or phone, whichever suits

Fill in the form or call 07801 550555 and tell us about the roof, the property and what has been happening.

2. Free survey

We come to you

We visit, check the roof properly and explain what we found in plain English, including whether a repair would do instead.

3. Fixed written quote

No pressure, no obligation

You get a fixed written quote for the work. Take your time to decide, there is no obligation and no chasing.

Timings, guarantee & tenements

Re-Roofing Work We've Done Locally

A typical semi takes one to two weeks on site, depending on weather and what we find under the old covering. Every re-roof comes with a workmanship guarantee put in writing before we start. And we're well used to tenement and shared roofs, where the cost is split between owners: one itemised quote for the whole stair, and the work arranged around everyone.

Good to know

Roof Replacement Questions, Answered

How do I know if I need a new roof or a repair?

The usual signs are many slipped slates, repeated leaks in different places, sagging, or daylight showing in the loft. We inspect the roof and give you both options, a repair price and a replacement price, so you can decide.

How long does a re-roof take?

It depends on the size of the roof and the weather. We give you a timescale with the quote so you know what to expect before anything starts.

What affects the cost of a new roof?

The main factors are the size and pitch of the roof, slate versus tile, how much of the timber underneath needs replacing, and the scaffolding and access the job needs. No two roofs come out the same, which is why we survey first. Every quote is free, written and no obligation.

Do you match the existing slate on a tenement?

Yes. We match the colour and size of the existing slate so the roof line looks right against the rest of the building and the street.

Do you deal with scaffolding?

Yes. We arrange the scaffolding as part of the job and include it in the quote, so there is nothing for you to organise.

Is the quote free?

Yes. The quote is free, written and no obligation. We put the price on paper and leave the decision with you, no pressure.

Think Your Roof Is On Its Last Winter?

Free survey, straight answers and a fixed written quote for your roof replacement. And if it can be repaired instead, we will tell you.
