A flat roof mid job, tools and materials out across it
  • 01

    Roof repairs

    Slipped and cracked slates, ridge tiles, leaks, storm damage. Most repairs are a single visit.

    • Slipped, cracked and missing slates, loose ridge tiles, failed lead flashing
    • We look before we price. Nobody can quote a roof from the ground
    • Most repairs are one visit. Anything needing scaffolding, we say so up front
  • 02

    Slate and tile roofing

    Full strips and re-slates, patch repairs, felt and batten replacement. Traditional Scottish slate and modern tile.

    • A re-slate replaces the slates, the felt and the battens, which is what stops the water
    • Reclaimed Scottish slate or new, whichever suits the building
    • Ridges rebedded and the lead renewed while the scaffold is already up
  • 03

    Chimneys and lead work

    Chimney repairs, reharling, pot replacement and removal. Lead flashings, valleys and soakers.

    • Repointing, reharling, pot replacement, rebuilds and taking a stack down for good
    • Flashings, soakers, valleys and aprons, done in lead rather than mastic
    • Nine chimney leaks out of ten are the flashing, not the stack
  • 04

    Flat roofing and skylights

    Flat roof repairs and replacement, shared tenement roofs, skylight and rooflight fitting.

    • Flat roof repairs and full replacements
    • Shared tenement roofs, documented so whoever's organising it can justify the split

  • 05

    Emergency call outs

    Normal hours are 8 to 5, but if water's coming in we'll come out whenever it is.

    • Normal hours are 8 to 5 weekdays and 8:30 to 12:30 on a Saturday
    • Out of hours, if it's bad enough, we'll come out
    • Made watertight first, repaired properly once the weather allows

Not sure what you need?

Most people ring us because something's leaking and they don't know why. That's fine. We'll come and look, get up there, photograph what we find, and tell you whether it's a fifty pound fix or a job worth doing properly. The looking is free.
