Flat Roofing
We offer advice and repairs to leaking old flat roofs and install maintenance-free new flat roofing systems using modern materials. Our flat roofing service caters for both domestic and commercial properties, large & small, including flat roof patios and balconies with Cupolas, Velux and dormer windows. We provide the highest quality workmanship to ensure the result is exactly how you imagined it, whatever your needs or budget.
Leadwork
Leadwork on both historic and modern buildings is a common sight in Edinburgh. Lead is normally used on flashings – joins between sections such as the roof tiles and chimney – to ensure everything remains wind & watertight. Lead has long been popular for this type of job because it’s extremely durable, weatherproof and looks aesthetically pleasing. Even before the availability of sheet lead, craftsmen shaped lead into flashings because they didn’t need replacing frequently.


Gutters & Downpipes
Gutters funnel water off the roof and away from your home, protecting roof, walls, windows, doors and foundations from water damage. It’s important to keep your gutters and downpipes in good repair to prevent costly bills in future. We’re experts in guttering maintenance, repair & replacement to fascias and soffits supporting your guttering. Whether your home has modern guttering or traditional cast iron rainwater goods commonly seen on Scottish tenement buildings, we can help.
Roof Maintenance
We provide roof maintenance throughout the Edinburgh area. It’s important to keep your roof in a good state of repair to avoid leaks and structural damage. Regular maintenance can spot potential roof problems before they happen and need a more expensive repair. We provide free quotes and advice on a range of affordable, professional roof maintenance services, including gutter and roofline clearing and cleaning, plus roof tile moss removal and valley gutter debris clearing.
