Our skilled team combines traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to look after all types of roofing — from heritage slate and tile to modern flat roof systems — safely and efficiently.
Why Routine Roof Care Matters
Scotland’s weather can be unpredictable. Constant rain, frost, and high winds cause gradual wear that may go unnoticed until problems appear. Cracked tiles, blocked gutters, or loose flashing can quickly lead to water damage and expensive repairs.
Planned roof care identifies these small issues early. With routine inspections and cleaning, you’ll protect your property, preserve its value, and avoid the cost of emergency call-outs.
Detailed checks for cracked or missing tiles, damaged flashing, or early signs of water ingress.
Clearing moss, leaves, and debris to keep water draining correctly and prevent damp or staining
Gentle, safe cleaning that restores your roof’s appearance and prevents moisture build-up.
Repairs around chimneys, skylights, and valleys to prevent leaks in exposed areas.
Inspection and repair of fascias, soffits, and bargeboards to preserve ventilation and structure.

FAQs – Roof Maintenance Services Edinburgh
We recommend a professional roof inspection at least once a year, ideally in spring or autumn. Edinburgh’s weather can be unpredictable, and annual checks help catch small issues like loose tiles, moss build-up, or worn flashings before they become expensive repairs.
Yes. Most roofing problems develop gradually and are hard to spot from ground level. Preventative maintenance allows us to identify hidden cracks, minor leaks, and early signs of damp before they cause visible damage inside your property.
We work on every type of roof — from traditional slate and tile to flat, felt, single-ply, and lead systems. Our team is experienced with both heritage properties and modern buildings, applying the right methods and materials for each roof type.
Typical signs include:
-
Missing or slipped slates and tiles
-
Water marks or damp patches on ceilings or walls
-
Overflowing or blocked gutters
-
Moss or algae growth
-
Loose flashing around chimneys or skylight
If you notice any of these, it’s best to arrange an inspection promptly.
