Roofing and Edinburgh homes

Edinburgh's housing ranges from the Georgian terraces and flats of the New Town (part of the Old and New Towns UNESCO World Heritage Site) and Victorian tenements in Marchmont and Leith, to the stone 'colonies' terraces, interwar bungalows in Corstorphine and newer estates on the city edges.

Tenement roofs and gutters are usually common repairs shared between owners. A roofer can quote for the block, and the owners or factor normally agree the split.
Older stone houses in Scotland are usually roofed with natural slate. Matching slate and good leadwork matter for repairs.
Roof work on listed buildings or in conservation areas usually has to match the original materials, such as natural slate and lead.
Villas often have complex slate roofs with valleys, dormers and chimneys, and the leadwork needs regular checking.
Newer homes mostly have concrete-tile roofs, and the common jobs are ridge, verge and gutter repairs.

Areas covered include Old Town, New Town, Leith, Stockbridge, Morningside, Bruntsfield, Marchmont, Portobello, Corstorphine, Gorgie, Craigentinny, Gilmerton. Local authority: City of Edinburgh Council.

How it works

Tell us the job. Give a short description, your postcode and roughly when.
We pass it to one local tradesperson who covers your area and does that kind of work. We pick one, not five, so your phone won't ring all day.
They contact you to arrange a visit or a quote. You decide whether to go ahead.

To be upfront about what we are: we're an independent quote-request service, not a trade company. We don't vet, insure or guarantee anyone's work, so always get a written quote and check the registrations that apply to your job.
