  • Moss was sliding off our tenement roof into the gutters every winter. They cleared the lot, took the gutters back to clean metal and treated the slates. First dry close in years.

    Fiona M., Dennistoun Google

  • Lead flashing round the chimney on our slate roof had lifted and the bedroom ceiling was marking. Surveyed it, priced it in writing, redressed the lead properly. No drama, no upsell.

    Craig B., Bearsden Google

  • Flat roof on the kitchen extension started dripping during a downpour. They came out in the rain, patched it and stopped the water, then came back and put EPDM over the whole thing.

    Margaret K., Shawlands Google

  • New guttering and fascias the full length of the house. Old timber was rotten behind the boards, which they showed me before touching it. Tidy job and the price did not move.

    Tom R., Bishopbriggs Google

  • Chimney stack was shedding mortar onto the pavement. Repointed, new flaunching, cowls on both pots, lead tray at the base. Explained every step and left the close spotless.

    Aileen D., Partick Google

  • Two slipped slates and a cracked ridge after the January storms. Fixed the same week, matched the slate, and the written quote came before anyone went up a ladder.

    Stuart G., Rutherglen Google

About The Glasgow Roofer

A roofer who looks first.Then prices. Then works.

Survey first. Every job starts with a no-obligation survey. We get up, look at the slates, the flashings, the gutters and the stack, and tell you what needs doing now and what can wait. Then the price goes in writing. Nobody prices a Glasgow roof from the pavement. Want a date in the diary? Send us the postcode.

Materials that take the weather. Only weather-resistant, warranty-backed materials go on. Slate matched to slate on the pitched roofs, proper lead at the abutments, EPDM on the flat sections. The warranty terms sit in your paperwork, not in a conversation. What we use for each job is listed under each service.

Glasgow, and the towns the rain reaches. Tenements with shared roofs and back-court extensions, interwar semis, modern flats with roofs that pond. West-coast weather hits all of them sideways, and we work on all of them across the areas we cover, the city first and the towns after.

  1. Survey before price.

    Nobody prices a roof from the pavement. We get up, look at the slates, the flashings, the gutters, and tell you what is actually wrong. Then the price goes in writing. No obligation on you.

  2. Materials that take the weather.

    Only weather-resistant, warranty-backed materials go on. Scotch slate where slate belongs, proper lead at the abutments, EPDM on the flat sections. Nothing that will need doing again in three winters. What goes on for each job is set out under our roofing services.

  3. Built for Glasgow roofs.

    Victorian tenements with shared roofs and back-court extensions. Interwar semis with tired ridge tiles. Modern flats with flat roofs that pond. West-coast rain hits all of them sideways. We work on all of them, across Glasgow and the surrounding towns.

  4. Emergency work made safe first.

    Storm damage, an active leak, a slate hanging over the pavement. The first visit makes it safe and stops the water. The proper repair follows, priced in writing like everything else. If it is happening now, send us the postcode.

Straight answers

Asked on mostGlasgow roofs.

If your question is not here, send it through the contact page and we will answer it about your roof rather than roofs in general. The longer answers, with the reasons behind them, live in our roofing guides.

Why is there so much moss on Glasgow roofs?

Rain, shade and old slate. Moss holds water against the slates, lifts them over time and blocks the gutters when it slides off. We lift it off, clear the gutters and treat the roof so it stays off for longer.

Does EPDM rubber cope with a wet Glasgow winter?

Yes, when it is laid properly. EPDM is a single sheet with very few joints, so there is little for standing water to get into. Most flat roof failures we see are old felt or badly detailed edges, not the rubber.

Do you price a roof before you have seen it?

No. Every job starts with a no-obligation survey. We look at the roof, then the price goes in writing. A price from a photo is a guess, and guesses get revised later.

What do you class as emergency roofing?

Storm damage, an active leak coming through a ceiling, or slates hanging where they could fall on someone. The first visit makes it safe and stops the water. The full repair is then priced in writing.

Can you work on a shared tenement roof?

Yes. Tenement roofs are shared between owners, so the survey report is written so it can be passed round the close or to a factor. The quote is itemised for the same reason.

Is the quote fixed once it is in writing?

The written quote covers the work described in it. If we open up a roof and find something the survey could not see, we stop, show you, and put the extra in writing before carrying on.

Will you replace slates with tiles?

Not on a slate roof. Slate is matched to slate, weight for weight, so the roof structure and the look of the street stay right. Tile roofs get tile, matched the same way, so the repair reads as part of the roof.

What is included in guttering and fascia work?

Gutters, fascia boards and soffits together, because they fail together. Rotten fascia will not hold a gutter bracket, and a sagging gutter throws water down the wall. We fix the run as one job.

Do you leave a warranty?

The materials we use are warranty-backed and the terms sit in your paperwork with the quote, so what is covered is written down, not remembered. Ask before the work starts and we will show you exactly which parts of the job it applies to.

Which areas do you cover?

Glasgow and the surrounding towns: Rutherglen, Bishopbriggs, Bearsden, Giffnock, Renfrew, Cambuslang, Clarkston, Milngavie, Clydebank, Kirkintilloch, Newton Mearns, Paisley and the places between. Put your postcode in the quote form and we will confirm.
