Quick Quote OnlineMoss 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What happens first
When a gale has stripped a run of slates or a ridge tile is hanging over the pavement, the first job is to make it safe: loose pieces down, the hole covered, the water stopped from coming through the ceiling. That is a temporary cover, and we say so. Its job is to hold until the proper repair is surveyed and priced.
We do not price the full repair from the pavement in the rain, and we do not price it from a photo either. Once the roof is safe and dry inside, the survey looks at the whole roof, because a storm that took three slates has usually loosened more. The survey and the written price are how we work on every job, and an urgent one is no exception.
Then the repair
After the make-safe, the full repair goes in writing with the photographs from the roof, and it stays the price for the work described. You decide when it goes ahead. If the storm has shown that the roof is finished rather than damaged, the survey says so plainly; if it is damaged, the permanent fix is an ordinary roof repair with matched slates and new fixings.
The photographs and the itemised quote are written so they can be passed on to a factor, a landlord or the other owners in a tenement without rewriting. Once the repair is done it is photographed again from the roof, and the materials are warranty-backed with the terms in your paperwork.

Quick Quote OnlineThe other jobs we do
Once the roof is safe, the rest of the job is a repair like any other, and every roofing service we offer is surveyed first and priced in writing.
Rotten fascia boards, sagging gutters and soffits that let the birds in, fixed as one run of roofline. We replace fascias and guttering together so the brackets hold and the water goes down the pipe.

Lifted lead flashing round chimneys, valleys and abutments is where most Glasgow leaks start. We strip the old lead work, dress new lead properly and seal the joint so the ceiling stays dry.
Fix Lead Flashing On Your Roof
Ponding felt, blistered seams and a flat roof that drips in a downpour. We repair what can be saved and lay EPDM rubber roofing over what cannot, with the edges detailed for the rain.

Straight answers
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.
Anything that is dangerous or letting water in now. Slates or tiles hanging over a pavement or a path, a ridge lifted by the wind, water coming through a ceiling or running down a wall, flashing torn off a chimney in a storm. If it can wait for a dry day and a survey, it is a repair. If it cannot, message us and say what you can see.
We tell you when you get in touch, not on a web page. A time promised here to everyone is a guess, and a guess is no use when the water is coming in. Send the postcode and what you can see, hanging slates, a wet ceiling, a hole, and you get a straight answer on when someone can be on the roof and what will be done first.
No, and we say so. The make-safe stops the water and takes the danger off the pavement. It is a cover, not the repair. The permanent fix is surveyed once the roof is safe, matched to the existing slates or tiles and priced in writing, and you decide when it goes ahead.
No. The make-safe is one job and the full repair is another with its own written price. No pressure at the door: you get the photographs from the roof and the itemised quote, and you decide when to go ahead. If the storm has shown that the roof is finished rather than damaged, the survey says so, and the re-roof is priced as a slate or tile re-roof with the make-safe already done.
Yes. Slates off a tenement land on a busy pavement, so making it safe comes first and the shared-ownership conversation comes second. The photographs and the itemised quote are written to go round the close or to a factor, and we are used to one owner starting it and the rest joining once they have seen the pictures.
