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 we look for
Water tracks. A stain on a bedroom ceiling can start at a cracked ridge tile three metres away, a valley full of moss, or flashing that has pulled away from the chimney. The survey walks the roof, checks the felt and battens from inside where there is loft access, and photographs what it finds.
You get the photographs and a plain description of what needs doing now, what can wait, and what is fine. Then the price goes in writing. Nobody prices a Glasgow roof from the pavement, and we do not price one from a photo either, because that is how we work on every roof.
How the repair runs
Slate is matched to slate and tile to tile, so the repair carries the same weight and reads the same from the street. Broken pieces come out, sound ones stay, and the fixings are replaced rather than reused. Where the felt has gone under a patch, it is renewed before the covering goes back.
The work is photographed again when it is finished, so you can see the repair without climbing a ladder. The materials are warranty-backed and the terms sit in your paperwork with the quote. If water is coming in right now, an emergency roofer makes the roof safe and dry first and the proper repair is priced after.
Where we work
The city and the towns around it, north and south of the Clyde. If yours is not on the list, send us the postcode and we will tell you straight.

Quick Quote OnlineThe other jobs we do
A repair often shows up something else on the roof. These are the other jobs we do, and every roofing service we offer starts the same way: survey first, then the price 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.

Moss holds water against the slates and slides into the gutters every winter. Roof moss removal lifts it off by hand, clears the gutters and treats the roof so it stays off for far longer.

Loose pots, crumbling mortar and damp on the chimney breast mean the stack needs looking at. Chimney repair covers repointing, new flaunching, cowls and lead, or taking the stack down cleanly.

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.
We survey the whole roof rather than the spot above the stain, because water tracks along slates, felt and timbers before it shows inside. Ridges, valleys, flashings and the felt under the covering are all checked and photographed, and the report tells you exactly which one is letting the water in.
No. Every repair starts with a no-obligation survey and the price goes in writing after it. A price from a photo or a phone call is a guess, and a guess gets revised once someone is on the roof. Ours is the price you were given, unless we open up the roof and find something the survey could not see, in which case we stop and show you first.
Usually, yes. Most slate roofs in Glasgow fail one slate, one valley or one flashing at a time, and those are repaired with matched slate and new fixings. If the survey finds the nails have rotted across the whole roof, the honest answer is a re-roof, and we say so rather than patching something that will be back next winter; the re-roof is then priced as a pitched roofing job with the slates matched to the street.
We stop, show you what we have found, and put the extra in writing before carrying on. The written quote covers the work described in it, and you decide on anything beyond that with the photographs in front of you.
Yes. Tenement roofs are shared between owners, so the survey report is written to be passed round the close or to a factor, and the quote is itemised for the same reason. We are used to one owner starting the conversation and the rest joining once they have seen the photographs.
