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.
When a re-roof is the answer
A slate roof in Glasgow fails one slate at a time until the nails have rusted through across the whole slope. Then every gale drops another two on the path, and a repair is money spent on a roof that is finished. The survey tells you which side of that line your roof is on, with photographs, before anyone talks about a re-roof.
If the roof can be repaired, we say so and price the repair. If it cannot, one roofing contractor itemises the re-roof: strip, timber checks, felt, battens, covering, leadwork, scaffold. A bigger job does not change how we work: the survey first, then the price in writing.
How the re-roof runs
The old covering comes off and the timbers are checked before anything goes back. Rotten rafters and sarking are cut out and replaced, then the new felt and battens go on and the slates or tiles are laid to match the street. Ridges, hips and valleys are done in the same job, and the lead at the chimney and abutments is renewed, not reused.
The scaffold goes up before we start and comes down when the roof is finished, with the drive swept behind it. The roof is photographed from above before and after, so you see the timbers, the felt and the finished covering rather than take our word for it. The slate and tile detail on the slopes, the ridge and the valleys is the same pitched roofing work as on a single-slope repair.
What you are left with
The price is fixed in writing before the scaffold goes up, and it covers the work described. If we open the roof and find timber the survey could not see, we stop, photograph it and put the extra in writing before carrying on. Warranty-backed materials only, with the terms in your paperwork.
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.

A full re-roof is the biggest job on the list, not the only one, and every roofing service we offer starts the same way: the survey, 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.

Slipped slates, cracked tiles, a wet patch that shows up after every front. A roofer surveys the whole roof first, then the repair is priced in writing so you know exactly what is being fixed.

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.
On a full re-roof, the contractor runs the whole job rather than one part of it. That means the scaffold, the strip, the timber checks, the felt and battens, the slates or tiles, the leadwork and the clearing up, all under one written price. A roofing contractor is what you want when the roof is being replaced rather than repaired, because one person is answerable for every part of it.
You do not have to know. The survey looks at the nails, the felt, the battens and the timbers, not just the slates you can see from the street, and the report says plainly whether a repair will hold or whether the roof is finished. Where a repair is the honest answer, we price that roof repair instead, as a separate job with its own written quote.
Yes. Scaffold is part of the job and part of the written price, so you are not arranging it separately or finding a second invoice. It goes up before the strip starts and comes down when the roof is finished and checked, and the drive is swept before we leave.
That is what the survey is for. Slate is matched to the slate on the neighbouring roofs and tile to tile, in weight and colour, so a re-roofed house on a Glasgow terrace or a tenement does not stand out from the pavement. Ridge and hip tiles are chosen to suit the covering rather than whatever is on the van.
The price is in writing before any work starts and it stays the price for the work described in it. The one exception is timber the survey could not see under the covering. If we find it, we stop, photograph it and put the extra in writing before going on. You decide with the photographs in front of you.
