Over the decades, we have handled everything from minor leaks in tenement cupolas to full slate roof replacements and flat roof repairs. Our team has grown through word-of-mouth recommendations from local property owners who appreciate our honest approach.

Josh and the team take pride in every slate laid, tile pointed, and gutter cleared across the city.

What Edinburgh Homeowners Say About Us
What Edinburgh Homeowners Say About Us
After having had 3 previous but failed attempts to fix our leaking slate roof, by three different roofers, we contacted GDM. Josh quickly and confidently highlighted the problem and arranged a quote to repair the roof. Two rainy nights later, not even a drip.
Josh came out, explained everything that needed to be done and gave a very fair quote. Throughout the project Josh kept me updated by sending photos and text messages. His and his colleagues' workmanship was excellent.
Josh and Alex did an excellent job of resetting and pointing several tiles on the hip of our bungalow as well as replacing two worn out fascia boards. Both behaved in a professional manner throughout.
