Slate Roofing & Slating in Edinburgh

Edinburgh’s historic architecture relies heavily on durable natural slate. We specialize in sourcing, fixing, and replacing natural slates to maintain the authentic look and weather resistance of your property.

When You Need Slate Roofing & Slating

Slates sliding off the roof during high winds or heavy storms. White staining or moisture marks on interior ceilings beneath slate slopes. Rusting iron nails failing and causing multiple slates to slip out of alignment. Aged, brittle slates that are beginning to flake or crumble in place.

How We Do It

We assess the roof to identify failing fixings and damaged slates across the slope. -- EMD -- -- BLOCK: SVC_STEP_2 -- We carefully strip back damaged areas and inspect the underlying timber sarking boards. We hammer-fix new natural slates using secure, corrosion-resistant fixings. We repoint ridges and check surrounding flashings to ensure a completely watertight finish.

What to Expect

Individual slate replacements take a few hours, while larger area reslating projects generally take 3 to 7 days.
