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.

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.
