Pitched & flat roofs
Roofing Repairs & Restoration
A roof rarely fails all at once. It starts with a slipped slate, a blocked gutter or a tired stretch of flashing, and the damage works its way inward until it reaches the timbers and the rooms below. We repair, restore and renew roofs across Glasgow and the west of Scotland — and we are as happy to fix one slate as to strip and re-cover a whole roof.
Repairs and restoration
Most of the roofing we do is repair and restoration: replacing slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles, renewing worn flashings and mortar, sorting ridge and hip lines, and dealing with the small failures that let water in. Where a roof is generally sound but weathered, restoration brings it back to a watertight, tidy condition without the cost of a full replacement.
We look at why the fault happened, not just the fault itself. A recurring leak in the same spot usually has a cause worth finding — and fixing that is what stops you calling someone back next winter.
New roofs and re-roofing
When a roof has reached the end of its life — repeated failures, widespread slippage, or a covering that is simply worn out — re-roofing is often more sensible than patching. We strip the old covering, check and make good the structure beneath, and re-cover with a suitable slate, tile or flat-roof system.
Slate, tile and flat roofs
We work on natural and fibre-cement slate, concrete and clay tile, and flat-roof coverings including felt and single-ply systems. Different coverings age and fail in different ways, so the right repair depends on what you have and the condition it is in.
Guttering, fascias, chimneys and leadwork
Rainwater goods and roof detailing are where a lot of "roof" problems actually begin. We clear, repair and replace guttering, downpipes and fascias; repoint and rebuild chimney heads; and renew lead flashings, soakers and valleys where the existing leadwork has failed.
Worth knowing — Not every leak has the same cause, and some faults only become clear once we can see the roof properly. We assess first and tell you what we find.

Around chimneys, valleys and where the roof meets a wall.
