Professional Roofer in Edinburgh

Roofing costs in Edinburgh vary depending on the scope of work. Minor repairs typically start from around £150–£300, while a full slate roof replacement on a standard Edinburgh tenement or semi-detached property can range from £5,000 to £15,000. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you know the exact cost before any work begins.

Scottish slate is the traditional and most popular choice for Edinburgh properties, particularly for the Georgian and Victorian tenements found across Morningside, Bruntsfield, Marchmont, and the New Town. Slate is naturally resistant to Edinburgh's wet climate and can last over 100 years when properly installed. For modern builds and extensions, concrete tiles or flat roofing systems are also excellent options.

Most roof repairs and like-for-like replacements in Edinburgh don't require planning permission as they fall under permitted development. However, if your property is in a conservation area such as Edinburgh's New Town, Stockbridge, or Dean Village, or if it's a listed building, you will likely need conservation area consent. We can advise you on the requirements for your specific property and help with any necessary applications.

A standard roof replacement on an Edinburgh property typically takes 3 to 7 working days, depending on the size of the roof and the materials used. Tenement roof work may take longer due to access requirements and scaffolding. Weather can also affect timelines, though we plan around Edinburgh's conditions and keep you informed throughout the project.
