Livingston Roofers
Roofing Services Across Livingston
Livingston is West Lothian's largest town, built mainly from the 1960s to 1980s as one of Scotland's new towns. This means most of the housing stock is now 40 to 60 years old — reaching the age where roofs need significant attention. From the original estates in Deans and Knightsridge to the newer private developments in Murieston, we understand the specific roofing challenges Livingston properties face and have worked extensively across the EH54 postcode area.
The predominantly modern construction in Livingston features concrete tile roofs, flat roofs on garages and extensions, and some newer pitched roof developments. Properties from the 1960s and 70s are now reaching the point where original roofs need replacing — concrete tiles become porous and brittle over time. Whether it's a terraced house in Dedridge, a semi-detached in Howden, or a detached villa in Murieston, we deliver the same standard of workmanship.

Roofing Livingston's New Town Era
Livingston was designated a new town in 1962 and built out through the 1970s and 80s. Most properties have concrete tile pitched roofs, flat extensions, and underfelts now reaching the end of their original design life. We've worked across Dedridge, Knightsridge, Howden, Deans, and Murieston for years.
- Concrete tile replacement: tiles from the 1970s are now porous, brittle, and breaking in numbers
- Flat roof renewal: extensions, garages, and small bungalows - felt, EPDM, GRP all available
- Original underfelt failure: 40-50 year old felt now visibly perished in many EH54 lofts
- Newer estate work: private developments in Murieston and Bellsquarry handled to the same standard
We re-roof several Livingston homes a month - the patterns are well understood and the pricing is predictable.

"Pentland Roofing Ltd stripped and re-slated my whole roof. The roof was a complex mix of angles, valleys and pitch which the team handled very professionally. All are skilled craftsmen and a very pleasant crew to work with. The quote for the work was returned promptly and was very fair. The work was completed in a timely manner and the site was left neat and tidy. Dean and Ross and their team at Pentland Roofing are a wonderful company and I would happily recommend them to anyone wanting quality roof works done."

"New roof: Pentland Roofing have done an excellent job. They were recommended to me by another roofing company who said job was too big for them. After my initial contact to quote for the job, they arrived on time talked it all through with me and sent through costings very quickly. Work completed much quicker than estimated as team of people working on project and worked right through a very hot spell. Came out on a Sunday to check everything secure when a storm predicted - really impressed with that. Good communication throughout. Highly recommend them if you need roof repairs."

Which Option?
Repair, Re-Roof or Call Now?
Not every roof problem needs a new roof. Here is how we help Livingston homeowners decide.
Repair is enough when...
- A handful of slates or tiles have slipped, cracked or blown off
- A single flashing, valley or ridge has failed
- The timbers and sarking underneath are sound
- The rest of the roof still has years left in it
Re-slate or re-roof when...
- Slates are nail-sick and slipping across the whole roof, not just one patch
- You are paying for repairs every winter
- There is widespread rot in the sarking or timbers
- The roof is at end of life and you want it done once, properly
Call now (urgent) when...
- Water is coming into the property
- Storm damage has left slates, tiles or lead loose above a street or garden
- A chimney, ridge or section of roof looks unstable
- You need it made safe and weathertight today
Us vs a cheap patch job. A quick patch with sealant or a couple of slates pushed back in can stop a drip for a season. It rarely fixes the cause. We survey the whole roof first, tell you honestly whether a repair will hold or whether you are better spending the money on a proper strip and re-slate, and put it all in writing. If a repair is the right answer, that is what we quote for.

FAQ
Common Roofing Questions
Answers to frequently asked questions about roofing services in Livingston.
Complete roofing across Livingston including slating, tiling, flat roofing, and lead work. We work on all Livingston property types from original 1960s–70s new town housing in Deans and Knightsridge to modern estates in Murieston.
Many original Livingston properties from the 1960s–80s are now reaching the age where concrete tiles become porous and brittle. If your roof is leaking in multiple places or tiles are crumbling, a full re-roof is usually more cost-effective than continued repairs. We'll give you an honest assessment.
Ageing concrete tile roofs are the biggest issue in Livingston. Original 1960s–70s tiles become porous and crack. We also see a lot of flat roof failures on garages and extensions, deteriorating ridge mortar, and leaking valleys. Newer estates can develop issues with poorly installed flashings.
