Musselburgh is a coastal town on the Firth of Forth, east of Edinburgh in East Lothian, and known as "the Honest Toun" — one of Scotland's oldest towns. Its position on the coast means roofing materials face unique challenges from salt air corrosion, wind-driven rain, and sea spray that accelerate deterioration of metal flashings, fixings, and mortar. We understand these coastal conditions and use appropriate materials to combat them.
The town has a diverse mix of property types: Victorian terraces and period properties along the High Street, Edwardian villas in Inveresk, post-war housing in Stoneyhill, and modern developments near the racecourse and Pinkie area. The River Esk runs through the town centre, and the EH21 postcode area sees everything from salt-corroded flashings to wind-lifted slates on exposed seaward elevations. We deliver the same quality workmanship to every Musselburgh property.

Yes. For coastal Musselburgh properties, we recommend stainless steel fixings, marine-grade lead, and corrosion-resistant flashings. Standard materials can fail prematurely in the salt air environment, so this is an important consideration.
