Roofing Services Across South Queensferry
South Queensferry is a historic coastal town sitting in the shadow of the Forth Bridge on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth. Roofing here demands specialist knowledge — from the centuries-old stone buildings along the High Street conservation area to the modern estates of Builyeon Road, Echline, and Dalmeny. Each property type presents different challenges, and we understand exactly what's needed for both period and contemporary homes in the EH30 area.
The town's exposed position on the Forth estuary means properties face some of the harshest weather conditions in the Lothians. Winds funnel through the estuary, salt air corrodes fixings and flashings, and driving rain tests every roof to its limits. Conservation area restrictions on the historic High Street mean roofing work often requires specific materials and sympathetic approaches. We deliver the same high standard of workmanship whether it's a listed building or a new-build.

Roofing Queensferry's Historic Burgh
South Queensferry's conservation area runs along the High Street and Hopetoun Road, with A and B listed buildings facing the Firth of Forth. The town's exposed coastal position and historic character mean roofs here need both heritage-grade materials and coastal-spec corrosion protection.
- Listed building consent: for any external roof work on listed properties
- Salt-spec fixings and flashings: on every seaward elevation, not just the obviously exposed ones
- Traditional Scotch slate matching: for the conservation area's character compliance
- Modern estate work: Springfield, Burgess Road, and around the bridge approaches
Queensferry roofs sit at the intersection of heritage and coast - we handle both without compromise.

"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 South Queensferry 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.
