A family name built on Edinburgh's roofs.
Founder Ronald Graham has been in the trade since 1983. The company he built is now run by the second generation — and trusted with everything from tenement repairs to the nation's heritage.
Est. 1996 · Leith, Edinburgh Big enough to cope, small enough to care.
Ronald Graham began his career after attending Telford College, winning Apprentice of the Year in 1983. He spent seven years gaining skills across the UK before founding Ronald G Graham Roofing & Building in 1996. A Fellow of the Institute of Roofing (FIoR) with an Advanced City & Guilds in roofing, Ronald brings four decades of craft and qualification to every project.
Since then, the company has steadily built its reputation and client base — proudly serving Edinburgh and the Lothians, and now operating from purpose-built premises in Gordon Street, Leith, with teams in Aberdeen and London. Today it's a family of 25+ dedicated professionals: certified surveyors, skilled tradespeople and supportive office staff.
