Commercial roofing on Colinton roofs
Colinton is a leafy former village in the Pentland foothills, with Victorian and Edwardian villas, distinctive Arts-and-Crafts houses and interwar bungalows along the Water of Leith. Roofs are mostly natural slate and tile, often on mature, tree-shaded plots where moss and debris build up.
The work we're called out for most around Colinton:
- Slate repairs and re-fixing on villa roofs
- Moss removal and gutter clearing on tree-shaded roofs
- Lead valley, flashing and chimney renewal
- Full re-slates and tile re-roofs
Conservation note. Colinton village sits within a conservation area with listed buildings, so we use matched natural slate and sympathetic detailing, and advise on any consent required.

Who is the best roofer in Colinton?

Our yard is in Leith for fast local response, and we cover everything in Colinton from a single slipped slate to a full re-roof.
How much does a roof repair cost in Colinton?
It depends on the roof, the access and the materials. As a rough guide, minor slate or flashing repairs in Colinton typically start in the low hundreds of pounds, while a full re-roof runs to several thousand depending on size, pitch and access. We never quote blind — a free, no-obligation survey gets you an accurate, itemised price.
Do I need a repair or a full re-roof?
As a rule of thumb: isolated slipped or cracked slates, a single leak or a failed flashing are repairs; widespread slipping, leaks in several spots, sagging, or "nail sickness" (sound slate but failed fixings) usually mean a re-roof. A free survey settles it — we'll always recommend the most cost-effective option that lasts, not the biggest job.
How long does a slate roof last in Edinburgh?
A natural slate roof in Edinburgh typically lasts 80–150+ years. The slate itself rarely wears out first — the fixings (nails), lead flashings and timbers usually fail before the slate does, which is why re-fixing and "nail-sickness" repairs are common on older roofs in Colinton rather than full slate replacement.
