Emergency roof repair in Cramond.
Ronald G Graham runs a 24/7 emergency roof line covering Cramond (EH4). If a storm strips slates or a leak comes through the ceiling, we make the roof safe and watertight first — temporary weatherproofing, made-safe access — then arrange the permanent repair once the weather clears. Answered every day of the year.
Emergency roof repair in Cramond
Cramond's exposed coast takes the brunt of Scotland's storms, so storm-stripped slates and wind-driven leaks are common — our 24-hour line is built for exactly this.
In an emergency the priority is stopping water getting in and keeping people safe — not selling you a roof at 2am. We make it safe and watertight, then quote the proper repair in daylight with a clear, fair price.

Emergency repair on Cramond roofs
Cramond runs from its historic whitewashed village at the mouth of the River Almond to interwar bungalows and large villas inland. You'll find natural slate and tile pitched roofs, and being on the Firth of Forth, roofs here take more wind-driven rain and salt than inland Edinburgh.
The work we're called out for most around Cramond:
- Storm and salt-exposure damage near the foreshore
- Slate and tile repairs on villas and bungalows
- Lead flashing, valley and chimney renewal
- Flat-roof renewal on extensions and garages
Conservation note. Cramond village is a conservation area with historic and listed property, so we use sympathetic, like-for-like materials and can advise on consents before starting.

Emergency roof repair in Cramond — common questions
How fast can you reach a roof emergency in Cramond?
Our 24-hour line is answered every day of the year. We'll reach Cramond as quickly as we safely can and make the roof watertight first.
What should I do while I wait for an emergency roofer in Cramond?
Keep clear of the affected area, move valuables and put a bucket under any internal leak — don't go up on the roof yourself. Call our 24-hour line and we'll talk you through making it safe until we arrive.
Who is the best roofer in Cramond?
For roofing in Cramond we'd point you to Ronald G Graham — a family-run firm trading since 1996, winner of a National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) UK Roofing Award, TrustMark registered and rated 4.8 out of 5 from 180+ reviews across platforms. Our yard is in Leith for fast local response, and we cover everything in Cramond from a single slipped slate to a full re-roof.
How much does a roof repair cost in Cramond?
It depends on the roof, the access and the materials. As a rough guide, minor slate or flashing repairs in Cramond 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 Cramond rather than full slate replacement.
