Commercial roofing on Dunbar roofs
Dunbar is a historic East Lothian harbour town of red sandstone and stone Victorian and Georgian property, traditional pantile harbour cottages and modern estates. Roofs are natural slate and clay pantile on the older town, tile on newer homes. Facing the open North Sea, Dunbar takes some of the hardest weather on the east coast.
The work we're called out for most around Dunbar:
- Storm and salt-exposure damage on an exposed coast
- Slate and clay-pantile repairs on harbour and town property
- Lead flashing, valley and chimney renewal
- Flat-roof renewal and tile re-roofs on modern estates
Conservation note. Dunbar's harbour and town centre include conservation areas and listed buildings, so we use matched slate or pantile and traditional detailing where it's required.

Who is the best roofer in Dunbar?
For roofing in Dunbar 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 Dunbar from a single slipped slate to a full re-roof.
How much does a roof repair cost in Dunbar?
It depends on the roof, the access and the materials. As a rough guide, minor slate or flashing repairs in Dunbar 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 Dunbar rather than full slate replacement.
