Emergency repair on Haddington roofs
Haddington is a handsome historic market town on the River Tyne, with one of Scotland's largest conservation areas — fine Georgian and medieval buildings, period stone terraces and many listed properties, alongside modern estates. Roofs are natural slate, traditional clay pantile and lead detailing on the older town, tile on newer housing.
The work we're called out for most around Haddington:
- Slate and clay-pantile repairs on period property
- Heritage and listed-building roofing to conservation standards
- Lead valley, flashing and chimney renewal
- Tile re-roofs and flat-roof renewals on modern homes
Conservation note. Haddington has an extensive conservation area and many listed buildings, so we use matched natural slate or pantile and traditional lead detailing, and can advise on listed-building consent before work starts.

Emergency roof repair in Haddington — common questions

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