Roofing in Loanhead — common questions
Do you cover Loanhead and Bilston?
Yes — we cover Loanhead, Bilston and the surrounding EH20 area for repairs, re-roofs, leadwork and emergencies. Being on Edinburgh's edge, it's quick for us to reach.
Can you repair older stone terrace roofs in Loanhead?
Yes. Loanhead's older mining and Victorian terraces are typically natural slate; we repair slipped and failed slates, renew lead flashings and chimneys, and re-slate where fixings have reached the end of their life.
Who is the best roofer in Loanhead?
For roofing in Loanhead 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 4.7 out of 5 from 180+ reviews across platforms. Our yard is in Leith for fast local response, and we cover everything in Loanhead from a single slipped slate to a full re-roof.
How much does a roof repair cost in Loanhead?
It depends on the roof, the access and the materials. As a rough guide, minor slate or flashing repairs in Loanhead 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 Loanhead rather than full slate replacement.
