Commercial roofing on South Queensferry roofs
South Queensferry runs from its historic cobbled High Street — 17th to 19th-century terraced houses in a conservation area, many listed — to modern estates at Echline, Dalmeny and Port Edgar. Older roofs are natural slate and traditional clay pantile; newer homes are tile. Sitting on the Firth of Forth, roofs here take real coastal exposure.
The work we're called out for most around South Queensferry:
- Slate and clay-pantile repairs on the historic High Street
- Storm and salt-exposure damage on the Forth
- Lead flashing, valley and chimney renewal
- Tile re-roofs and flat-roof renewals on modern estates
Conservation note. South Queensferry's High Street is a conservation area with many listed buildings, so we use matched natural slate or traditional pantile and sympathetic detailing, and can advise on consent before starting.

Who is the best roofer in South Queensferry?

Our yard is in Leith for fast local response, and we cover everything in South Queensferry from a single slipped slate to a full re-roof.
How much does a roof repair cost in South Queensferry?
It depends on the roof, the access and the materials. As a rough guide, minor slate or flashing repairs in South Queensferry 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 South Queensferry rather than full slate replacement.
