Emergency roof repair in Trinity & Granton.
Ronald G Graham runs a 24/7 emergency roof line covering Trinity (EH5). 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 Trinity & Granton
Trinity'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 roof repair in Trinity & Granton — common questions
How fast can you reach a roof emergency in Trinity?
Our 24-hour line is answered every day of the year. As Trinity is close to our Leith yard, we can usually be there within about 30 minutes.
What should I do while I wait for an emergency roofer in Trinity?

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