What we deliver
Slate roof inspections
Detailed checks to identify damage, wear, and potential leak risks early.
Broken slate replacements
Careful removal and replacement of damaged or missing slates to restore protection.
Slate roofing that suits older and newer properties
Slate roofing requires skill and attention to detail, especially when you want a roof that looks right and performs well in Scottish weather. We install high-quality natural Spanish slate roofs, carry out traditional Scottish slating, and construct new slate roofs using proven craftsmanship and installation techniques. Suitable for period, listed and modern properties, our slate roofing preserves the character of historic buildings while offering strong, long-lasting protection against Scotland’s harsh weather.
When damage occurs, we repair slipped or missing slates, replace broken sections with carefully matched materials where possible, and complete full slate roof replacements when needed. Edinburgh Roof Company works across Edinburgh with a practical approach that respects both the appearance and structure of each property. Properly installed slate roofing provides a durable, low-maintenance solution built to last for decades.
Feedback from our customers
Grant Swinney
Musselburgh
Really impressed with the workmanship and professionalism of The Edinburgh Roof Company. Friendly team, fair pricing, and our roof looks great. Would definitely use them again.
Edinburgh Roof Company recently repaired my flat roof in Morningside, Edinburgh, and I’m really pleased with the work. The team were professional, friendly, and efficient throughout. Everything was completed to a high standard, on time, and with no mess left behind. I’d happily recommend them to anyone looking for reliable roofing work.

Repairs and upkeep that stop small faults growing
A slate roof rarely fails suddenly. More often, issues such as a cracked slate, loose ridge, or worn lead flashing allow water ingress and develop into larger problems over time. We carry out detailed roof inspections to identify early signs of damage, followed by targeted traditional slate roof repairs before issues spread to timbers, insulation or internal ceilings.
Where repair is no longer sufficient, we also provide full slate roof replacements. Our maintenance service includes lead flashing repairs and replacement, along with ridge and hip repairs, which Edinburgh’s wind and rain commonly affect. We always focus on protecting the roof structure while keeping our work efficient and proportionate.
