Services
Roof tiling
Our roof tiling services use premium materials and time-tested techniques to ensure durable, weather-resistant roofs. We replace damaged tiles, re-roof entire properties, and repair storm damage while maintaining aesthetic consistency. With 30 years of experience, we deliver cost-effective solutions for both modern and traditional properties across Central Scotland.
Roof slating
Specialising in traditional slating, we restore and install natural Scottish and Spanish slate roofs. Our expertise includes heritage building work, ensuring historical accuracy while improving longevity. We address storm damage, re-slate entire roofs, and maintain slate integrity, combining craftsmanship with modern durability standards for properties in Edinburgh and beyond.
Flat roofs
We provide EPDM rubber and torch-on felt flat roofing solutions designed for longevity and weather resistance. Services include re-roofing extensions, garages, and porches, alongside repairs for storm damage and guttering issues. Our systems prevent water ingress while ensuring seamless integration with existing structures, serving commercial and residential clients.
Leadwork
Our leadwork specialists repair and replace lead components in chimneys, valleys, and flashings. Using malleable yet durable materials, we create watertight seals to prevent leaks. Expertise extends to parapet gutters and intricate detailing, ensuring both functional protection and visual harmony for historic and modern buildings.
Chimney repairs
We restore chimneys through pointing, capping, and structural repairs, addressing leaning stacks or weather damage. Services include removing unsafe chimneys and installing ventilation solutions. Our work prolongs chimney lifespan while maintaining safety standards, using techniques refined over three decades of servicing residential and commercial properties.

New flat roof required at short notice. Roof inspected and reported on very quickly. Arrangements made quickly and work carried when stated at a fair and reasonable price - can't ask for more

Report
I asked D Watson to repair tiles on my roof line. He said he would need to order some materials I hadn't heard back from him so I called to find out if the materials had come in and when he would be able to do the repair, he replied I was about to call you I did the job yesterday sure enough when I looked at the roof it was all done and no mess. That's how I hadn't noticed. Excellent job well done and at a good price.
