Services
Heritage Roofing
Specialising in restoring traditional buildings, we use authentic materials like Welsh, Scottish, and Spanish slate. Our time-served slaters ensure historical accuracy while meeting modern durability standards. Clients benefit from preserved architectural integrity and enhanced property value through expert craftsmanship.
Flat Roofing
Our flat roofing solutions utilise single ply, liquid plastic, and torch-applied felt systems. Designed for commercial and residential properties, these installations prioritise waterproofing, insulation, and longevity. Clients receive durable, low-maintenance roofs compliant with current building regulations and energy efficiency standards.
Rendering
We offer traditional lime harling and contemporary silicone renders to enhance building facades. Our systems improve thermal efficiency through insulation integration while providing weatherproof protection. Clients gain modernised aesthetics and increased property energy performance ratings.
Commercial Roofing
Tailored solutions for schools, supermarkets, and offices include metal and flat roof repairs, cladding restoration, and full installations. Our proactive maintenance reduces business disruption. Clients benefit from cost-effective, durable systems with minimal operational impact.
Lead Work
Specialist lead fabrication and installation services cover flashings, valleys, and bespoke architectural details. Combining traditional techniques with modern training, we ensure watertight, long-lasting solutions. Clients receive expert craftsmanship that maintains structural integrity and heritage compliance.

We had a leaky roof coming from my chimney in an old sandstone building in we let out in Kilwinning. We had a number of companies take a bash, but DM Roofing finally got this resolved for us.

Superb leadwork and good service. We did have a few issues that were all resolved quickly. All in, a positive experience from what is clearly a professional company.

Critical: Responsiveness Called them quite a few months ago to get a quote. Was told someone would call back to arrange a visit and I'm still waiting. Needless to say I got it done by someone else.

Report
I asked DM roofing to quote for re rough casting of my daughters chimney which was about 7 square yards and the price was 3741.00 which I declined and have since had the work done for less than half of their quote. I've since then spoken to other people who tell me that they are very unreliable and very expensive. So my advice would be to use someone else.

Fantastic service from this company. I called with the issue with my roof and the next day they attended. I was informed of the storm damage and actually shown a video of th roof so I could see for myself. They quoted me a price which included all labour and materials and the job was completed next day. Faultless and good to see good old fashioned customer service is still alive in this day and age.
