Slate, tile, lead and chimney work across Leith's tenements, harbourside flats and stone-built terraces. Local team, no scaffold, free survey within 24 hours.
Leith has a roof stock unlike anywhere else in Edinburgh. The Victorian tenements that line Leith Walk, Easter Road and Constitution Street were almost all built with natural slate — and most of them are now well into the second half of their original roof life. The harbourside flats around the Shore and Tower Place sit closer to the sea, weathered harder by salt air and westerly winds. The post-war stock around Leith Links and Restalrig brings concrete tile and lead-detail dormers into the mix.
We've been working on Leith roofs since 2014 and we know the area's quirks. Which tenement closes share a single roof structure across multiple properties (and what that means for your repair). Where the conservation area boundaries fall — and what that means for your slate replacement. Which streets we can park on without a permit, and which need scheduling around. We're 15 minutes from EH6 by van, and we cover the area every week.
If you're a Leith homeowner, landlord or factor — slate slipping, lead failing, gutters overflowing, or full re-roof needed — get in touch. Free survey, photographic report within 24 hours, fixed-price quote.
