Accredited & certified
Independently audited and certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards for quality, environmental and occupational health & safety management.
Single-ply, GRP, liquid-applied and pitched roof systems for commercial properties across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Retail, hotels, schools and offices. Own access equipment, written warranties, fixed quotes.
If your roof is leaking or due for replacement, or you need a specification for a new build, we can help. Over the past 12 years we've completed more than 200 commercial roofing projects across Edinburgh, from retail units and offices to schools, hotels and listed buildings. No surprise invoices. The quote is the price.
We work across single-ply membrane systems (TPO, PVC, EPDM) for large flat roofs, GRP for complex detailing and listed buildings, liquid-applied coatings for fast turnarounds, and natural slate for pitched roofs on heritage and conservation properties. Every system is specified to British Standards and installed by our own team using our own access equipment.

Commercial roofing quotes typically carry significant third-party scaffold or platform hire on top of materials and labour, often the single largest line item on a flat roof job. We own our access fleet outright, so that cost never lands on your quote. On a recent flat roof project in Leith, owning our access equipment meant the client's quote came in well below a competing scaffolding-inclusive bid they'd already received.
Because we control access scheduling, we can also confirm a start date within one week of your accepted quote. No waiting on third-party hire availability.
We specify the right system for your roof type, building use and budget at survey stage. Edinburgh's winters and persistent wind place specific demands on material choice, felt systems in particular degrade faster here due to freeze-thaw cycling.
| System | Lifespan | Relative Cost | Maintenence |
|---|---|---|---|
| EPDM rubber | 30–50 years | Moderate | Low, periodic inspection |
| TPO / PVC single-ply | 20–30 years | Moderate | Low |
| GRP fibreglass | 25–30 years | Moderate, High | Very low |
| Liquid-applied coating | 15–25 years | Low, Moderate | Low, recoat as needed |
| Built-up felt | 10–20 years | Low | Moderate, seam checks |
| Natural slate (pitched) | 75–100+ years | High | Low if laid correctly |
Every commercial project follows the same five-step process. Speed matters, occupied buildings can't lose trading days, but so does specification, a roof that fails early costs more than getting it right first time.
We inspect the existing structure and drainage layout, noting defects, then produce a written report detailing findings and recommendations. We aim to survey within 48 hours of your enquiry, with the written report delivered within 5 working days.
Every cost line is visible, no hidden contingencies. Quotes are typically issued alongside the survey report within 5 working days.
No waiting on third-party hire schedules. We confirm a start date within one week of your accepted quote, subject to access arrangements you put in place.
Carried out to British Standards and manufacturer specification. Site safety managed under our ISO 45001 protocols, documented and independently audited. If issues are found mid-project (e.g., concealed substrate damage), we notify you the same day with options and costs before proceeding.
Warranty documentation issued, site signed off clean. Handover typically takes place within one working day of project completion.
Commercial roofing costs vary by roof area, system specified, substrate condition and access complexity. Single-ply membrane sits at the lower end for large flat roofs, GRP runs higher due to labour intensity, and natural slate on pitched roofs is the most expensive due to material cost and installation time. The factors that most commonly push costs higher are concealed substrate damage requiring full deck replacement, restricted access requiring specialist equipment, and extensive drainage rework.
This is what happens between your enquiry and your written quote.
We attend, inspect the existing structure and drainage layout, photograph defects.
Full condition report with defect photographs and prioritised recommendations. Yours to keep whether you proceed with us or not.
Every line itemised: materials, labour, access, waste disposal, VAT. No hidden contingencies.
No pressure, no chase calls. Take your time, compare with other quotes, ask questions. We'll only follow up if you ask us to.
