24/7 emergency roofing response across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Same-day attendance in most cases. Own access equipment, no waiting on hired scaffolding, fixed prices before work begins.
Water pouring through a damaged roof doesn't wait. It warps timber, shorts electrics and pushes repair costs higher with every passing minute. We provide 24/7 emergency roofing across Edinburgh and the Lothians with same-day response in most cases. We carry our own access equipment, so there's no waiting on hired scaffolding when your ceiling is leaking at 2am.
Our dedicated team knows Edinburgh's rooflines inside out, from Georgian New Town tenements and Victorian terraces to suburban semis and flat-roofed extensions. We handle storm-damaged slates, broken ridge tiles, failed flashings, split flat roof seams, and active water ingress, all with a fixed quote before any work starts.
Independently audited and certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards for quality, environmental and occupational health & safety management.
Most emergency roofers face the same bottleneck: hired scaffolding takes 24-48 hours to arrive, sometimes longer at weekends. By the time access is up, the water damage has already spread to ceilings, electrics and flooring. We carry our own cherry pickers, LOLER-inspected with IPAF-certified operators, which means we can typically be on your roof within 2 hours of your call in Edinburgh and 3-4 hours across the Lothians.
And because we carry the access cost ourselves, there's no surcharge for emergency mobilisation. Fixed quote, no call-out fee, no inflated emergency rates.
Exact costs depend on the extent of damage and how accessible the roof is. We'll confirm your exact price before starting, no surprises. Because we avoid plant hire costs, our prices are often competitive.
| Repair type | Materials | Price Range | Timeframe |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slipped / missing slate | Reclaimed Scottish slate or compatible imported slate | From £150 | 1–3 hours |
| Broken concrete tile | Matching concrete tile | From £150 | 1–2 hours |
| Flat roof patch | EPDM, felt or GRP | From £250 | 2–4 hours |
| Lead flashing replacement | Code 4 / Code 5 lead sheet | From £300 | 2–4 hours |

Every emergency call-out follows the same process. Speed matters, but so does diagnosis, the wrong repair on the wrong fault means a second leak the next time it rains.

Emergency roof repair costs depend on the type of failure and how accessible the roof is. Single slate or tile replacements sit at the lower end, full flat roof patches and lead flashing replacements run higher, and extensive storm damage or partial re-roofing higher still. Because we own our access equipment and avoid third-party hire costs, our emergency prices are often competitive with non-emergency quotes from other contractors.
You don't pay for us to turn up.
The price you'd pay during business hours is the price you pay at 2am.
We assess, photograph, quote in writing. You decide before we begin.
12 months minimum on emergency repairs, up to 10 years on full re-roofing.
