Emergency make-safe, temporary weatherproofing, insurance documentation and full structural reinstatement across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Own cherry pickers and MEWPs, no waiting on hired plant. Calls answered, four-hour aim on Edinburgh response.
We're a small, dedicated Edinburgh roofing team with over a decade of storm damage repair work behind us, covering everything from emergency make-safe to full structural reinstatement across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Since 2013 we've repaired storm damage on every type of Edinburgh property, tenements with shared roofs, stone-built villas, listed properties, and modern developments across the Lothians.
We handle the full process: emergency make-safe within four hours of your call, temporary weatherproofing the same day, full photographic survey and loss adjuster-ready documentation for your insurance claim, and permanent reinstatement by our own directly employed team. We never sub-contract core roofing and structural storm repair work to third parties.
Independently audited and certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards for quality, environmental and occupational health & safety management.
Most storm damage contractors face two bottlenecks: waiting on hired access plant to arrive, and asking the homeowner to handle their own insurance paperwork. We carry our own cherry pickers and MEWPs, ready to deploy with no waiting and no hire costs on your invoice. And we produce documented survey reports with photographs and itemised scopes of work, formatted for loss adjusters, and liaise directly with your insurer on your behalf.
No call-out fees within our core service area. No emergency surcharges. The price on the quote is the price on the invoice.
Every storm produces a similar pattern of damage on Edinburgh's mixed building stock. All materials are specified to relevant British Standards (such as BS 5534 for slating and tiling) and, where applicable, Historic Environment Scotland guidance.
| Damage type | Damage type | Typical timeframe | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Missing or cracked slates | Reclaimed Scottish slate or compatible | 1–2 days | Most common after high winds |
| Lifted lead flashing | Code 4 / Code 5 lead sheet | 1–2 days | Often around chimneys and abutments |
| Displaced ridge tiles | Sand/cement or dry ridge system | 1–2 days | Common on exposed elevations |
| Flat roof felt damage | EPDM, felt or GRP | 1–3 days | Driven rain can lift seams |
| Chimney stack damage | Lime mortar, matched stonework | 3–7 days | Structural assessment first |
Every storm damage job follows the same six-step process. Speed matters in the first hours, then thoroughness takes over, full documentation, fixed quotes, and permanent reinstatement by our own team.
Call 0131 203 3027. We aim to dispatch a surveyor or repair team to your Edinburgh or Lothians property within four hours, subject to demand during major storm events.
We secure the structure immediately. Boarding up of openings, temporary roof coverings, extraction of standing water, stopping damage from worsening.
Once the property is safe, we carry out a thorough survey using our own access equipment, documenting all damage with photographs and written reports suitable for insurance submission.
You receive an itemised price. No vague estimates, no surprises. Quote submitted directly to your loss adjuster if you'd like us to handle the liaison.
Our directly employed tradespeople complete all works to the agreed specification: roofing, slate work, chimney repairs, flat roofing and associated trades as required.
Works inspected against our quality procedures before handover. You receive a written guarantee on completed repairs.
Storm damage costs vary by the scale of damage and access complexity. Emergency make-safe and temporary weatherproofing sit at the lower end, full structural reinstatement and water damage drying at the higher end. Insurance often covers the work in full or part, our documented survey reports are formatted to support your claim and we can liaise directly with your loss adjuster.
Within our core Edinburgh and Lothians service area.
The price you'd pay during business hours is the price you pay during a storm.

We cover Edinburgh, East Lothian, West Lothian, Midlothian and selected areas of the Scottish Borders as our core service area. Our teams work regularly across the Lothians and know local building types, planning constraints and material suppliers, particularly important on listed properties and conservation areas where storm repairs must use appropriate materials in line with Historic Environment Scotland guidance.
Edinburgh and Lothians clients are always our priority. We also take on work in Falkirk, Stirling, Fife and other parts of Central Scotland by arrangement when capacity allows.
