Edinburgh's housing stock, from a roofer's point of view
Edinburgh carries more listed buildings than almost any UK city: Georgian terraces in the New Town, Victorian tenements from Leith to Morningside, and conservation areas covering most of the centre. That heritage comes with rules. Like-for-like Scottish slate is often required, and planning consent can apply to details as small as rooflights. Tenement roofs are shared, so repairs are normally organised through an owners' association or property factor and the bill split between flats. Expect quotes per building on tenements, and check your title deeds for the split before work starts.
Finding a good roofer in Edinburgh
The checks are the same everywhere, and most cowboy jobs fail them all: proof of public liability insurance, a verifiable trading history under a real business name, a written itemised quote rather than a figure over the phone, references or photos from recent local jobs, and a written guarantee on workmanship. In Edinburgh, add one more: ask about experience with traditional slate and conservation-area consents. Our guide to choosing a roofer walks through each check, and every roofer in our network has already passed them.
