Traditional and Rope Access ROOFING AND BUILDING

We take great pride in our personal and caring approach to customer relationships. We fully understand how nerve-wracking it can be to own a roof, never mind needing to call in a roofer. There is nothing we like more than happy customer feedback.

We want to get things right first time. But once you invest in your roof alongside us, we will be with you for as long as it takes.

Our main aim is to give you confidence in your roof. Careful repair, restoration and maintenance will prolong the life of your roof. We will never recommend unnecessary work or over charge.

Lovely message we received at New Year:

I just wanted to wish all the Slate Surgeon team a happy new year and thank you again for finally sorting out my back kitchen roof after many many years of drips leaks and damp, which no other roofers managed to sort out. It’s such a relief to have ceiling and walls without cracks and damp stains, and no line-up of plastic containers on the windowsill when it rains!

I am repeat user of Slate Surgeons’ service for a tenement block roof I have shared responsibility for and I am very happy with their work and prompt responses. The before and after photos are appreciated and any questions I have are always answered too. Which is important because repair information has to be shared with all the other flat owners in the block. These guys have also been patience with the shared repairs process necessary before work can take place each time. A BIG thank you to you all.

Saw these guys working in the area and emailed for a quote. They came out to quote and then were able to fit us in around other jobs (as ours was only small). The guys were fantastic – really wanted to get it right, made sure we understood what they were going to do and gave options where needed. Great job and left everything neat and tidy. Really pleased – will be using these guys again and highly recommend

The whole experience from Slate Surgeon was second to none. First time I have used them for roof repairs on a property in Edinburgh city centre.
Great communication. Very competitive prices and great workmanship.
Would highly recommend.

Fantastic team. Did exactly what they said they’d do, when they said they’d do it. The guys worked solidly the whole day and fixed a couple of extra bits that needed doing without charging extra.

When they’d finished on the roof, Mike came down with a ladder and set it up in the hall by the cupola. I wondered what he was doing, but he then proceeded to pull down multiple small toys and balls that my 4 year old has chucked up there over the years. He’d spotted them from the roof and decided they needed rescued!

Highly recommend for both roof repairs and toy retrieval and they are also a lovely bunch.

Great roofers to work with. Good communication, reliable and tidy. We use them for our annual roof inspection and repairs in our Georgian tenement building.

Super service from Slate Surgeons. A detailed estimate was given and a date for the work. Was even better that a slot became available sooner. The work carried out was excellent and à very reasonable price. Recommended

Thank you so much again for such a great experience working with Mike and his team. I can’t tell you how reassuring it is to work with a company like yours. Reliable, timely, fair, honest and hardworking… it was a good day when I found you guys!

We had a fantastic experience with Slate Surgeons. They managed to fit us in before some stormy weather as we had a small leak coming into our flat. They were hard working, diligent and great communicating along the way. The before and after photos were really helpful in helping understand the problem and what they fixed.
Will definitely use again and highly recommend.

We chose these guys from a range of quotes to do some work on our tenement roof, because they were quite a bit cheaper as they use ropes instead of scaffolding. We were really pleased with the work they did, and they picked up some odds and ends while they were up there which we hadn’t spotted beforehand. They came when they said they would and got the job done well, so far as I can see. They’re very busy, so you might have to wait a while for then to come out to quote/do your job, but I guess that’s a good sign because it shows they’re in demand.

We are Not just SLATE Surgeons… A whole lot of lovely Rosemary clay tiles went onto this re-roof. A beautiful cottage attached to a stunning house we look after for a favourite customer. The cottage was damp and the roof beyond repair. We were told to stop using the word ‘rot’ half way through this job. Don’t blame you, honestly! But its ok! Sorted, watertight, beautiful.

One of my neighbours told me about Slate Surgeons and he said that their workmanship was excellent. My experience was equally positive. All my communications with Slate Surgeons were dealt with professionally and promptly. The work was done to an extremely high standard with no fuss. Importantly, the people who carried out the repair could not have been more pleasant. Highly Recommended.

A roofing company you can trust.

After a mystery leak, which had plagued us and baffled other roofing outfits for some time, the experienced team at Slate Surgeons took pains to comprehensively assess our situation. They located all areas needing attention and carried out the repair work in a single day to a very high standard.

I should also say that Slate Surgeons were able to quote competitively and, importantly, accurately: the work didn’t require a list of expensive resources or take long.

Our experience with Slate Surgeons has been faultless and I have no hesitation in recommending them to friends, family and the wider communities of East Lothian, Edinburgh East, and wherever else they are able to reach.

You will thank your lucky stars if you get in touch with Debs and Mike.

Highly recommend. Really helpful, professional and friendly service and very reasonable price. Also shared photos before and after to explain the work that needed to be done and show the end result, which I found really helpful and reassuring. Thank you so much!

Lovely company to deal with. The guys came when they said they would, always a bonus.
They worked all morning replacing our missing slates and did a great job of clearing up after them. I would highly recommend them.
