Roofers Haddington

The most common job we are called for in Haddington is slate roof repairs. The town's older properties were roofed largely in Welsh blue and Scotch slate, both of which last well over a century if maintained, but individual slates lift, crack, or slip after high winds. We match slate sizes and colours carefully so a repair is invisible from the street, and we are familiar with the conservation requirements East Lothian Council applies in the protected zones around the town centre.

For full new roofs and re-roofs, we work on both heritage replacements (using natural slate and traditional underlay where required) and modern concrete tile installations on the newer estates. Every quote includes timber and ventilation work as standard, because cutting corners on what's underneath the slates is what causes problems five years later.

Chimney repairs and lead flashing are a frequent need in Haddington's stone-built properties. We repoint mortar joints, rebuild stack courses that have weathered, and renew lead aprons and soakers using code 4 and code 5 lead as appropriate. Where chimneys are beyond economical repair, we cap them properly and rebuild to a sound height.

We also handle guttering, fascias and soffits, moss and algae cleaning, and free no-obligation roof inspections for any Haddington property. If you are buying a house in the town and want an independent view of the roof's condition before you commit, we are happy to take a look.
