Roofers Livingston

Livingston was designated as Scotland's fourth new town in 1962 and built out in phases through the 1990s. That history matters when you are dealing with the roofs. The oldest neighbourhoods, Craigshill and Howden, have roofs that are now over fifty years old. The mid-period estates around Dedridge, Ladywell, and Knightsridge are typically thirty to forty-five years in. Even the newer parts of Murieston and Almondvale are now well past the twenty-year mark, which is when felt underlays start to fail and ridge mortar begins to crumble.

The result is a town where almost every street has at least one house overdue a serious look at its roof. We do a lot of roof repairs in Livingston, but we also carry out plenty of full re-roofs on properties where the felt has gone, the battens are tired, and patching it up is no longer the right call.

Concrete tile is by far the most common roof covering across Livingston, and most properties have a small flat roof over the porch, garage, or rear extension. Those flat sections are usually the first thing to give up. We replace ageing felt with EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass systems that will last another twenty-five to thirty years without maintenance, so you only need to do the job once.

We answer the phone in person, turn up when we say we will, and price work without inflating it because we know West Lothian homeowners take quotes seriously. Most of our Livingston work comes through word of mouth from neighbours, family, or previous customers.
