Roof Repair Specialists
Roof Repairs Edinburgh
Every roof develops issues over time. Whether it is slipped slates after a rough winter, a persistent damp patch on a ceiling, or cracked ridge tiles, these problems rarely fix themselves. Left too long, they usually become more expensive to put right.
What We Cover
Our Roof Repairs Services
Slipped, Cracked & Missing Slates or Tiles
We replace damaged slates and tiles like-for-like, working with natural slate, concrete tiles, and clay tiles to match your existing roof. Whether one tile has slipped or several need replacing, we identify the cause, fix it, and make sure it stays fixed.
Ridge & Hip Tile Repairs
Loose or missing ridge tiles let water straight into your roof space. We re-bed or replace ridge and hip tiles using dry ridge systems or traditional mortar bedding, depending on what suits your roof and your budget.
Roof Valley Repairs
Valleys are one of the most common leak points on a roof. We repair and reline valleys using lead, fibreglass, or other appropriate materials, ensuring proper water run-off and long-term protection.
Leadwork Repairs
From flashing around chimneys and walls to lead valleys and flat-to-pitch junctions, we carry out leadwork repairs using correct code lead, properly dressed and chased into masonry for a lasting seal.
Flat Roof Repairs
If you have a flat roof section that is leaking, blistering, or showing signs of wear, we can repair or patch it using EPDM rubber, fibreglass, or high-performance felt depending on the existing system.
Verge & Roof Cement Repairs
Cracked or missing verge pointing exposes the edges of your roof to wind and water. We repair verge pointing and can install dry verge systems for a longer-lasting, lower-maintenance solution.
At First Choice Roof Repairs, we carry out planned roof repairs across Edinburgh, the Lothians, the Scottish Borders, and Northumberland. From single tile replacements to repairs on ridges, valleys, and leadwork, we identify the cause of the issue, fix it properly, and make sure it does not return.
If you are dealing with an active leak, storm damage, or urgent roof failure, visit our emergency roofing page for details of our same-day callout service.
Planned Roof Repairs vs Emergency Callouts
Most roof repairs are not emergencies. A slipped tile, cracked flashing, or worn valley can often wait a few days for a proper inspection and planned repair. This gives us time to assess the full picture, source the right materials, and carry out the work thoroughly rather than rushing a temporary fix.
However, if water is actively entering your property, if storm damage has left your roof exposed, or if there is a structural concern, that is an emergency and we treat it as one. Our emergency roofing service provides same-day callouts across Edinburgh with the same team and the same standard of work.

FAQs
Common Questions About Roof Repairs
Common signs include damp patches on ceilings, slipped or missing slates visible from ground level, daylight showing through the roof space, or debris in your gutters. If you are unsure, we offer free inspections and honest advice.
It depends on the scope. A single slate replacement might cost from around £80 to £150, while larger repairs involving ridge work, valleys, or leadwork will vary based on materials and access. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you know exactly what to expect.
Not always. Many repairs can be carried out from a ladder. For larger jobs, ridge work, or properties with restricted access, scaffolding may be needed. We will advise you during the quote and include it in the price if required.
Yes. We carry a range of common slate and tile types and can source reclaimed materials where a close match is needed. For listed buildings or conservation areas, we take extra care to find appropriate materials.
If you have an active leak, storm damage, or any situation where your property is at risk, call us immediately on 07473 431365. We provide emergency callouts across Edinburgh and can usually attend the same day.

"First Choice Roof Repairs attended swiftly and made our roof watertight. Clear communication, good price, and great blokes. We are very happy with the level of professionalism shown and the courtesy with which we were treated. 5 stars all day long."
"I called William and his team after having numerous problems with my roof and other roofers not getting them solved. William and his team found the problems and quoted for the work which I was very happy with. All the problems were fixed the same day and since then I haven't had a single leak. Would highly recommend."
"Very pleased indeed with the service. William called round within 24 hours of my phone call asking for a slate to be repaired or replaced. Kept in touch before arrival and had the job done very quickly. Was able to reuse the old slate which kept the cost down. First class all round."
