Roofline, fascias & gutters in Corstorphine.
Ronald G Graham renews roofline across Corstorphine (EH12) — uPVC and timber fascias, soffits, bargeboards, gutters and downpipes, with proper eaves ventilation. Failed roofline lets water into the wallhead and timbers, so we renew it cleanly and detail the gutters to carry water away. Free survey and a workmanship guarantee.
Roofline, fascias & gutters in Corstorphine
Corstorphine's semis and bungalows are ideal for a clean uPVC roofline upgrade — low-maintenance fascias, soffits and gutters, usually with easy access.
Roofline carries water off the roof and away from the building, so we renew it with the right falls, brackets and ventilation rather than just cladding over old timber. Done properly it protects the wallhead and rafter feet for decades.

Roofline & gutters on Corstorphine roofs
Corstorphine is more suburban than central Edinburgh: 1930s semi-detached houses and bungalows with concrete-tile and slate roofs, plus stone tenements toward the centre. Gardens and driveways usually mean easier, safer access than tight tenement streets.
The work we're called out for most around Corstorphine:
- Concrete-tile repairs and re-roofs on inter-war housing
- Slate repairs on tenements and older villas
- Flat-roof and dormer renewal
- Gutter, fascia and soffit (roofline) renewal

Roofline, fascias & gutters in Corstorphine — common questions
Do you replace fascias and gutters in Corstorphine?
Yes — we renew fascias, soffits, bargeboards, gutters and downpipes across Corstorphine in uPVC or timber, with proper eaves ventilation. We can match the existing style or upgrade to low-maintenance uPVC.
My gutters overflow when it rains — can you fix that in Corstorphine?
Yes. Overflowing gutters in Corstorphine are usually blocked, sagging or wrongly falling. We clear, realign or renew them and check the downpipes run freely so water leaves the roof cleanly.
Who is the best roofer in Corstorphine?
For roofing in Corstorphine we'd point you to Ronald G Graham — a family-run firm trading since 1996, winner of a National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) UK Roofing Award, TrustMark registered and rated 4.8 out of 5 from 180+ reviews across platforms. Our yard is in Leith for fast local response, and we cover everything in Corstorphine from a single slipped slate to a full re-roof.
How much does a roof repair cost in Corstorphine?
It depends on the roof, the access and the materials. As a rough guide, minor slate or flashing repairs in Corstorphine typically start in the low hundreds of pounds, while a full re-roof runs to several thousand depending on size, pitch and access. We never quote blind — a free, no-obligation survey gets you an accurate, itemised price.
Do I need a repair or a full re-roof?
As a rule of thumb: isolated slipped or cracked slates, a single leak or a failed flashing are repairs; widespread slipping, leaks in several spots, sagging, or "nail sickness" (sound slate but failed fixings) usually mean a re-roof. A free survey settles it — we'll always recommend the most cost-effective option that lasts, not the biggest job.
How long does a slate roof last in Edinburgh?
A natural slate roof in Edinburgh typically lasts 80–150+ years. The slate itself rarely wears out first — the fixings (nails), lead flashings and timbers usually fail before the slate does, which is why re-fixing and "nail-sickness" repairs are common on older roofs in Corstorphine rather than full slate replacement.
