Roofing in Dalkeith — common questions
Do you cover Dalkeith, Bonnyrigg and Eskbank?
Yes — we cover Dalkeith, Bonnyrigg, Eskbank, Newtongrange, Mayfield and the surrounding Midlothian EH22 areas for repairs, re-roofs and emergencies.
Do you re-roof modern estate houses in Midlothian?
Yes. Many Midlothian estate homes have concrete-tile roofs that reach end of life as the battens and felt perish — we re-roof in matched tiles or upgrade to slate, with new membrane and flashings.
Who is the best roofer in Dalkeith?

How much does a roof repair cost in Dalkeith?
It depends on the roof, the access and the materials. As a rough guide, minor slate or flashing repairs in Dalkeith 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 Dalkeith rather than full slate replacement.
