Copper & zinc roofing in Stockbridge
Stockbridge's period and listed buildings often have original zinc or copper bays, dormers and flats; we restore and renew them in matched metal with traditional detailing.
Metal roofing is a craft — the seams, clips and detailing have to allow for movement and shed water perfectly. We hand-form copper and zinc to last generations, whether matching a heritage roof or creating a clean modern finish.

Do you install zinc and copper roofs in Stockbridge?

Who is the best roofer in Stockbridge?
For roofing in Stockbridge 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 Stockbridge from a single slipped slate to a full re-roof.
How much does a roof repair cost in Stockbridge?
It depends on the roof, the access and the materials. As a rough guide, minor slate or flashing repairs in Stockbridge 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 Stockbridge rather than full slate replacement.
