What the job involves
Not every roofing job fits neatly into a category. Rare materials, one-off architectural details, solar integration, conservation-grade restoration — they all need a conversation with a specialist rather than a menu.
The quote form has an “other” option and a free-text description field. Describe what you need in plain English; we’ll route it to a roofer in your area who does that kind of work.
Edinburgh — local context
Traditional material: Scottish slate (traditionally Aberfoyle, Ballachulish, now mostly imported equivalents).
Edinburgh’s Old Town and New Town are a UNESCO World Heritage Site with exceptionally tight planning controls; stone-slate and natural-slate roofs are the default on heritage tenements, and Listed Building Consent is the norm for visible work.
What changes the price
- Specialism required.
- Availability of the right roofer in your area.
- Materials and access.

What counts as “other”?
Specialist conservation work, non-standard materials (zinc, copper, thatch), solar provision work, unusual architectural details — anything that doesn’t fit repair/replace/survey.
Will I get a quote from the first roofer who sees it?
Usually yes, but unusual jobs sometimes need a second-opinion visit before a price can be given. That’s normal.
What does something else typically cost in Edinburgh?
Prices vary widely depending on scope; request three quotes to compare.
Are there any Edinburgh-specific things that affect price?
Edinburgh’s Old Town and New Town are a UNESCO World Heritage Site with exceptionally tight planning controls; stone-slate and natural-slate roofs are the default on heritage tenements, and Listed Building Consent is the norm for visible work.
