If you’ve lived in Edinburgh, East Lothian, or Midlothian for any length of time, you know the score with our weather. One minute it’s cracking the flags, the next we’re dealing with a "haar" rolling in off the Forth or a seasonal gale that likes to test every slate and chimney pot in the Lothians.
My name is Patrick Murphy, and I’ve been on the roofs of this region since I was 16 years old. I started as an apprentice, learning the trade from the ground up, literally. Over the last 22 years, I’ve seen it all, from the traditional tenement-style builds in the outskirts to the modern family homes in Musselburgh and Dalkeith.
At Roof Fix Services Limited, we don't just "fix roofs." We apply a Master Craftsman standard to every job. I hold an SQA Level 7 Advanced Craft Specialist certificate: a qualification that is becoming increasingly rare in our industry. It’s the difference between a quick patch-up and a repair that actually stands up to a Scottish winter.
The "No Subbies" Guarantee: Why It Matters to You
One thing I’ve noticed with many other firms is the reliance on subcontractors. You call a local roofer, but the guys who turn up are "subbies" who have no long-term stake in the company’s reputation.
We do things differently. We have a strict "no subbies" guarantee. Every single person on your roof is part of our internal team. We take full accountability for the work, ensuring that our high standards are met on every project, whether it’s a minor gutter repair or a full re-roof. This commitment to quality is why we are a certified Edinburgh Trusted Trader, boasting 351 reviews and a 4.9/5 rating. When you hire us, you’re hiring our reputation.
Serving the Bypass, Not the Core
It’s important to be clear about where we work. While we are a leading choice for roofers in Edinburgh, we explicitly do NOT service city centre tenements (EH1, EH2, EH3). Our expertise and equipment are tailored for the residential and commercial properties found "beyond the bypass" and in the surrounding towns.
If you are looking for roofing in Musselburgh, roof repairs in Edinburgh outskirts, or maintenance in East Lothian and Midlothian, we are your local experts. We understand the specific challenges of local building styles, from traditional lime mortar pointing to modern flat roof membranes.
Modern Tech Meets Traditional Skill
I’m a firm believer in using the best tools for the job. While my training is in traditional methods like SVQ Level 3 in Roof Slating, Tiling and Cement Work, I’ve invested heavily in modern diagnostic technology.
One of our key USPs is our High-Definition CCTV chimney surveys. If you’re worried about the internal health of your flue or a persistent leak around the stack, we don't need to build expensive scaffolding just to take a look. Our HD cameras go where we can’t, saving you a fortune in unnecessary access costs.
And for every single job, we provide Free photographic roof reports. I want you to see what I see. Transparency is everything, which is why we provide before-and-after photographic proof for every project. No more taking a contractor's word for it: you’ll have the evidence on your phone.
Specialists in the Details: Chimneys and Guttering
A roof is only as good as its weakest point, which is usually the chimneys or the gutters.
As a specialist chimney sweep in Edinburgh and the Lothians, I’ve seen how neglected stacks can lead to dampness and structural issues. We handle everything from basic sweeping to complex chimney repairs and rebuilds. We are also experts in Gutter Work, including cleaning, repairs, and new installations to ensure water is channeled away from your property correctly.
For those with flat roofs, we offer specialized solutions including Flat Roof Coatings and Flat Roof Membranes. These modern materials provide a seamless, waterproof barrier that outlasts traditional felt by decades.
Pricing Transparency: No Hidden Surprises
I know that the biggest stressor for homeowners is the cost. That’s why we operate with a clear, fixed-price guide for 2026. We want your experience to be frictionless, and that starts with knowing what you’re likely to pay.
| Service Type | 2026 Guide Price |
|---|---|
| Small house repairs (max 2 storey) | £85 + VAT + materials |
| Rope Safety / Roof Access | £240 + VAT + materials |
| Scaffolding Tower | £500 + VAT upwards |
| Scaffolding | £500 + VAT upwards (depends on height) |
| Emergency roofing callouts | £150 + VAT (charged upfront) |
Disclaimer: These are guide prices and any additional charges will be given and confirmed before any work starts.
"Patrick and his team were fantastic. They provided a full photo report of my roof in Dalkeith and fixed a long-standing leak that three other firms couldn't find. Professional, tidy, and no-nonsense."
: David R., Midlothian Resident
