Living in the Lothians means dealing with everything the North Sea and the Pentland Hills can throw at us. From the salt spray hitting roofs in Musselburgh and Prestonpans to the heavy frost and wind that batters properties in Penicuik and Dalkeith, our homes take a beating.
I’m Patrick, and I’ve been on the tools since I was 16. With over 22 years of experience in the roofing and building maintenance trade, I’ve seen firsthand how a small leak or a blocked chimney can turn into a massive headache if left unchecked.
At Roof Fix Services Limited, we aren’t a massive national firm with a call centre. We’re a family-run business based right here, serving homeowners across Edinburgh, East Lothian, and Midlothian. We believe in a personal touch, fair pricing, and, most importantly, doing the job right the first time.
"Professional, punctual, and very tidy. Patrick explained everything clearly and provided photos of the work. It’s rare to find such an honest tradesman these days. Highly recommended!" , Residential Customer, Haddington

Professional Chimney Sweep & Maintenance in Midlothian
Many homeowners in places like Dalkeith, Gorebridge, and Loanhead still enjoy the warmth of a real fire or wood-burning stove. However, keeping that chimney safe and efficient is a recurring job that shouldn't be skipped.
As a NACS-certified chimney sweep, I provide more than just a quick brush. We use modern diagnostic tools, including High-Definition CCTV chimney surveys. These surveys allow us to see exactly what’s happening inside your flue without the need for expensive scaffolding.
The Importance of Annual Sweeping
Regular sweeping prevents the buildup of soot and creosote, which are the primary causes of chimney fires. It also ensures your home is protected from dangerous carbon monoxide leaks.
- Zero-Mess Guarantee: We use industrial-grade vacuums and sheeting to ensure your living room stays spotless.
- Expert Repairs: From lime mortar pointing on the chimney stack to installing a new chimney cowl, we handle the whole system.
- Insurance Compliance: We provide a sweeping certificate that is often required by home insurance providers.
Gutter Cleaning and Maintenance: The Silent Protector
In Musselburgh and other coastal towns, gutters often get filled with more than just leaves: sea salt, moss, and debris from the Firth of Forth can quickly block your drainage system.
When gutters fail, water overflows down your walls, leading to damp, rot, and "lime leaching" in stone properties. We offer expert gutter cleaning, repairs, and full new installs across the Lothians.
We use Rope Safety / Roof Access systems strictly on the roof slope to ensure we can reach high gutters safely and efficiently, saving you the cost of full scaffolding where possible.
"Excellent service from start to finish. Patrick sorted our gutters and did a full chimney sweep in one visit. Very professional and no hidden costs." : Homeowner, Penicuik
