Local Expertise for Blackhall and Silverknowes Homeowners
The EH4 area is one of Edinburgh’s most desirable residential pockets, but the mix of building styles presents unique challenges for roof maintenance. From the established properties around Blackhall St Columba's Church to the coastal-facing homes in Silverknowes, the weather takes its toll.
We provide comprehensive roofing and building maintenance solutions tailored to the specific needs of EH4:
- New Roofs and Re-Roofs: Complete installation and replacement of roofing systems using high-quality materials.
- Slating and Roof Tiling: Expert installation and repair of traditional slate and tile roofs, common in the more historic parts of Blackhall.
- Chimney Maintenance and Sweeping: Professional cleaning and upkeep to ensure safety and efficiency.
- Gutter Work: Cleaning, repairs, and new installations to prevent water damage: essential for homes near the foliage of Lauriston Farm.
- Flat Roofs: Specialized installation and repair for modern extensions and garages.
- General Building Maintenance: Ongoing upkeep to keep your property’s exterior in top condition.
It is important to note that while we cover a wide area, we do not service city centre tenements (EH1, EH2, EH3). Our focus is firmly on residential and domestic roofing for individual homeowners in areas like Blackhall, Silverknowes, Cramond, Davidson's Mains, and Barnton.
Why Transparency Matters: Free Photographic Roof Reports
One of the biggest frustrations for homeowners is being told they need expensive repairs without seeing the evidence. At Roof Fix Services, we’ve eliminated that guesswork. We provide Free photographic roof reports with every enquiry.
Our team will access your roof using safe, modern methods to take high-definition photos of any problem areas. We then sit down with you and explain exactly what we’ve found. This "frictionless" customer experience ensures you have visual proof of the work required before you spend a penny. No jargon, no hard sales: just clear facts and professional advice.
"We were worried about a leak near our chimney. The team from Roof Fix Services came out, took photos, and showed us exactly where the lime mortar pointing had failed. They fixed it quickly and left no mess behind. Highly recommended!"

Advanced Diagnostics: HD CCTV Chimney Surveys
In older properties around Cramond Brig and the leafier parts of Blackhall, chimneys are often a point of concern. Traditional inspections often required expensive scaffolding just to find out what was wrong. We’ve invested in modern diagnostic tools, including High-Definition CCTV chimney surveys, to save our customers money.
By using these cameras, we can inspect the internal flue and external structure without the need for immediate scaffolding. This allows us to provide an accurate quote and a targeted repair plan, keeping your costs down while ensuring your chimney remains safe and efficient.
Professional Qualifications You Can Trust
We don't just claim to be experts; we have the credentials to prove it. Our team holds a combined 22 years of hands-on experience, backed by formal qualifications that set us apart from "cowboy" operators. For general roofing work in EH4, we rely on our SVQ Level 3 in Roof Slating, Tiling and Cement Work.
We are also proud to be recognized by the industry's leading bodies. Our SQA Level 7 Advanced Craft Specialist status and our Redland Roofing Systems Shield award are testaments to the quality of craftsmanship we bring to every home.

No Subcontractors, No Mess, No Stress
When you choose Roof Fix Services, you are choosing a team that cares about your home as much as you do. Our "no subbies" guarantee means that the friendly faces you meet during the initial consultation are the same people who will be on your roof doing the work. We don't outsource our reputation to third parties.
We also operate a strict zero-mess guarantee. Roofing can be a dirty job, especially when removing old slates or clearing gutters, but we ensure that your driveway, garden, and paths are left exactly as we found them.
If we encounter a job that isn't the right fit for our expertise: for example, a highly specialized heritage restoration that requires a different set of tools: we won't just walk away. We will always try to recommend a trusted contact from our local network who can help, ensuring you get the right result for your home.
"The team were professional from start to finish. No hard sales, just honest advice and a fair price. They even cleared the debris from our garden after the guttering was replaced."
