Chapter 01 — The firm

Three decades of Scottish weather, answered.

We are First Roofing & Building Services, a family-run roofing company based in Glasgow, with offices in Kirkintilloch and Clarkston and a third team in Falkirk. For over thirty years our slaters have worked through every kind of weather the central belt can throw at a roof — and learned exactly where it gets in.

We do roof slating, tiling, repairs, UPVC fascias and soffits, roof maintenance, roughcasting and building work — for homes and for commercial buildings. Competitive pricing, free written quotes, and a tidy site at the end of every day.

Chapter 02 — The work

Seven trades, one phone number.

01Roof slatingTraditional slate roofs repaired and re-laid, with matching slates sourced so patches vanish into the original roof.
02Roof tilingConcrete and clay tile roofs for replacements and new builds, laid to specification over checked timbers.
03Roof repairsSlipped slates, storm damage, leaking valleys, chimney flashing — most repairs finished in a single visit.
04UPVC fascias & soffitsRotten timber replaced with maintenance-free UPVC, plus guttering — the finish that makes a roof look new.
05RoughcastingProtective roughcast finishes and repairs to cracked or blown render, matched to your existing texture.
06Roof maintenancePlanned check-ups: gutters cleared, moss treated, flashings checked — small faults fixed before they grow.
07Building workChimney repairs and repointing, leadwork, roofing-related masonry. If it sits on a roof, we can take it on.

Chapter 08 — FAQ

Asked often.

How much does a new roof cost in Glasgow?
Every roof is priced after a free on-site survey — no two roofs cost the same. Size, pitch, access, slate or tile choice and the timbers underneath all change the figure. The guide table gives rough sample ranges; your written quote is the real number.
How do I arrange a free quote?
