“Thirty years on Scottish roofs teaches you what brochures never will — where the wind gets in, and which shortcuts come back to haunt a house.”The FRBS team · Glasgow
Seven trades,

Roof slating
Traditional slate roofs repaired and re-laid. We source matching slates so patches disappear into the original roof, and re-slate full roofs with proper underlay, battens and leadwork.
Roof tiling
Concrete and clay tile roofs for replacements and new builds. We strip back to the timbers where needed, check the structure, and lay tiles to the manufacturer's specification.
Roof repairs
Slipped slates, storm damage, leaking valleys, broken ridges, chimney flashing. Most repairs are finished in a single visit — the small faults that become expensive if ignored.
UPVC fascias & soffits
Rotten timber fascias replaced with maintenance-free UPVC, plus soffits and guttering. The finishing touch that makes a roof look new and stops water getting behind the eaves.
Roughcasting
Protective and decorative roughcast wall finishes, repairs to cracked or blown render, and full re-casts — matched to your existing texture.
Roof maintenance
Planned check-ups: gutters cleared, moss treated, flashings checked. Sensible for older roofs, landlords and anyone who would rather prevent than repair.
Building work
Chimney repairs and repointing, leadwork, roofing-related masonry. If it sits on or under a roof, we can usually take it on.
What things cost.
Roofs vary too much for fixed prices, so treat these as rough guides. Your written quote — free, after a survey — is the number that counts.
