Get a free quoteJ. Shearer Roofing is a family-run business with offices in Muirend and Jordanhill, and we recently expanded into Ayrshire. For over 30 years we have looked after roofs across Glasgow — from a slipped slate that needs sorting this week to a full new roof planned for the summer. Most of our work comes from repeat customers and word of mouth, which tells you how we like to do things. We are NFRC approved contractors, and we are on the East Renfrewshire and Renfrewshire Council Trusted Trader scheme.
Slipped slates, cracked tiles, tired flashing, a leak that only shows up in a storm. Most repairs are finished in a day, and we will tell you straight if a repair is all you need — no upsell.
Full strip and re-roof in slate or tile, done properly: breathable membrane, treated battens, new leadwork, and ridges bedded to last decades, not years.
Fresh roughcast and render repairs that keep the Scottish weather out and tidy up the whole look of the house. A big part of our work across the Southside.
Leaking gutters, sagging fascias, blocked downpipes. Replaced or repaired, with the roofline left watertight and the garden left clean.
Felt and modern flat-roof coverings for extensions, garages and porches, finished with proper drainage falls so water goes where it should.
Chimney repointing, leadwork, and general property maintenance — the small jobs that stop big problems later. Domestic and commercial.
Tenements, semis, detached houses — the roofs Glasgow actually has. We explain what is wrong in plain language, show you photos, and quote a fixed price before we start.
Shops, offices, managed blocks and rental portfolios. Planned maintenance, condition reports, and reactive repairs with minimal disruption to tenants.
Glasgow weather does not ask permission. If wind or rain has opened up your roof, call us — we make it watertight first, then sort the permanent fix.
